Americans are stopped and checked to ensure no violations of the law are taking place. This should be the case for everyone within the boundaries of the United States of America. However, it should not lead to profiling of any kind because humans deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. As a result, McCollum's proposal may need to be more narrow to ensure that profiling and discrimination does not take place.<br /><br />It is understandable that people from other countries want to live in America due to possible better opportunities and/or a better life for their family. However, countries have rules in place that their citizens and non-citizens within their boundaries have to follow. Furthermore, when visiting and/or relocating it is important to respect the country and its citizens. I have friends who immigrated to Florida legally from places like Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mexico, etc. and they are disappointed that many people who immigrate to Florida illegally disrespect the United States by refusing to learn English and discriminating against citizens of the United States.<br /><br />I believe that people should be able to immigrate to the United States legally and should be aided in doing so. Those who are in the United States illegally should be given a chance to gain legal status. Also, those who immigrate should follow the same laws that citizens of the United States follow and should respect the citizens and culture of the United States.DaVatricenoreply@blogger.com
