I recently read this article in USA today that talked about
immigration reform and how it’s back in the hands of Washington where it should
be. This article speaks about different issues of the immigration laws that the
state of Arizona has tried passing as well as the other states that have
adopted similar laws. The authors of this article obviously don’t feel the same
way I do about immigration. They believe that immigration laws are back to
where they should be; Washington. This article targets voters who have strong
views on the status of our country’s immigration laws and what the current or
next president is going to do about it.
The author does point out that the reason that the amount of
immigrants in the country is Washington’s fault. But the author then states
that this is where it needs to be fixed as well. Congress has refused to work
out any type of compromise regarding immigration. This is problem as it’s
becoming more and more of a problem in the United States.
I don’t agree with the author of this post. I think that the
immigration laws should be up to each individual state. In my personal opinion I
don’t think that any immigration law is too harsh either. My opinions come off
as very harsh when it is regarding immigration. I have no sympathy or patience
for someone who comes into this country illegally. I am sick of paying their
bills and supporting their families. The author believes that these issues will
get resolved at some point. I don’t think that Washington will ever make the
right choice. Arizona has the right idea. The author states that Arizona’s “show
me your papers” law opens the windows for racial profiling. When you look at
illegal immigration in the United States, it is all racial profiling. If people
get offended by it they need to toughen up and stop complaining. Show your
legal documents and get on with your day. If you don’t have them, you don’t
belong here. That’s it. These laws need to be up the each individual state. I
believe that over time the illegal immigration numbers in this country will
decrease.
Take it or leave it.
