common ground on the immigration debate

by CG

Do you notice how immigrants are being mistreated? (Maybe they are racist.) I bring this point up because immigration is a big deal right know. There are a lot of immigrants that are getting in trouble for minor things. I've noticed how some police are tricking immigrants and saying that they don't have insurance or when they are by a children school they tell them that they are going 16 miles per hour when the real reason is that they are going 15 miles per hour. People are doing whatever they can to catch immigrants and the silent message is "we don't want you here." But I'm not sure that's what people really believe.

People are talking................

Everybody's opinion counts. Weather its good or bad, a voice should be heard. Some people think that we should let them stay and some people think they should go back to wherever they came from. I think the major issue for most people is if immigrants start being bad or trying to take over. Yet, from my experience, immigrants are just people who wouldn't hurt anybody, especially cops, because most immigrants have respect for them. If they risked their lives to cross a border, they don't want to cause problems here. If most people can agree on this, then we can start to make progress in our conversation about immigration.

In conclusion I think that we all know that we need to be fair to immigrants. Just think about how it would be if you were in there shoes. What would you do for the safety of you're family? Would you do a crime to get money, food,and clothes for you're family? Would you dare to be an immigrant? Would you stand the pain and suffering of the people just to put bread on the table?
