Felipe Calderon, the President of Mexico, recently met before congress speaking mostly about the immigration issue with our southern neighbors. President Calderon has describe the law as discriminate; many were wondering how he would respond in front of congress. From The Mexicans perspective, many of the criminal issues could be considered cause my America itself. The guns, the money and the demand for drugs are all what the cartels are working so hard for. This was not how the speech went. Many of President Felipe’s topics were hitting mostly on how Mexico could improve their own economy and become a more technological nation, increasing security and police forces as well.
Weeks after the bill in Arizona has passed, many American are realizing that it’s not the worst law for the times. According to 75% of democrats nationwide and 84% of GOP, this law is exactly what is needed. Many look past the racial profiling issues and silent acknowledging that it is a tool that works.
Where does this leave President Obama? He hasn’t done much of anything to address the immigration situation on a National level when 75% of his own party thinks that something similar to the AZ bill needs to be done. National Security starts at our borders. Many think it may be a republican issue but many liberals support some type of Immigration Reform on a national level. Several of the President’s administration has been asked directly if they have ready the bill, all have said they glanced at it…but have not read it. Yet, President Obama still says his administration is working hard to find civil right issues within it. Unfortunately between the media and others the Arizona law has been labels “bad”. Yet The American citizen safety remains in 2nd. IN the upcoming month and year we will see if Obama’s administration can step up to the plate and work on this issue. Although being an election year, many elected officials don’t’ want to jump that sixteen foot barrier.
