Sammie, the author of the article “Arizona's New Immigration Law Continues to Make Ripples” writes in favor of legalization of the millions of illegal immigrants residing in our nation. What Sammie doesn’t point out is that while America may be known as a “melting pot” there is a difference between immigrants coming to the America to start a life here, and the illegal immigrants who cross the border in search of work. The immigrants coming to live, and stay here are beneficial to society as a whole. They contribute to our economy and help our nation profit as a whole. The illegal immigrants crossing the southern border of the United States have many key differences that were not mentioned in this article. One of these differences is that these immigrants entered our country illegally. They have already chosen to break our laws and I suppose people who don’t believe that we should react to this have the same level of respect for the other laws of our nation. Another key difference is that while immigrants who move into America do benefit our nation and help our economy grow, immigrants who cross the border illegally –more often than not- do the opposite. These immigrants come, take jobs in a nation that is already short on work, and then send much of their earnings back across the border to their families, thus adding to our nations growing number of economic problems.
I understand that people don’t want to be singled out because of the color of their skin but, when a clerk at a liquor store asks to see an ID is that really so different? Could that not have been caused by profiling? Then why not ban liquor stores from checking people’s IDs for the sake of people who don’t like being singled out? Of course this is ridiculous. The laws is in place because it is for the greater good.
