Games Used by Politicians Using Immigration

Politicians use immigration in order to cover up more important issues that should be of more interest to the American people. Since the beginning of the war in Iraq, the government was being harassed about the occupation in Iraq. The government had to give speech after speech to the American people to try to convince them that everything was going to be fine, and that the war on terrorism had to continue in order to show the world that the 3000 Americans that lost their lives in the World Trade Center, would not be in vain. The government needed to find something that would deviate the people from the Iraqi war because it was becoming very frustrating to them. The government finally thought of the immigrants because this is a very important topic to most of the people in the United States. Here is where the Immigrants became very handy and the government started the contraction of the border fence and the raids against immigrant.
The Secure Fence Act of 2006 was taken by Republicans to President George W. Bush just before the election (CNN.com). This is one of the ways that the politicians use immigrants to achieve better results on their campaigns. President Bush also visited 5 countries in North, Central and South America, making his last stop in Mexico. President Bush reassures president Calderon that he has not given up on overhauling immigration policy (Asia News). Politicians do their best to touch all matters in order to be in a good situation when it comes to the elections, also when they become frustrated on a certain topic. Immigration will not stop because there are four sides to secure around the United States, but the immigration topic will slow down once a better topic is found or the Iraqi war ends. The information above gives few of the ways that immigration has been used by politicians for their own benefit.
Next blog will have information on terrorist and information showing that they come legally to the United States.

The government is always trying to cover up something. What do you think would be a fair solution to the immigration problem? In addition, could you split your info into two paragraphs?

I agree with the first comment, as far as the government using this subject to steer away from the events that are going on in Iraq today. I don't feel that the immigration topic should be blown out of proportion like that.

Very interesting post here! You blend data with your positions nicely. I would also chime in and suggest a few paragraphs here, just to make reading easier on the eyes.

So *why* do you think immigration is an issue with so many Americans? How does it affect the average American on a daily basis? Does it?
