Immigration

Immigration is a huge and complicated issue but there seem to be two main sides to the argument. Liberals believe that they need to legalize illegal immigrants who are currently living in the US.  They want to make it easier for immigrants to get visas into the country, and believe that immigrants should have all of the same rights as US citizens.  Conservatives believe that immigration laws need to strengthen and become more difficult, so our countries economy does not fall.  They want to make it more difficult to get visas, and overall tighten the restrictions. Their reasoning is worries about economy, jobs, health and much more.

I am in the middle of the immigration issue, because I believe in both sides of the argument.  On one side I feel that anyone should be allowed to improve their lifestyle, however, on the other hand by coming to the US illegally, people are getting to work without paying taxes, but still getting all the benefits of living in the US.  If I had to choose I would probably sway more towards the conservative viewpoint.  Today's presentation went okay, however, the TV clip and song not working made the presentation weaker.  Overall, I think all of these presentations went pretty well, and they were good means of discussing the many pertinent issues relevant in our government today.
