Legislative Branch - Article 1 , Section 9 , Limits on Congress

            Gov. candidate's in 20 states endorse anti-immigration laws

Article 1 , Section 9 , states " The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing................ but a tax or duty may be imposed..........."

  This statement means that the congress can't stop someone from going to another state they either have to make them pay taxes. This relates to the article because , in the article 20 states wanted to have the " Anti-immigration" law.

       Since 20 states wanted that law to be passed. I think that they don't want immigrants in their state. So if that law is passed then it will be illegal for immigrations to go to that state. Immigrants are illegal , they don't pay taxes because they aren't even supposed to be in America. Some of the representatives think that it's unfair that the people in there state are paying their taxes, but immigrants are coming in their state and not paying taxes. That's why they want the bill passed they want everything to be fair.

       Another representative think it will be a good idea to create an " unwelcoming environment to immigrants" . I don't think that's a good plan. America is the land of the free, not the land of the " we don't want no immigrants."

     In my opinion I think it's a compliment when immigrants want to come to America. They think our country is great and want to be apart of a free nation. They come here to better themselves. I think it's a good thing that we can provide that for them. It would just make things easier if they got all their paper work so they could be here legally and pay taxes like everyone else.
