How Will This End?

Following the recent new about Arizona’s new immigration law and immigration reform a voter has many hard choices when it comes to voting for a senate. We are the land of the free and are made up of immigrants. A person in Europe spends a lot of time and money to get to America for a better life. They have to first of all have someone form America ask and fill out a lot of paperwork for them to begin the process of moving. Then every family has to go through tests to prove that they are worthy to come to our country. After that they come to this country with nothing but what is in a few bags that they where allowed to bring. Once they are on this side of the world they have low monthly payments that pay their plane tickets. On the other hand you see someone who decided that they wanted to go to America to have a better life and instead of coming legally they “jumped” the boarder. They live in our country and take our jobs. Arizona is legalizing a new law that will let a police ask for proof of legalization to anyone they suspect is an illegal immigrant. Karl Rove who was a former adviser of George W. Bush said “I applaud Arizona for taking action (The New York Times)”. Senators are torn at this point and do not know who’s side to be on. They want the vote of the people who are for the law, but Latinos do make up a great number of voters. Senates have to please the public in order to get elected. Who is going to vote for them if they do not like what that senate is standing up for. Suspecting that after Arizona’s law comes into action immigration reform will have to happen and quickly. Washington will move to legalize Latino immigrants and we will be able to secure the southern boarders more. Linda Chavez who is the republican chairwoman of the Central for Equal Opportunity said that “the fact is, you can’t secure the boarders if you don’t fix immigration, because the two go hand in hand (The New York Times)”.
