In Washington, October 26th President Bush signs a bill that is construcyed of 700 mile fence along along the southwestern border. But still is calling for a more intensive immigration laws. Bush says "It is an important step toward immigration reform"The bill is what the House of Republicans want the lower house, wheras the Senate didnt. The bill provided for a guest worker program and eventual citizenship for immingrants, as well as border security.
The House Republicans disliked anything that would challenge amnesty for illegal immigrants,
Eventually, Mr. Bush realized that his desire for “comprehensive” immigration reform was dead, at least for this election year, so he bowed to political reality and embraced the border-security concept, at least for the time being. On Sept. 29, the Senate approved construction of 700 miles of fence, the House had passed the bill earlier in September.
Bush said “I want to thank the members of Congress for their work on this important piece of legislation,”but also, “Ours is a nation of immigrants. We’re also a nation of law. Unfortunately, the United States has not been in complete control of its borders for decades, and therefore illegal immigration has been on the rise.” In addition to the fence, the bill Mr. Bush signed today provides for more vehicle barriers, checkpoints and advance technology to better secure the border with Mexico. There were some critics to this Bill and they are still thinking about if it will really help stop people crossing the border.The spending budget on the bill provided $1.2 billion for the fence and accompanying technology advances.
My opinion: Well, I feel that having a program for immigrants is exactly the same thing as Roosevelt di for the New Deal creating schemes to better America. This wall/fence may help Mexico but, I doubt as well that it will stop immigrants from crossing.
