class discussion on immigration reflection

I really enjoyed talking about this particular topic the class discussion became very heated but i enjoyed hearing other peoples opinions and views on this very serious and controversial topic.I think that there should be a special program that helps illegal immigrants who want to better there life and get a better education. the dream act is a great program in my opinion because it benefits those who want to help. i think that the u.s is just afraid of the competition for illegal aliens. as i pointed out in class there are very few actual non citizens in our state and federal prisons so why the false claims? i think that the u.s is just uniformed or misinformed by today's media. i believe that the media plays a big role in today's fear towards illegal immigration. the media likes to dramatise what is going on with illegal immigrants especially on our southern border. as we saw in our class discussion this topic became very race orientated because when it comes down to it the topic has alot to do with race and will always come down to race.i really enjoyed hearing both sides of the argument and the ball helped.:)

illegal immigrants in prisons

The u.s likes to make claims of how illegal immigrants commit a lot of crime and make statements that federal and state prisons are mainly made up of illegal immigrants. the truth is that less than 1/3 of inmates are non citizens. in the last few years the non citizen inmate rate has decreased to less than 20% in federal and 6%in state. i think that illegal immigrants are just the escape goat . i don't think that ,a small percentage of illegal immigrants that come over should give a reputation for all the others. If the u.s doesn't want to spend money for illegal immigrants in prison why don't they deport them saving money. i think that people believe anything they are told and unaware of the statistics. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/30/business/30leonside.html

immigration laws

http://immigration.laws.com/immigration-history/legislative-history-of-American-immigration Due to the much controversy about immigration there are many laws for immigration that are in affect.For example we have quotas,The immigration quotas established that around three-hundred and fifty thousand immigrants would be permitted access to the United States.we have also had many acts in the us constitution due to immigration.we have the thirteen fifteen Chinese exclusion act of 1882 and the immigration acts of 1891, 1893, 1903,1907 and the immigration acts of 1917, and 1918. All of these   act make it harder for immigrants to come over and start a new life. I think the government should create a document that allows immigrant workers to prove there way to citizenship.
