Fight for Immigration Control in the U.S.
January 26 2017 By Abiodun Giwa
President Donald Trump has signaled beginning of his administration's immigration reform, a reminder of his plans to build a wall, between United States and Mexico.
Already, a meeting with President Trump by the Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto in Washington, is said to be in the plans.
Though the Mexican president has reiterated his country's position not to pay for the Trump's administration's proposed wall on the border between the United States and Mexico. Against Trump's assertion during the campaign for election, that Mexico would pay for the wall.
The public, is watching to see, who between the American president and the Mexican president, would win the debate over the wall. But there is another debate within the U.S. between pro-immigration and anti-immigration groups. Among the anti-immigration groups are mayors from many cities in the U.S., who say they will do everything in their capacity to frustrate Trump's anti-immigration stance.
According to the New York Times in a news report, on Thursday, officials from a number of cities said they were prepared for a protracted fight after Mr. Trump signed an executive order, saying he would halt funding to municipalities that did not cooperate with federal immigration officials.
But who is afraid of a fighting? Do those officials think Trump is afraid of fighting? Haven't they see how far he has come fighting his way from the primaries to the presidential election and subduing all oppositions in and outside his party? Haven't they heard that Trump said he would not tackle issue with empty words?
Some interviews conducted by Global Pentorch reveal that anti-immigration reform groups have mistaken Trump's intentions, saying that Trump's himself is a product of immigration. Trump. they say is not against legal immigration, but illegal immigration. They ask whether Trump indeed is opposed to anyone with papers from entering the country? They also ask whether it is sane for any country to open its borders for anyone willing to enter to do so, without any form of control?
Everyone agrees that it isn't that the U.S. does not have immigration control, but that it has been seriously abused by people who think they can stroll into the country without papers and nothing would happen as in a countries without laws. They ask whether there is anything wrong in enforcing the laws as Trump has sought to do, and put measures in place to address areas that have ensured increasing number of undocumented immigrants presence in the country.
Trump's critics want open borders. He is against open borders. And there many families, who think if they have taken papers to enter the country, and have members of their families waiting on line for their turns, the same should be applicable to everyone entering the country without exception. They say it is about equality before the law.
Campaign for open borders is believed as part of Hillary Clinton's problems in the election, just as it is already constituting for Germany's Angela Merkel's hope for reelection. But how can anyone be talking about open borders, at a time that all countries try to control migrants inflow into their countries, both in the developed and under developed countries?
