Approximately 400,000 are deported each year out of an estimate 12 million living in the country. Immigrant rights advocates and labor activists say, “the Obama administration has continued a policy of tough immigration enforcement against people who are no threat to the United States, even as the administration calls for a new immigration law designed to legalize many of them.” Some believe that Obama has his priorities out of line when it comes to the issue of immigration in America. The deportation rate has continued to increased, but activists claim that this number is bloated by student, janitors and nannies, who do not pose a threat to society. In some cases, these individuals even pay their taxes like a normal citizen would.
Just the same, I wholeheartedly support the decision of the Obama administration to pursue maintaining his promise and policing the neighborhoods of our society. I personally believed the proposed intent to take such actions to be purely for the appeal of the population that actually believes that we should keep our country as our own, such as me. Sure, it seems brutal that families are being deported after living in the US for years. Sure, some pay taxes as they should and contribute to society as they should. But that is the minority. Plus, our nation stands for order and law just as much as it does freedom. If I were to go out a run every red light simply because I thought that it would lead into a better life for me, I would get arrested. The same goes for immigration. I know that some of these poor folks are fleeing from the drug cartels and fleeing for opportunity, but there is a set way to go about it. Hundreds of thousands of immigrants are allowed into the country and then made citizens. They wait in line. They do what they are supposed to. What makes the 12 million of self-dubbed Americans any different. It simply displays and utter disregard for what this great nation was built upon. I can’t go to Disneyland and cut in the front of every line just because I want to ride the ride more. People have to learn to respect the government enough to take the time to follow the laws. We really don’t want people who are not going to giver reverence to the establishments that are built.
After saying that, I want to say that I do see that there are some exceptions to the rule just as always. Perhaps Obama should focus on those who do have criminal records, or those who have just come over. Those are the ones who we can change. The ones who have lived their whole live illegally should be given the chance to become a proper citizen and perhaps a chance to stay. But this cannot be done for 12 million people living under the radar. Some have got to go, or at least gain some admiration for the country that protects them.
Things to think about as you read
ReplyDelete1. Illegal immigrants for the most part do jobs no one wants to do and with out illegal immigration Californias economy would colapse
2. Illegal immigrants stay on the good side of the law if they broke the law they would be deported.
3. US citizens fund the drug wars in Mexico the smuggled drugs are being bought by some one who is a US ciizen. Many of the weapons being used by cartels are from the united states. Why dont we focus on the burning house instead of regulating how many people can come out of it.
4. The myth that Mexican drug lords come to America is absolutly a lie why would they come here when they can do what ever they want in Mexico
I do not think we need stricter immigration reform we need to fight harder in the war against drugs. No matter how strict you get on immigration it will not stop the people who are running for there lives. Stricter immigration is like putting a bandaid on a leaky dam.
