Immigration

This article talks about John McCain and how he is switching views on immigration. In the beginning of the election he talked about a temporary worker program for the immigrants here. He believed that eventually there would be a path to citizenship for all the illegal immigrants. But now he changed his stance to that we need to secure the borders before we do anything. He had a lot of opposition to his views on immigration and it hurt him a lot in the voting of some early primary states.

I really do not know what to think about this issue on immigration. I know there are a lot of negatives when we have immigrants here in the country. But also they do a lot of jobs here that most Americans would not want to do. I also know that all of our ancestors were immigrants at some point unless our ancestors were Native Americans. But most Republicans do not agree with letting the immigrants off the hook. However I am not a typical Republican.

My personal believe on immigration is that the immigrants wanted to come over here because it was a better place. They had dreams and they felt that this was the place that they could accomplish them. I understand that they did not follow the rules and process of immigrating the right way. This is one of the biggest reasons Republicans want immigrants to go back. I believe the immigrants did not go through process of immigration the right way because it would have taken way to long. The wait list from Mexico to here would have been extremely long. I would guess some one that wanted to come over would have to wait multiple years. Another thing is that the immigrants would have to probably pay a pretty large fee to go through the immigration process. They probably could not afford to go through the immigration process.

I would have to agree with John McCain stance on immigration. The first thing we have to do is secure the borders. But I feel we need to let the immigrants here to have a chance to become citizens.
