Media coverage of immigration

Recently there has been growing coverage on the issue of immigration. As problems in the U.S. grow and begin to seem unbearable so does the issue of immigration. Frustration from the poor economy seems to have a effect on how people view immigration an its reform. Also due to the growing problems of drug trafficking between the borders, as well as, violent gangs making it more difficult to patrol the borders. Some feel the time is now for reform. With growing coverage comes growing support for a serious issue. Though not all of this recent coverage has been negative. Others believe that with our weakened economy immigrants are a good thing. They feel making these immigrants legal citizens will in turn benefit the country as a whole. Either way you look at it immigration and its potential reform is becoming a hot topic. However, due to all of the other serious issue our country is facing today it is unlikely that immigration reform will happen anytime in the near future.
