The general public has had different opinions relating to the proposed law on immigration (Border Protection, Anti-Terrorism, and the Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005); Many forum sites have been established which ask the public to comment on the H.R. 4437 law and express their opinions. The site nashvilleistalking.com asked people to comment on the law and they received different point of views. For example Nathan Moore states: "We cannot seal the southern border. It is too long, too porous, and would require too much manpower. We would do better to use those resources to scan every cargo container that enters the country." He then adds: "Mexicans did not attack us on 9/11 - if national security is the real concern, we shouldn't overlook our much longer and less monitored neighbor to the North."
While the previous point of view clearly steered against the proposed law others have different takes on it. Bear Creek Ledger writes: "The socialist mind thought is Americans have it too good and need to brought down to the standard of living of those third world countries in which illegal aliens are fleeing." He also states: "For those Illegals who don’t want to be treated like a criminals, don’t enter the United States illegally! For those who say a “Fence” won’t work then I guess the effectiveness of the wall in Israel is a lie and the same goes for the fence along the U.S. border at San Diego."
These two point of views come directly from the people who experienced the on going debate over the H.R. 4437 law, but what did the politicians have to say? The very same politicians that would have to deal with voter turn outs from the Hispanic, or generally immigrant, population which compiles a large number of their voters.
