The War on Immigrants: Stories from the Front Lines

The article i read was about war on immigrants. This article basically states in which what the ICE does to capture immigrants. They have code names in which are Operation Endgame and Return to Sender in which the ICE target immigrants are treat them as if they are hardened criminals. In 2007 the ICE arrested 30,000 immigrants, without the right to appoint a lawyer. Also in some states, laws are passed in which if sheltered an immigrant there shall be punishment. For example in the state of MISS if immigrants have jobs and caught they can face a year in prison or severer fines. This article also states in which raids often occur and when occurred all of them are reported to border patrol. When raided many face evictions from the U.S.A and with very little notice causing baby's to be parent less. The writer states in which the key to fix immigrant and protect our national security at the same time is to enforce laws reasonably. In which i totally agree to. Due to the fact if immigrants were such a big deal these days they wouldn't be here. At the same time look around at all the jobs are done by Immigrants. The writer states our focus shouldn't be on immigrants right now, it should be focused on something else that is a threat. This topic is a controversial topic. Because there pros and cons. A day with out immigrants would take a major poll on our economy. In which we need immigrants to keep our economy running efficient.

I don't think immigrants should be treated as criminals but if they do get deported they have a right to have a lawyer. Or maybe the immigrants should get a U visa.
