-Rep. Mo Brooks -Steven R. David, Constituent Services Coordinator
This is one of the most heated topics in politics today. In the video above we see a politician against illegal immigration versus a pro-immigration perspective.
sb-1070
"SB 1070 is intended as an “attrition through enforcement” doctrine. SB 1070 mandates the carrying of proper documentation for any alien in Arizona, and it levies a misdemeanor on any person who is found without such documentation. It also requires state law enforcement officials to determine an individual’s immigration status during any routine stop, detention or arrest when the official has a reasonable suspicion that an individual might be in Arizona illegally. Additionally, SB 1070 strengthens penalties for hiring, sheltering, and transporting illegal immigrants." -U.S. News
This bill got many responses.
immigration reform:
What would be the solution to the "broken" immigration system?
Mayor of Houston: Annise Parker on Immigration Reform.
"We are not going to ship back 12 million people, we're not going to do it as a practical matter. We would have to take all our law enforcement that we have available and we would have to use it and put people on buses, and rip families apart, and that's not who we are, that's not what America is about. So what I've proposed... is you say we're going to bring these folks out of the shadows. We're going to make them pay a fine, they are going to have to learn English, they are going to have to go to the back of the line...but they will have a pathway to citizenship over the course of 10 years." -Barack Obama

-Eddy Martinez, Former Illegal Immigrant -Diana Marion, Retired School Administrator
"The number of people that are now crossing illicitly across our border, some number of those are dying. I gotta believe that the vast majority of those people, had they had a chance to pay whatever fee they paid to smuggling operation that got them over here. They would gladly pay that fee to the U.S. government to get some kind of legitimate work visa. I think that's immigration reform" -Bruce Anderson, Forensic Anthropologist from Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner
