reflection

The discussion in class was very interesting . Some  people  were for SB 1070 and others were against it. There were a lot good points coming from both sides. It’s a given that people come to this country illegally to make a better life for themselves.  other’s say that it’s a crime to come into this country illegally . I think after this discussion that I’m on both sides  of SB1070. I don’t think its wrong that innocent immigrants are being deported but yet I also think that its crime to come into this country illegally.
