Security locks up the immigration

The President from Mexico Vicente Fox went to the White House floor Sept. 6. He delivered a message, that the United States should relax on immigration law. How ever, after Sept 11, people in Washington began to think about protecting borders. On Jan 25, just four months after the attacks, Bush said that he would double the number of immigration and Naturalization Service agents patrolling the borders from 9,000 ti 18,000 and increase the INS enforcement budget by $ 1.2 billion. The main borders are with Canada and Mexico. They want to make sure the terrorists don't not get in. They also want to be able to buy and sell goods with them. People are confused about immigration that immigrants may are maybe not be terrorists. The politicians don't want to be too strict about the borders because they want to keep the Hispanic vote.

our government is soooo corrupt...... im really mixed about this topic... but i beleive that immigrants do so much for our society and dont get any credit.... our government is very steriotypical... just because someone isnt from here doesnt mean there a terrorist.... the politicians would be stupid to put a look down upon immigration... they would loose alot of the vote...

I agree that many immigrants do a lot of stuff that they don't get credit for it.
