Ok, I'm Latino for those of you who havent figured that out yet, how ever I'm from Puerto Rico which is a common wealth of United States, that makes me a US citizen.
The new proposed immigration law will require that all illigal immigrats be deported if they can not proof citizenship. If they get stoped by a police or just randomly checked and can not proof citizenship they can be deported on the spot!
The argument is that they come into this country and take jobs from the "Americans", they don't pay taxes, send the money they make here to their country (Millions), and use the goverment services that tax payer fund such as, Medic aid, food stamps, WIC, ect...
On the other hand this poeple do the type of jobs that must of us would never do, or want to do. Would you like to work at the mall picking up trash and sweeping the floors for $5.50hr? How about landscaping? Construction? Painting? restaurant cook? brick layer? get the picture?
If we deport all illigal immigrant this country will suffer, insted why not issue them a work permite, issue them a temporary social security number so that they can pay taxes like every one else and charge them a fee for the work permite, and use that to fund some type of mediacal assist program for immigrants. Tax them on any monies sent to their country, to make up for the loos of revenue.
This way our houses get built, our lawns keep getting mowed, the mall stays clean and they can stay and make their life in the U.S. Contributing to fund their own goverment funded program with out being a burden to the rest of the country.
I guess the way I see it, is that none of us is really an "American" we all come from ansestors that migrated to this country from their original counrties, to make a better live. I bet that you are glad you live here, in a country full of apportunities and freedom. So who are we to denie someone else the same opportunities and dreams that we all cherish so much? What if they would of denied that opportunity to our parents, grandparent or even great grand parents, where would you be now?
For the most part illigal immigrants are here to better their lives and those of their families, I belive every body should have that opportunity, not just a choosen few.
This is just my opinion, what is yours?
