Session 14: Immigration
Immigration has become a hot button issue since 9/11 and even more so due to the current economic climate. I have absolutely no issues with people coming into this county legally and becoming productive naturalized citizens. I do take issue with those that come to this country illegally even more so with those who profit in the trafficking of illegal aliens across our borders. It's interesting to listen to the different points of view in the Siler City video of how both the African American community as well as the white communities feel as though they are being invaded. I do not agree with this point of view. Nearly every single person in this country came from another country. I like the view held by Eric Liu in that "race is a fiction".

I completely agree with your view of illegal immigrants. I to do not have a problem with people coming into our country, but I do have the problem with people coming in, going under the radar and smooching off the United States. That is not cool!
ReplyDeleteEven though I am an immigrant (legal) I do not support illegal immigration but I believe in the way treating people with kindness and decency.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with your comment about no issues with people coming here legally and becoming citizens. America is a great country and it is understandable why people would want to emigrate here, but they should make sure to do it the proper way.
