Tomas R. Jimenez pretends that the reason immigration legislation is controversial is described by the question, " What effect will these permanently settled immigrants have on American identity?. (article 6)

Since the early 1800's, immigration has been both a crucial component of America's growth and a periodic source of conflict, and in recent years it has become one of the most contentious issues on the nation's political agenda. (article 5)
In 2003, President Bush called for a comprehensive overhaul of the nation's immigration laws, the first since the mid-80's. (article 5)
His proposal focused on creating a guest worker program that would allow immigrants to legally enter the country temporarily to fill jobs that employers say would otherwise go unfilled. (article 5)
If that were done, the fence that was approved last year already would have been built, the border would be secure and there would be workplace enforcement. (article 3)
