Tancredo rides high on immigration

http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-tancredo5jul05,1,6226148.story

Tom Tancredo, a senator from Colorado, proposed a bill that was collasped. The bill states that illegal immigrants should all be sent back and there should be stronger enforcement to prevent illegal immigrants from keep crossing the lines. To be more specific, the bill asked for stronger fence along the borders with Canada and Mexico, asked for hitting employers with massive fines for those who accept illegal immigrants into their workplace. Also, the bill wants to bring criminal charges to mayors and council members who prevent the employees from encountering the federal immigrant agencies.

I agree with Tancredo that there should be stronger enforcement that deals with the illegal immigration. The fences that exist now between Mexico and the U.S. is designed so that the illegal iimigrants could climb it and acome over to the U.S. easily. It is true that the illegal immigrants are a big factor to the American economy, but I believe we could find a solution to this not doing illegal acts. An example would be to mitigate the procedures required to come to the U.S., so that there would be a lot of legal immigrants who will supersede the jobs that illegal immigrants were doing.

I also agree that there should be stonger enforcement dealing with illegal immigration, however immigration is the makeup of our nation and it cannot really be stopped with just legislation. The barriers along the lines of Mexico and US only intrigue immigrants to cross in order to gain the "privileges" they believe they will recieve when they come to America. Therefore, it IS necessary to take action angainst the illegal aspect of immigrants but we must be careful not to shut out immigration as a whole.

The U.S. should without a doubt be stronger in enforcement dealing with this illegal immigration deal. Illegal immigrants migrating into our lands has its pros and cons indefinitely however the recent complaints of the public good has sent this issue out the window. It's clear that day by day, more problems have been introduced school-bound and over all just in general. The U.S. should be taken seriously and not just as a land for oppurtunities. Clearly, oppurtunities come with problems.

I agree with this law but I personally do not feel that stronger fence along the borders could not block illegal immigrants coming to the U.S. I think they should take actions more specific.

I also believe that there should be stronger enforcement dealing with the illegal immigration. Although illegal immigrants are a big factor contributing to US economy, more problems are occuring each day. There should be stronger fence along the borders with Mexico and Canada.
