Mr. Austin, I was having trouble logging into the account. It was finished on time. I have an email sent to myself with a time if needed.

Regarding the bill proposed by the Republicans, Democrats are still either undecided or have switched their vote to the other side. The immigration bill would decide the fate of many immigrants living in the Unites States. The majority vote is for the bill to move into debate, but there is still a chance that enough votes can be gained for the bill to die off. Democrats are worried about the bill. They see the changes to the family based immigration system, border security regulations, and the workforce that many American companies use. Many efforts have been made to persuade individuals to change their votes, but most stand by their ultimate opinions. If the bill is passed it would make it much more difficult for illegal immigrants to be hired. It also calls for current immigrants to move back to their country until a new visa can be issued to them as citizens or temporary citizens. This bill needs to come to a "careful compromise" or it will drastically change immigrants lives in American.
My opinion regarding this article is that the Democrats need to urgently step-up their votes and fight for the bill not to move into debate. Immigrants have a substantial influence in both culture and economy. For example, in California many immigrants have made their living and success as the minimal wage workforce. American don't want immigrants here, but the question needed to be asked is if they want to do the jobs that these immigrants take under. The Republicans are using their power and pushing for this bill to move into debate by all means. The system of checks and balances is not working efficiently because unjust laws will be issued if members of the Democratic party don't decide fairly. The Republicans want a harsher and more severe bill, when there can be a alternative reached with more time and compromise. America is made up of immigrants and we need them here to keep both our economy, culture, and workforce going. I chose this article because my father's business has a large immigrant workforce. If this Republican bill is passed then many of my father's workers will be forced ro leave their jobs, which affects his business.

I think the democrats should step up and back up the immigrants because if we lose them we lose a big contributor to our workforce. Although it is easy to say this, 2/3 of the congress is needed to over ride the veto which is hardly possible.
I agree with your statement about the fact that the check and balance system is seemingly breaking down when it comes to important law making decisions such as this that have the power to change the lives of americans drasticlly. I do not think that this bill should go into effect because it would make it harder for immigrants to get here because we are the land of opportunity. I we are trying to limit the number of immigrants for fear that there is not enough resources here to support already here Americans, I think that we shoukd still take a more detailed look at the whole sending back immigrants untill they can come up with a new Visa. This is uneccessary and could prove detrimental to alot of lives in America, who need I remind you are already working as hard as the next native born citizen.
