Word on the Street compiled by Craig Bennett Iron County Today Do you think the government is effectively dealing with the immigration issue?

The current administration is working hard at correcting the mistakes of the past. I support the way the current “ administration is moving.” — Kyle Preston, Central

The President said he would do something about it, he's not doing the right things about it. I don't think its being “ handled correctly.” — Michael Barber, Cedar City

No. I don’t think the government is doing enough to positively address immigration. When the government “ has the power to deny legal rights and due process to one vulnerable group, everyone’s rights are at risk. ICE has detained and deported many immigrants, ripping families apart and using questionable tactics to take away even the right to a fair hearing and completely ignoring individual circumstances. It is a rubber-stamp system that contains an unnecessary and unconstitutional lack of rights that is unbelievable in the criminal justice system.

The main downfall of an underground parking garage is cost. Another downfall could also be time, mainly because it would take time to build and during that time parking would be a little more confined and downsized. Still even with these drawbacks, is not an underground parking garage a better option that could satisfy everyone? Why then would an underground parking garage not be considered if the benefits outweigh the drawbacks? Does this not protect and help both sides with the issues and concerns that they have expressed? Could this bring more businesses to cedar city? This can be the solution to these problems. Also, by bringing in more jobs and businesses this could benefit Cedar City as a whole.
