This class discussion had its ups and downs, but overall it was progressive and also very interesting. There were many different people with different point of views and aspects towards the senate bill. I think that there were those who were extremely for it because of personal reasons, or situations that have affected them. They have first hand experience of how illegal immigration has affected them and they completely agree with the terms of the bill. They went on to say that the illegal immigrants are hurting our economy because they do not pay taxes. These taxes help support America's hospitals and education funds, and the are very necessary to be paid because they are the living soul of our schools and hospitals. The other side viewed SB 1070 as a harsh bill. They claimed that it isn't fair and that we should not break up the families because of the children. They also claimed that it is an unconstitutional law, because it violates the rights of the fourteenth amendment. But this side of the argument withheld some ignorance in it. Some people were stating to open the borders. I think that they believe that it will be all nice and happy once the borders are opened, but what they are unaware of is the fact that these new immigrants will be coming here for opportunity, and that they will definitely work harder than us Americans for it because they have to earn it more than we do. Once they start to take over the jobs that "we" want to employed in, "we" will be very angry, because employers will take these immigrants because they will work for cheap, and also get the job done pretty well. So, before "we" come to dramatic conclusions like, open the borders, "we" should think about our future.
