Immigration Irritation....


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.
