Well I have been cruising the internet going from site to site and article to article to come up with some kind of base for me to write an abstract about. The Immigration Debate is a widely discussed topic throughout the United States and is turning out to be a major debate issue for the upcoming elections this fall. The views taken on this subject are greatly varied. Whether it be conservative, liberal, republican,deomocrat, whoever, the majority of the public opinion is concerned with this issue.
Nationwide polls conducted by major news media and research organizations between Feb. 8-May 14,2006 show a few majority’s in the public opinion on the immigration debate. A few are: that President Bush is doing a piss-poor job of handling the immigration issue, that illegal immigrants are taking jobs that Americans don’t want, and that the public is almost evenly split over whether or not immigration overall is good for the country. The rally day that happened earlier this spring, when people mostly of Mexican origin walked out of jobs, schools, etc. to show how significant this part of the community is, didn’t cause as much of a stir as planned. Well, atleast the polls that I found showed that actually support against illegal immigration in general rose.
So pretty much we’re dealing with a whole bunch of different point of views, from religion to the president, everyone has something to say. Hopefully things won’t get too violent.
