Illegal Immigraiton
I agree with the author of the blog entitled, “Texas off the Record,” in the post entitled “Texas or Tejas.” I agree that there should be a harsher punishment for employers of illegal immigrants. If we want to solve the illegal immigration problem we need to stop offering jobs to people who come into this country illegally. The Arizona law about immigration has caused quite an uproar, but really it is just enforcing a federal law. People are required to carry legal identification and a law enforcement officer can request it at any time, like my colleague said. In reality the new Arizona immigration law is not a new thing. Everybody has rights but people need to obey the laws if they want to live in this country.

Immigration
The state of Arizona has recently passed a new immigration law. Will this law affect how Texas deals with Arizona and immigration? I believe it is going to change how Texas and Arizona interact. This new immigration law has become another issue for the governor’s race.
Because of this new immigration law, Texas and Arizona are both going to change. The Austin City council is considering the termination of business contracts with Arizona, and limiting traveling to the state. Councilman Bill Spelman said, “Arizona’s new immigration law puts anyone traveling to the state in jeopardy of being detained.”
Arizona’s new immigration law has become a part of the governor’s race between Rick Perry and Bill White. Governor Rick Perry said that the immigration law passed in Arizona “would not be the right thing for Texas.” Bill White’s spokeswoman, Katy Bacon said “How would police work to enforce this Arizona law, say, in a restaurant without racial profiling? Ask everyone to produce their passports and birth certificates?”
It is the responsibility of the federal government to protect the borders and the legal citizens of the United States of America. If the federal government was doing their job effectively, illegal immigration would not be a major problem. The state of Texas should not have to do the job of the federal government. I believe the solution to the illegal immigration problem is more border security. The federal government needs to help the states protect their borders in order to keep all the citizens safe. Former Chief Justice Roy Moore has stated, “There are too many people in our country who don’t recognize that the rule of law is not whatever a judge says. If that were true judges in Hitler’s Germany would have been correct in ordering people to die.” I believe that everybody should have the opportunity to live in the United States of America, but they need to follow the rules and become legal citizens.
