Immigration

On October 6, 2013 The Editorial Board posted an article on the New York Times about control methods for immigration. They talk about how a bill was passed in June and the house democrats have tried to show there version of the bill with the same comprehensive proposals along with a plan of a "stricter fence" hoping the republicans would sign the bill and of course had gone nowhere considering that each vote may help pass a bill with possible citizenship for an about 11 million undocumented immigrants. ever since the government had went into this shutdown immigration had become an issue still unsolved. as this stalemate continues the editorial says for anyone who is interested In the issue should look into California and speaks of governor brown who has made a huge stride for a possible agenda that will be a huge benefit to aid with immigration. I agree with this democratic governor considering that California is a home to an estimate 2.5 million undocumented immigrants. he on Saturday signed the "trust act" which gave some benefits to undocumented immigrants saying officers cannot detain any immigrants who aren't criminal offenders. and on Thursday brown signed a bill allowing driver licenses for immigrants. the editorial speaks of safer roads and more opportunity's. he says that California is going on the edge with these plans and that California cannot obviously fix the whole system but can make some huge differences and address issues and prod Washington for example. the editorial also says that the shadow existence of 11 million is not unsustainable and mass deportation is not an option. I agree. we cannot just keep deporting immigrants. Obama is on the verge of setting a record. 2 million had already been deported in his time of presidency. Washington can be prodded to extend the rights and maybe possible citizenship for immigrants. even though brown is the only one who is taking action with this issue while the government is shutdown. and California would be the best place to start with the stunning population of immigrants growing.
