The Continuing Immigration Debate
Recently the US Senate passed a bill for immigration reform on border security and current illegal immigrants ability to become American citizens. John Beohner recent spoke, however, saying the Senate Bill will not be voted on in the House but that the House (meaning republican) will come up with its own bill. Personally I am a bit liberal on immigration reform, but I would support a more conservative approach as well, however I hater what Beohner has done here. If you don't like the bill that's fine, but isn't in the capabilities of the US government to edit and amend bills on the floor for vote? Not even voting on the immigration reform bill passed is stupid in my opinion because you want to write your own. Not to mention some conservatives have suggested doing things like putting up electrified barbed wire fences on the border, REALLY!? Are we Eastern Germany, who Ronald Reagan told to get rid of their wall. We want to put our own up. Come on now, this country was started by immigrants. I myself am from Polish and Italian families that came to America for better lives. That is what America is is being the place for people to come to fulfill their dreams of the American Dream. Do we have issues on borders of people crossing illegally, of course, but we don't need to put up an electric fence/wall to keep people out. Tell me what you think on the topic of immigration reform (again)?
