Immigration
When you hear the word "immigration" do you think of Ellis Island? Or does an image of men and women walking under the deadly heat of the dessert to enter the United States illegally come to mind? Whatever your association is with the word, the decision people have made to come to the United States, legally and illegally, has shaped our country in so many ways. It continues to carve our political and economic landscape. It's an emotional subject that generates a lot of anger from people who are tired of paying for illegal immigrants, healthcare and education. It also stirs passion from those who say immigrants play a vital role in our society and that we'd be lost without them when it comes to farming, construction and technology. Immigration reform might be the one topic Barack Obama and John McCain seem to share a lot of the same views on. They both speak about illegal immigrants with compassion and want to create a path for these people to become US citizens. Do you agree with this? What would you do?
