Final Thoughts

So I learned a lot from this experience. I never blogged before and I found it could definitely be a good way to get your thoughts out. Sorry if my topic bored the readers. The only part i had diffucluty in was the video links. Sorry. I guess just copy and paste :). Well I hope yall enjoyed my project. It's due tomorrow. I'm kinda nervous. I don't really know what to expect. I'm sure other peoples are better than mine. But oh well, I guess that's how it goes. I've had so much to do with finals coming up and all. Well I hope everyone has a good time over the holidays. I can't believe this is the last week of school. It came too fast. Peace and Love

What I Think

I think that this is a huge problem in The United States that need to be dealt with NOW. I think that the solution must be comprehensive and include all of the previous said solutions. These combined efforts will make a more secure and economical nation. I think all migrants should be forced to go back to their homeland and wait in line behind those who have properly petitioned to come to America. A worker program should be formed to maintain balance. However, I don't believe in Amnesty. Amnesty is just an excuse for everyone to stay.
President Obama is for the legalization of the illegal population. He thinks that if immigrants pay a fine, stay out of trouble, learn English, and get a job, they should get an opportunity for citizenship (Krikorian 2).

This is a serious problem, but one, I believe, can be solved. Sure it may cost millions or billions of dollars to fix, but money ain't a thing. haha just kidding. We are already spending a lot of money on the immigrants living here so why not put that money toward getting some of them out. The Hispanic influence on our country is evident and the more and more they are allowed to come freely, the more and more it will change. Is change good or bad? You decide.
