Texas government has to step up now, regarding immigration with Mexico. Politicians in the state talk about changing laws regarding immigration, but nothing is being done. The dream act which would give students attending a university citizenship is one of several laws that were proposed, but with no avail. I think that if an immigrant is doing something positive with their life, such as going to college and helping out the community, there is no reason to deny them a chance to officially be a legal citizen of the state.
Right now is especially a dangerous time for Mexicans who live in or close to borders because of the drug war going on which has not been seen before in some cities. These drug lords have in some cases taken complete control of some towns and citizens can do nothing, but live in fear because there is no one to turn to for help. Many innocent people have died and yet the Mexican government turns a blind eye at these criminals.
The Hispanic population in Texas will only grow bigger in years to come and I see no reason for local government to just keep quiet about the issue. Obama also needs to address the nation about the current immigration issue and come up with a way to solve this broken system. It is not an easy task by any means, but I believe that if the government took the time to look at the immigration situation more in depth, they could surely find a way to implement a law that will help immigrants out. This doesn’t mean that I believe everyone should have citizenship because it will surely not be good for neighboring economies and even ours. Now is the time for the government to act and to at least start to fix this issue once in for all.
