A nation of Immigrants

This nation was founded by immigrant seeking a better life and escape from prosecution. Since the beginning of this country immigrants have always been the people of low status of their respected countries. Even the very first who landed here were in some way the minority of their previous origin and were desperate enough to try anything besides their current lifestyle. This trend has continued throughout the years and should come to no surprise that it will continue to happen so long as people remain unhappy with their current living situation and are driven by desperation.

The current immigration dilemma has, however, been altered a bit by the current recession being experienced here in the united states. The recession has left people fearful of their futures which has naturally triggered their survival modes. When this natural occurrence unfolds it leads to the unification of groups, but widens the gaps of not yet bonded ones. It is because of this that situations such as the one in Arizona are occurring. Division of groups are being created out of the uncertainty of whats to come. Nevertheless, immigrant labor is still a much needed factor if we are to have any hope of liberating ourselves of the twisted chains we've stumbled into.

Immigrants carry out some of the most degrading jobs within our countries standards which happen to be some of the most essential. Migrant labor is the foundation for the rest to metaphorically stand on and begin to rebuild with the materials at hand. Logically it would be unwise to reject their offering help and send them packing for it would complicate the feasibility of rising out of this recession.

That's not to say that boundaries need to be made to prevent treating feelings from not yet acquainted groups. Human dignity needs to be the under layer to begin the stitching of a harmonious future and that begins with the rejection of SB1070.
