In the article “Ex-Las Vegan Rubio outlines a GOP vision for
immigration reform” by Senator Marco Rubio, he is outlining his idea of what
immigration reform should look like. He
believes our country was founded on immigration; therefore it should not be
stopped completely. But he also believes
those who have come to our country illegally should be made to step forward and
claim they are not here on a visa. They
should be allowed to apply for a temporary visa, provided they have a clean
criminal record, and their family members given an opportunity to reunite with
each other instead of being deported.
While they are on a temporary status they will not be allowed to apply
for any government assistance. Since
our country depends so much on the agricultural work, most of which is by
immigrants, they should be allowed to apply for seasonal and long-term
visas. As well to attract the other high
skilled workers other countries bring. He
also believes through stronger law enforcement, our country will be able to
control out immigration laws. The law enforcement
should be able to enforce those who are visitors to leave when they are supposed
to, and those who have committed crimes to be deported. He believes there should be a way for
immigrants to come into our country legally and to stay. Those wanting to come to America should be
able to apply and wait the time given.
Through intense testing, background checks with continuous check in's
immigrants should be allowed to legally reside in the United States. But those who have resided in America Illegally
should have to wait to become legal behind everyone who has been patient. He feels if President Obama gives illegal
immigrants a chance to become legal before those who have been waiting
patiently, this will not go well with the reform our country wants to
establish. Senator Marco Rubio stands
with our country needing immigration, but believes it needs to be done so in an
organized and fair matter while being fair to those who are waiting to become
citizens legally.
In
another article by David Brookes, “The Easy Problem,” He has a very similar
opinion to Marco Rubio in that he believe immigration will help our country not
hurt it. But he also feels a little
different on those immigrants who are here illegally. He first feels that the
immigration issue is not as bad as our country makes it out to be. Yes, there are millions of immigrants, but he
thinks our country will benefit more by allowing those illegally here to
normalize and create a legal system for the low-skilled workers. He feel s our economy will benefit more with
immigrants here. Immigrants are more
likely to start their own business. He
says for every 100 foreign born workers in science and math, this will bring
262 jobs for Americans. And he says by
those here illegally, should be allowed to become legal which would boost taxes
to $48 billion, although federal help would increase to 23$ billion, that still
gives the government an extra $25 billion.
He also believes American workers will be more likely to get higher standard
jobs with businesses keeping immigrants on the lower skilled work. Bringing immigrants into our country will
also lower food costs, the price of homes, and in response lowering childcare
and even allowing more women to stay home with their families. With other countries allowing immigrants in
because of the boost of economies, America should step up to the plate and get
with the reform in order to boost the economy.
He says if our country can’t pass a law this year because of all the
evidence there is, that we really are a pathetic country. Both Marco Rubio and David Brooks believe
immigration is a must. It will help our
economy, but Marco Rubio believes they shouldn’t be allowed government
assistance while David Brookes says they should because of helping our economy. David Brooks says to legalize those already
here, while Marco Rubio says they should have to wait behind those who are
already waiting. They both feel bringing
immigrants into our country will bring more work. The evidence is showing immigration will help
not hurt.
