There is actually a simlar debate happening closer to home in Britain. <br /><br />In times of recession I think that xenophobia can intensify because people believe that somehow immigrants are stealing jobs.<br /><br />However, I know in America the situation is different as these people crossing the border are bringing crime and drugs with them to a greater extent than in the EU. <br /><br />I think he US does need stricter immigration controls but the parts outlawed by the judge were siimply racist in my opinion. We can counter immigration without becoming biggoted.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment. Much appreciated.Madbeanmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052968110928433116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1360653518572216740.post-16636214907922611602010-07-29T20:42:54.979+01:002010-07-29T20:42:54.979+01:00Very tricky situation, and I'm still not entir...Very tricky situation, and I'm still not entirely sure where I stand. On the one hand, it's very important for the US to secure its borders, and yet I can still sympathize with those who are just trying to make a life for themselves. <br /><br />If it weren't for the drug wars and the criminals and the national security risks, I'm not sure there'd be a problem. At least, I don't think it'd be as much of an issue.<br /><br />But, as I don't live on a border state, I can't provide a fully informed opinion.Rob Schwarzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10875804967951046069noreply@blogger.com
