Anti-immigration Law

Immigration, one of the biggest issues of Texas. One of my classmate article was about Texas rejecting an Anti-immigrant law. She is completely against this Anti-immigrant law, and debates saying that this law is going to affect Texas economy. She has talked about the HB 17 law which is followed by Arizona. The police authorities don’t have specific idea or training which will help them to differentiate between document and undocumented immigrants. I believe it is not a legit procedure to do so.
Now talking about immigrants, let me ask you why do we think people move to U.S.? The answer is simple they want a better and secure life for them and their families. Let me remind you all also that people think that these undocumented people take all the government benefits which is not true. These undocumented immigrants work hard in for living. As Texas depends on sales tax and property tax, these immigrants are benefiting the state by their expense. And as we all have the warning of upcoming budget shortfall, we definitely don’t want to hurt our economy.
Overall, from this article I can conclude that we need to revise old immigration law, and legalize these undocumented hardworking immigrants, and let them work legally which definitely helps the country economy.
