Political Views on Immigration

George W. Bush on Immigration
Our president believes that we can improve and lessen immigration by protecting the borders and having them more secure. He believes that the government "will never fully secure our border until we create a lawful way for foreign workers to come here and support our economy." The ideas he suggests are a good way of thinking and trying to make immigrants being here an advantage instead of trying to force them out. He also mentions that we need to resolve the status of the illegal immigrants who are already in our country. In this process of attempting to change the status of the people that are already here, how long do they suppose this procedure will take? While putting all efforts to resolve the immigrants that are already here, putting their guard down to the borders who's to say that there will not be a period in which many people come in without anyone else noticing. With all the immigrants living in New York alone, this will take years to fully process and go through honestly and fairly. On Bush's thoughts alone, there can be many contradictions, proving that this subject is not at all easy to touch and look upon.


Hillary Clinton's on Immigration
In Hillary Clinton's Q&A's, she thought outside the box and said we should "do more with our neighbors to the south to help them create more economies opportunity for their own people." Although we have enough of the U.S. going to other countries, sometimes if it is for what they really say they are going for, it would be a good idea because if the people of other countries see that the country they are looking to go to is helping them, they would most likely want to stay to see where they can really go. Hillary Clinton did have a good strategy but what the government needs to understand the U.S. would not be going to these other countries to change them to how we want them to be but to try to give them advice on how they can be very much like us.


John McCain on Immigration
In agreement with Bush, McCain believes with a good worker program, the people living here illegally will be better off as long as they have their working papers. It is true to try to secure the borders, if the borders are fully secured, and people are still being able to "sneak in" what would the government have in mind then. Would there be jobs of citizens lost because they are helping the immigrants come in?
