According to some sources, the laws in Arizona that were set up by SB1070 are based around fear. They were designed to make immigrants feel afraid so that they would go somewhere else. These sources also indicated that this has happened, saying that some who came to Arizona have now decided to leave the state.
By now, everyone is probably well aware of the immigrant children who are crossing the border and coming through Arizona. What some people might not realize is that some of these children are going to sponsors. While that sounds like a wonderful development, there is a problem that people should be aware of. In some cases, the actual identity of these sponsors isn’t known by people in the federal government.
Dreams of a better life lead some people to try to cross the border into the United States without having the proper documentation. When these migrants cross the border into Arizona, they might end up as part of Operation Streamline.
Getting into America from another country is often difficult. For some, sending their children across the border alone becomes necessary. Currently, some of these unaccompanied children are being taken from the borders of Texas to a facility in Arizona. The mayor of Nogales recently went on a tour of that facility and says the children are being well-cared for.
Coming into the country as an undocumented person is sometimes necessary because of a variety of reasons. Once you are here, trying to get a legal status can be very challenging. Republican House Speaker John Boehner says that while his party is close to forming an immigration reform plan, people shouldn’t expect a rapid vote on it. Immigrants in Arizona might like to know about the status of immigration reform in the country.
For immigrants, coming to the United States is sometimes done with the hope of prosperity. An increase in opportunities is said to be leading the growth of Hispanic immigrants coming into the country. A report written by Anna Brown and Mark Hugo Lopez of Pew Research Center says that the Hispanic population is becoming more evenly spread out across the country. Some of the 3,143 counties in the country are experiencing a decline, but 3,018 counties have had an increase in the Hispanic population.
