So 500,000 protesters showed up in California yesterday to protest a new bill that among other things proposes to make it a misdemeanor crime for an immigrant to be in the country illegally. This immigration reform bill also "allows illegal immigrants who were in the United States before 2004 to continuing working legally for six years if they pay a $1,000 fine and clear a criminal background check. They would become eligible for permanent residence upon paying another $1,000 fine, any back taxes and having learned English."
What does this have to do with body and soul unity? I am of the opinion that one's culture and heritage (heck even skin color) are not just accidental, but really create meaning, positively and negatively impressing the soul.
Now, before anyone accuses me of being one-sided (since I didn't add some of the other qualifications, which the bill proposes), I wanted to ask some of my fellow bloggers here for your open and honest thoughts about immigration and its effects economic, cultural, moral or otherwise.
Don't worry. I am not going to say "there are no wrong answers."
