1. Category of problem: Immigration
2. Level of problem: National
3.
The article concerns: A bill that will "provide a path to citizenship for
the 11 million immigrants living here illegally and tightens border
security."
4. Why is this important to families/individuals
OR how does it affect individuals/families?
a. Many families and
individuals will benefit from the passing of this bill. Not only
will illegal immigrants benefit from this, but their families will as well. This bill will make it so that families and individuals can now
live legally in the United States. On the other hand, many people that are against immigration will be affected as well.
5.
What are your views on the issue/policy?
a. I am on the fence on this one. Allowing these
illegal immigrants to become US citizens is one thing, however many are angry
at the idea of offering citizenship to the United States to those that broke
our counties immigration laws. Obviously there are rules and procedure that
will be followed. I feel that if this is regulated correctly then it could be
an improvement in the direction that we are going. First off, tightening border
security is a step in the right direction. I am not opposed to letting
immigrants enter the United States; however there should be a procedure for
doing so. I feel that if the proper regulations are followed, then a good
system could progress. Also we need to start off by making all of the current
illegal immigrants, legal. This will lower the amount of illegal immigrants out
there, and allow for them to become citizens of the United States. We then need
to set proper procedures for immigrants to come into the United States and to
reside here. If all of the proper procedures are followed then a system could be
formed to regulate the illegal immigration issue that the United States faces
today.
