Immigration has been such a hot button topic in the last month, that it needs to be brought up again. The opinion piece in the Montage really hit some good points on this topic. There are more points that need to be explained. People are blasting the article because they think it supports slavery and they go on to talk about Mexico becoming the 51st state because they believe we should over take their country, which is kind of ridiculous. There are some sports that are taking a stand on this issue, even though a lot of people believe this issue is not any different then what we have been doing for the past 30 years.
The Phoenix Suns just announced that tonight during Game 2 of the NBA Finals that they are going to have their jerseys say Los Suns, for Cinco De Mayo and to protest their view on what is going on in their state.
In Major League Baseball, players are talking about boycotting the All-Star game next year, since it is going to be in Arizona, because they refuse to play in a city that has a strict law like the new immigration law that was passed 2 weeks ago. A lot of players have come out and gave their strong opinion on why they are against this bill.
All these things could happen. Why are people saying this is no different, if people are taking so drastic a measure to go against what is happening in Arizona. Why are their protests going on right now because of the bill?
This doesn’t make sense. People should be asking theirselves, why am I against the bill?
That is truly the real question, since people are claiming this is unconstitutional and against our own civil rights as a nation.
