The reason I chose this article is because immigration is an issue that Congress and President Obama have not resolved. This article is about the federal government wanting Governor Malloy to house 2,000 immigrant children in Connecticut. Governor Malloy does not want to house these children because the institutional facilities in Connecticut are in poor and unsuitable conditions. Malloy also sees that placing children in family settings is a better option than placing them in an institution. With this in mind Malloy had 325 children placed in a family setting in Connecticut. Malloy overall saw that placing only 325 children in family settings is a better choice than placing 2,000 them in unsafe conditions.

Questions:
Do you agree with Malloy's decision to house immigrant children with families or do you agree with the federal government to house children in government facilities?
Is it better to house 325 immigrant children in a family setting or house 2,000 children in a unsuitable facility?
Wow good for malloy standing up against the higher authority, i'll agree with him as it is better for the children to house each child with a family rather than a orphanage-ish sort of setup, I understand that there is a push for these immigrant children to be able to live in the US, but we need the infastructure first
ReplyDeleteI agree with Malloy that housing immigrants with families is much better than placing them in an unsuitable facility. First of all, these are much more comfortable environments than a government facility would be, and is in the best interest for these children. Taxpayers as well benefit because they will not have to pay (against their will, for some) for 2,000 illegal immigrants to be housed in Connecticut. As long as the families are okay with housing these children, I think it is better for them to place the children in these individual family settings.
