Reflection on class discussion

I thought this class discussion was okay. it was just like the last one because most of the class still didnt say anything. I remember saying in my last reflection that this time i was going to say something but I blanked out and just listened. still as i was listening to some of my classmates opinions, i learned a little bit more about immigration reform and other things that they talked about. But after the class discussion, now im in the middle and not on one side. I kinda think that they should be allowed to come here but then i also dont because we have problems with the economy and if more illegals come in it'll get even worse. So for the next class discussion ill read more about what are topic is and try to be one of the people arguing.

Over the weekend U.S. Border Patrol agents fired gunshots in Mexico because they were attacked during a marijuana seizure in Mission, Texas which is a small border town in the Rio Grande Valley.  A lady said that they don't know how many people were involved but that none of the agents were hurt. The Agents found and seized over 1,000 pounds of marijuana and right now its like under investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the FBI and the Mexican government. It said that this year that they have seized more than 800,000 pounds of marijuana in that area. Oh and also in June a Border patrol agent shot and killed a 15 year-old from Ciudad Juarez because in a video it showed him throwing rocks at the agent.

 Today a federal appellate court laid down a local ordinance that was targeted at the illegal immigrants in Pennsylvania and that it would increase the chance of civil rights groups and business groups to kill Arizona’s employer sanctions law and there new immigration law. Also today the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals said that companies couldnt hire illegal immigrants as worker. A judge by the name of Theodore McKee said state and local governments couldnt make there programs to hire illegal immigrants. In Arizona if a company were to hire an undocumented worker they could have there license suspended for 10 days. A second violation was for three years and a third ment putting them out of business.
