Immigration reform on the Republican side of the issue is largely based on trying to keep out immigrants for fear of strain on the already weakened economy. Another goal for the Republicans is trying to make stronger immigration laws that will be able to keep more potential immigrants out of the United States. The Republicans main motivation for reforming immigration laws though would be to tap into the immigrant vote in the United States, that now has become a larger part of the population. Republicans would be in danger of losing many upcoming elections if they were not able to appear favorable to immigrants in the nation.
I agree with the fact that the Republicans want to limit immigration into the country. Although I disagree with the fact that we should be making it more difficult to immigrate to this nation. People should be able to search for a better life within the United States especially if they want that better life for their families. The Republicans understand that something needs to be done but really wether they are willing to work on it is the question.
While I do side with the Democrats on this I issue I can see why the Republicans are hesitant to allow undocumented immigrants into the United States. In the book The Distance Between Us it shows how sometimes it can be very easy to immigrate to the United States illegally. Allowing some of these Democratic laws would make it even easier.
