Wrapping up the migrant debate...

Now that blogger is actually working, I want you guys to post any last thoughts on immigration on your blog. How did you feel about immigration and migrant workers before the unit started? Did your feelings change? Why or why not? How has your knowledge of SB1070 changed? Do you feel like your a more informed citizen after analyzing it? These are just a few questions to consider.

Prior to our unit on migrant workers began I was very much a proponet of immigration reform, and I had a deep respect for migrant workers and the importance that they play in our economy. Since beginning our unit, has my feelings changed? My feeling have not changed on the subject. I think this has to do with my experiecnces with migrant workers in the past. I have worked with many; in Nebraska, Colorado and now California in different occupations. They were all very different, but the one thing that they shared in common was their work ethic and their love for this country. Nobody who is a U.S. citizen works as hard as this group of people, nor have they had to fight as many uphill battles just to be given the opportunity to work hard, and I have tremendous respect for that.
