Too much or Not enough?

On Friday, September 20 New York Times published the article "California Gives Expanded Rights to Noncitizens" by Jennifer Medina discussing the issues in California that deal with the increasing rights non citizens are receiving. This includes sitting on juries, monitoring polls and practicing law. The amount of support illegal immigrants are receiving has grown in these past years compared to how it was 20 years ago. Many states have allowed immigrants to receive drivers' licenses and in-state college tuition. Residents of California whether illegal or citizens are required to participate in public services. But the issue of which rights belong to citizens or non citizens still remains. On the other hand immigrant residents of California who were brought into the country by their parents will have the opportunity to practice law. California is one of the few states which has given illegal immigrants the opportunity to participate in the political world. With more bills being passed in support of immigrantion it has given the public the access to printed ballots and voting instructions in various languages. California is setting the foundation for future changes that may occur in other states over the years to come. This article is worth reading because the issue of immigration is not something that will be resolved by the end of this year and learning about how another state views this issue might enlighten other states and citizens to take action whether it is for or against immigration.
