Bush wants to enforce the U.S security!

On March 25, 2006, President Bush wanted to change the system of immigration. At Washington DC, President Bush attended a naturalization ceremony, which demonstrated how immigrants present themselves. While being in this ceremony, he was amazed by how the immigrants “raise their hands and swear an oath to become citizen of the United States of America.” The way men and women presented themselves demonstrated to those who have tried to come to America searching for liberty and opportunity. Besides, the same way people see America as being filled with immigrants, we are also filled with laws. The immigration laws should be in a need of change. As a result, Bush said in his ceremony that he wanted to protect more the borders, improve enforcement of the immigration laws, and maintain their values. He has claimed, that ever since he became president, he have improved the border security by 66 percent “hiring thousands more Border Patrol agents, and the Department of Homeland Security has caught and sent home nearly 6 million illegal immigrants.” He also wants to organize more technology to avoid immigrants from trespassing to the United States. The technology he is planning to produce is “infrared cameras and an unmanned aerial vehicle, which helps his agents do their job. And we're installing physical barriers to entry, like fences in urban areas.” In fact, if President Bush decides to do all these technology and changes there might be less illegal immigrants entering the United States of America.

Bush visits Guatemala

As President Bush visited Guatemala, he tried to support the rush of deportation that been going out in Latin America. He states that he needs to fix the system because the “impoverish nation” have been seeking opportunities in the United States, legally and illegally. He felt that he needs to change this system by August. Also, he felt that this was a goal for him and the society instead of a deadline. “It was the first time Bush has prodded lawmakers with a time frame since Democrats took over Congress.” This is a time for President Bush to show his effort in the most “domestic initiative” because he only have a few years of presidency. When President Bush visits Guatemala, he was in a tough position because he had to support the “new enforcement actions and expanded barriers along the southern U.S. border.” However, the Latin Americans want President Bush to stop deporting illegal immigrants from United States. The President from Guatemala, Oscar Berger, told Bush about the recent deportation of Guatemala, which disappoints a country. But there was only 10 percent of “its population” traveled north of the Rio Grande. In despite of what President Oscar Berger said, Bush states that they probably don’t want to be send to where they leave, but yet we impose laws. By Bush response, Berger was offended. He says, “The Guatemalan people would have preferred a more clear and positive response -- no more deportations.” Even though, Bush sounded harsh in his response he tried to persuade Latin America with saying “we care about poverty, destitution and social justice.”

Romney gives his pointed of view on Illegal immigrants

Some people believe that in order for illegal immigrants to be allowed in United States they have to be register. For example, GOP presidential candidate, Mitt Romney states that they are an estimate of 12 million illegal immigrants that should registered with the government in order for them to say what are their status and circumstances of being in America. Romney informs that undocumented immigrants that are currently living in the United States shouldn’t receive any “special pathway to legalization.” But he doesn’t want them to be deported right away. He says in a telephone interview with The Chronicle from San Diego, “The first thing I'd like them to do is to register, so I know how many there are, and what their circumstances are,'' suggesting if they have had children that were born in America, or “how long they have been here” or if they are working. There is no way why illegal immigrants should be excuse of not being deported if they don’t have their documents. They have chances to apply for a green card, or apply for a citizenship just like anyone else. Just like Romney says “there should be no advantage in citizenship or permanent residency for the undocumented.” He gives an idea that the United States should have an employment verification system so that they can identify which employee is legal to work or not. If the United States start placing this system they we could enforce that employers follow the law, and if they don’t they would be penalized, exactly like if they don’t pay their taxes. Lastly, Romney believes that he knows that he can’t go state to state deporting immigrants but whoever is here and they are immigrants they should register as aliens so he knows “how many there are and what category they belong” because are whatever the result is they can take action.

Bush visits Latin America countries (he visits mexico)

On March 13th, 2007, the media announced that Bush was visiting the Latin countries. One of the Latin countries he visited was Mexico. While Bush was trying to recover relations with Mexico, the president from Mexico gave him a decent reception. The decent reception was called on “Bush to live up to his longtime promise to make Mexico a priority and criticizing American plans to build a 700-mile fence along the border.” The President from Mexico, Felipe Calderon stated, that the only way you can stop the illegal immigrants to go to the United States and guarantee regional security is to increase the way of living in Mexico. As President of Mexico, he wants the best for his country. He also wants Bush to keep his promise that he has said before. For example, Mr. Bush “took the slight chastising in stride and promised,” a while ago to thrust for an immigrants bill, which would permit more guest workers and offers a path to citizenship for many Mexicans that are currently living in the United States illegally. It would be great if Bush actually does this promise because it could decrease the illegal immigrants that have residence in the United States. Mr. Bush adds, “Mr. President, my pledge to you and your government — but, more importantly, the people of Mexico — is I will work as hard as I possibly can to pass comprehensive immigration reform.”

Supporting deported immigrants

In many cases deported immigrants come to the United States because they want to meet with their families again. Those immigrants that don’t have don’t have documents travel to the United States hoping that deportation will never become a reality. Deportation is a nightmare for those immigrants because once you get deported there is a huge chance that you won’t be able to come back. “Some will try to cross the border again. Others, however, see deportation as an opportunity to return to their homeland, especially during the holiday season.” However, the United Methodist Church’s Joint Commission Project on Border Issues in San Diego opening a program to aid those deported immigrants who chose to return to where they were living in the origin in Mexico. People that represent the Church in San Diego are working with their Baja California counterparts to give the immigrants a “Hope Pack,” which provides “basic products for the trip back, such as food (five granola or breakfast bars), four pints of water or juice, a pair of new underwear, a new t-shirt and personal hygiene products (soap and toothpaste).” The United Methodist Church has three temporary shelters in Tijuana that delivers the Hope Packs to the immigrants. In addition, “the majority of boarders at the Methodist Church shelters in Tijuana are men who have no family or friends in the area.” These men have chosen to leave everything they had to find a better future. These Hope Packs were needed to those immigrants that have been deported because the Rev. Luis Garcia of First United Methodist Church in Chula Vista says “Talking to immigrants at the shelters, we noticed that many times when they needed the most help it was with how to return to their home towns.” People that have been in the shelter find that looking for jobs is hard because they don’t have permanent address or most of them have lost their official documents. In fact, the church is planning to spread the programs to the cities of Mezicali and San Luis Rico Colorado, Sonora. Garcia adds, the Church offers them aid in all kinds of way, such as physical, emotional, and spiritual. Immigrants that have been deported seem to have no hope and the people in the church give them the word God, which gives them hope to their lives. Garcia says, that the Methodist Church have always supported the immigrants that have been deported and that is what being Christian means. It’s important to support those that are less fortunate. “One of the goals of the program is to help immigrants in their home states to get jobs, continue their studies or start their own small businesses.”

Deported Immigrants

There have been many immigrants in the last few years that have been deported for several of reasons. For example, some may have done a crime, such as a murder, rob, or even come with a visa and last in the United States for a long time. However, when immigrants commit these crimes it usually takes long for the immigrants to gets deported. “According to Tara Tidwell-Cullen of the National Immigrant Justice Center in Chicago, a federal judge must first approve the deportation order, and then ICE must obtain travel documents from the detainee's country.” However, after the attack on September 11th, the record of immigrants being deported as decreased. The only record that probably increased is immigrant detention. Besides, after the 9/11 there wasn’t an increase among South Asians and Middle Easterners getting deported, or any of the nationalities that are known as “Muslims.” However, the races that have definitely increased are the Black immigrants (Caribbean or African nationalities) and Brown immigrants (Mexican, Central American and South American nationalities). In other words, “Black immigrants have higher numbers of deportations than Asians, Middle Eastern or White immigrants.” Like in 2002, the total number of Black immigrants being deported was 8,921, for the Whites is 3,090 and the total of the Asian and Middle Easterners is 4,317.

What I have to say about all THIS!!!

For the most part, I sort of agree with some of the laws that have already been established and proposed. I feel that most of the laws have well security with immigrants entering the United States, especially after the whole terrorist attack of September 11th. I mean, its good to be aware of who is coming in the United States, because you never know. For example, after the 9/11, there have been alot of securities not only the trains, streets, and local places but if you read some of the laws that I have mentioned in my previous posts you see that they have strict security guards at the border when immigrants try to enter. In my opinion, this law is extremely strict towards the immigrants. For example, in the H.R. 4437 people that are entering the United States such as, immigrants, victims of human trafficking, and victims of domestic abuse aren't allowed to come in. If so, then they will be removed out of the country or taken into jail. Because of actions of security, I believe that it is well done of them to check who is coming in because that way violence and all the environments will be less dangerous.

I strongly agree on the what Nathan Moore said, "Mexicans did not attack New York on September 11th", so why don't they just focused on those that look like terrorist and let those immigrants come into the United States and let them work. They aren't killing anyone, so let them have their American Dream!
