Illegal immigration is a problem
but a WALL is not the answer....
My apologies to the true Native Americans who were pushed out so many years ago but who is an American today. Excepting the Native Americans we all have some foreign blood in our veins...
Tom Russell says it pretty well...

...What is the answer Mike? Should we just have open borders an allow all who feels the want to do so, just come in? Is there an answer somewhere in between that will work? I wish I knew because as we stand now, one day some idiot from afar who sneaked across that border will surely decide to leave a nice little pkg in some city somewhere which will cause serious havoc and destruction; it's just a matter of when.
Should we just give the country back to the American Indian what is rightfully theirs by many accounts?
There must be an answer somewhere in which we all can live by?
I don't know what the answer is either, but killing innocent children is not the answer. Building a wall that resembles the Berlin Wall is not the answer either. Maybe working with governments to make life more desirable in their own countries, so people would not want to leave in the first place is something that should be pursued. I think most people would want to stay on their own home land if they did not have to live in abject poverty and despair.
This All American Canal System where all these people are drowning and being buried in the desert is a travesty. How can we as American's sit back and let this happen? Aren't we supposed to be compassionate, caring people?
Most of us here in this country had ancestor's that fought, scratched and crawled their way here to make a better life for their families. Most came through legally, not all I'm sure. My ancestor's on my Father's side arrived on these shores in 1636, my Mom's came much later and we have never found records of them entering the country. They fled from Ireland during the famine. Lots of secrets on that side of the family. Did they come in illigally? Good possibility! Don't know, at this point, I don't really care. Their all dead now. I can imagine what they must have gone through to get here and to make a better life for themselves.
I believe we have to have a better system than we have now, I don't believe killing people is the answer. Do we need to keep the bad guys out? Yeah, you bet! But, most of the people we are trying to keep out are not bad guys, they're just poor people looking for a better life.
