New Jersey governor Chris Christi feels that President Obama has done a poor job in solving the immigration crisis thus far. Christi believes that no matter what your race or ethnicity is, nobody wants to see you suffer. He would like to take charge and do something about it since the president isn't keeping up with this situation. Chris Christi wants to supply housing in New Jersey for these immigrants. If Christi is planning on supplying housing for these immigrants, I have mixed feelings about it. First, it will be very costly. There are too many people crossing the border to give them housing and supplies. However, to turn this into a positive thing, I believe Christi should supply housing as a temporary thing. There have been many immigrants who have followed the immigration laws and requirememnts, so all of them should. They could stay in the housing until they become legal, then move forward to get jobs and live on their own. The question is, do you feel that supplying housing temporarily is the way to go? Or should the housing be permanent?
I feel that if they do supply housing for immigrants, it should only be temporary because it is not the government's responsibility or duty to provide housing for the people whether your'e an immigrant or not, legal or illegal. the US is a democracy and the government providing housing for the people is almost along the lines of communism because of the government-controlled nature of it.
ReplyDeleteIf housing for immigrants were to be supplied, it would have to be temporary. It makes the most sense to do this because we want to give these people time to become legal so they can go create a life the right way. If it were to be permanent it wouldn't make any sense because it is no way our responsibility to be aiding these people especially if they're illegal. Also, if there is going to be any type of housing supplied to these people, it should not be stationed in New Jersey. With the majority of these immigrants coming from our southern border, it would make most sense to set them up in places there. If they were anywhere else we would just be wasting more money on fuel and other services to get them there. Overall, if housing is to be provided for immigrants, it should be closer to where they're coming from, and only be temporary.
