I was extremely surprised to discover an article that stated how a Texas Republican desired to fine or even jail any citizen that hired an illegal immigrant, unless the illegal immigrant worked in a yard or house as a maid or gardener. The Republican, Debbie Riddle claimed that her idea was simply a "clumsy way to keep from stifling the economic engine." However, I view this as an incredibly disgusting double standard and a nod at the wealthy Republican Americans.
I believe that this bill exhibits how right wing legislators finally recognize the importance of illegal or undocumented workers are to our nations economy. This also exhibits another form of marginalization of the illegal immigrant who comes to America in search of better opportunities for his/her family. Instead of allowing them equal opportunities they are subjected to working in the home as maids or working on lawns as gardeners. I truly believe that this proposed law is another form of slavery and it absolutely sickens me that this sort of thinking is still present in our society. I believe that we must allow anyone with innocent morals and values to be able to have the exact same opportunities as me, event though they may have to cross a border just to enter this so called LAND OF OPPORTUNITY.
