Response to J.R.Holle's Post: Arizona's New Immigration Law

J.R.Holle's blog was about the new immigration law in Arizona. She gave clear and concise summary of two articles from reputable sources which argued against the passing of the law. After providing such clear evidence, she states that "it is important for America to become stricter with illegal immigrants." I agree with her position in that the process of become a U.S. citizen should be made easier so that illegal immigration is greatly reduced.

Her first article stated that the new law would just increases the amount of obstacles the immigrants would have to over come before they arrived to America. It would not stop the illegal immigration activities. The other article states: “Arizona's law violates due-process rights by allowing suspected illegal immigrants to be detained before they're convicted." It is evident that both articles argue against the passing of this law.

Illegal immigration presents problems for both the immigrants and the inhabitants of America. The immigrants have to go through long duration of hardships to try to pass the border. Once they get past, they are still not safe. They need to be in hiding; therefore, they cannot have insurance, find good work, or register for any form of help from the government. As a result they are in a very risky position. It can also affect the Americans in that money could be spent on a better cause instead of regulating laws such as these that won't work anyways. In conclusion, I agree with J.R.Holle's position that the immigration process should be easier in order to reduce the number of illegal immigrants.
