In the class discussion about conservatives vs. liberals views on immigration was a bit shocking. Let’s back track. Conservatives are very strict and are money hungry. They feel like their beliefs make the world go round and that liberals are just dead weight. Their views are entirely different. “For every action there is an equal and opposite government program” (Bob Wells). Conservatives enjoy human suffering. They seem to feel as if you have set yourself up to fail then deal with it. Liberals are more welcoming with open arms and are more accepting no matter what’s the situation. There has been statements in the media regarding, U.S President Barrack Obama; stating that Obama might not be liberal enough because he is ready to secure the borders! Immigration is becoming a really huge problem. Conservatives are against immigrants crossing the border without papers. Yes it’s illegal but I’m sure we can overlook that as a country. The main reason why illegal immigrants are coming to the U.S is because in search for jobs. They want to better their lives, who are we to stop them. Oh yes, were one “Nation”. We are a family that agrees to disagree. 
We point our fingers at them blaming them saying they are stealing our jobs! It cant be that easy to steal jobs. They are simply taking the jobs nobody wants and especially for low pay.

Coalition for the Future American Worker Ad: "Elevator"
Narrator: Another American has lost his job. Another breadwinner going home with the bad news.
Nearly 15 million Americans are now out of work. High-tech, construction and auto workers. Engineers.
Yet with millions jobless, our government is still bringing in a million-and-a-half foreign workers a year to take American jobs.
Could your job be next? Find out how you can help save jobs for American workers at AmericanWorker.org.

The following sentence that is highlighted is very important. "Our government" is responsible for this. We are responsible for this. We are their bosses. Were are in charge. We are hiring them! 
They are our maids, butchers, janitors, construction workers. They are willing to get there hands dirty! Conservatives are all about hard work and responsibility and should see eye to eye with the "Aliens". Hypocrisy is what that is. They just want the borders to be secure to make sure the competition that WE HIRE stay out of the U.S.
Most liberals are open to immigration and feel that they should receive the same rights as Americans. Immigration is a human right. This next article was really interesting. Robert Martinez who is the director of the U.S/ Mexico Border program speaks out on the issues. http://www.inmotionmagazine.com/border.html
They are asking for our help and we are turning our heads. They are human beings too! Here is a video of a teenager that gets shot and killed by U.S border patrol! The video was released so they were able to express their judgement.Arresting them is one thing but killing them is wrong. But because they are illegal, They're the Criminals?? We're not very neighborly after all.
I feel very passionately on this subject because as being Hispanic myself; immigration has torn my family apart. I am the only one in my family that has dual-citizenship. My family is split in half because my parents are here along with my sister but my brothers and my remaining family still resides in panama. Now I associate with many "illegal immigrants" and they are really intelligent. Sadly they are unable to further their education because they don't have their papers. Finding jobs are difficult for them. They either have fake I.D's or are just very lucky that someone will say, "Your hired!". This situation is sad. We should at least meet each other half way.

For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing" (Led Zeppelin,"Immigrant Song").
