Since 9/11 immigration has become a huge issue in the United States. Have we gone too far as a free nation? We as Americans are entitled the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But are we sacrificing our own safety in our own country? Chicago has been faced with many different stands on immigration. For example, in "Big Cities Balk Over Illegal Migrants" Judy Keen writes: "Despite a federal effort to enlist help from local police to catch illegal immigrants, some of the USA's biggest cities are declining to enforce immigration laws." Some cities are cracking down on the loopholes in regards to immigration and some cities are simply avoiding the controversey. How will the problem of immigration ever be fixed? Are we as American citizens in danger?
I do not follow up on such events quite frequently; however I am aware of the huge marches held downtown in reference to the immigration reforms. As a second generation American I can understand both sides of the argument to a certain extent. However, I want to feel safe in my country PERIOD! I just feel it is a privilege to be an American and immigrants need to follow the rules properly just as my relatives did. Learn OUR language, work hard and pay your end to the government and honor the best country in the world! God Bless America!
