Immigration Reform: Arizona’s Example

First lady Michelle Obama had her first solo international trip this week in Mexico where she advocated “immigration reforms”. It has been noted that Mexicans are one of the most proliferate illegal migrants in the country.
Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid once announced, “We’re going to have comprehensive immigration reform now. We’re going to do immigration reform just like we did health care reform.” Then after some time, Reid made a 360 degrees turnaround. Perhaps Reid’s sudden change of his decision of “pushing reform now at this instant” to saying it should wait after what the White House had to say is a national concern. But on the second thought maybe it came after chiding from Reid’s neighbor state of Arizona. So latter he had to say, other priorities would have to come first, a few days later. Immigration reform – or “amnesty” is now a growing issue in our country.
Arizona passed the toughest immigration reform bill in the nation, although the said reform is not amnesty, Reid publicly revised his amnesty pitch on the same day. Arizona’s legislature states that being in the state is illegally a criminal offense; this is only if the governor signs the bill. If such this immigration law of Arizona is duplicated in Congress as a national law, undocumented immigrants will be arrested by the police.
In 2007, Arizona started to become strict on illegal immigrants; they passed a law to reprimand employees from hiring illegal workers. Whoever provides benefits to those illegals are punishable by law and this was made a crime last year. This was a success according to Los Angeles Times reports this week, this law reduced Arizona’s population of illegals drastically.
There are two possible effects if Obama will pursue this reform, he will have a widespread support at home if he will listen on what Americans want. On the other hand, if this reform would levy massive deportation; illegal immigrants will have a widespread anger. This reform would make living and working at the United States legally difficult if not impossible. An immigration “reform” which favors them would also make the state an easy access for illegal aliens which would invite many people to do so.

It’s a shame to see the people and businesses of Arizona effected by this. It’s the politicians fault, not the peoples. We all elect fools for politicians.
