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.:)
