Section one of the Immigration Reform is the best section in the entire reform. Although it may be the best stated section of the reform I still think there is a lot of room for improvement. One item I do believe should be kept in the reform is the section where it mentions that...”we will continue the increased efforts of the Border Patrol by providing …show more content…
As a nation we understand that immigrants come to America almost strictly for Jobs. From that point it is our responsibility to not let them work here if they are not legal.

Another tactic that should be added to the reform is if for any employer who cannot prove they are in the country legally, needs to be reported immediately. If this tactic became a known thing for illegal immigrants it could in fact reduce the number significantly.

In order for this to happen the reform it is going to have to be modified and looked at closely and some editing within the sections is going to be made.
I John Lee am voting against this immigration reform. The immigration reform does not have the main focus of protecting the boarders like it should. The source of the problem stems from the boarders. I believe while the Immigration reform is good it is just average. Changes will have to be made in section II and Section III in order for the reform to have a major effect in the near
