It’s a simple question really. Do we continue with the immigration friendly policy that has been the hallmark of our history and the secret behind our astonishing success as a nation, or, do we stop in favor of protecting our citizens from a multitude of threats, ranging from economic to theology?
The question has became an even bigger issue in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, where the 2002 Homeland Security Act decreed that the United States Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) be placed under the jurisdiction of the Department of Homeland Security, who in turn, included immigration under its wide ranging security policy. In an immediate turn of events, the INS was broken up into two separate entities, the Bureau of Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (BICE), responsible for inbound and outbound travel respectively.
USCIS and BICE, along with their political masters in Washington, walks a fine line between the reality of economic interdependence, sociological ethics and security considerations, as we all watch with bated breath from the sidelines while our new national identity is forged in plain view to the rest of the world.
• I believe that every nation must have a secure border but we must also recognize that we do need immigrants.
• I think that amnesty should be given to those illegal immigrants already in the country.
• There should be quick and comprehensive immigration reform to enable a faster, simpler path to citizenship.
God Bless America.
