Immigration Reform
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/wire/sns-dc-obama-immigration,0,6471381.story
Obama calls it immigration reform but the truth is it is ILLEGAL Immigration reform. It is what to do about the 11 million (low number) of Mexicans (and others) who ran across our southern border (illegally) and work below minimum wage (suppressing wages for others). Many don't pay taxes. They are a burden on state and federal governments. They take up valuable social services. In many instances they commit crimes. They are involved in drugs and gangs and it is a severe problem in many states.
Since there are so many here they actually have a voice in our political process. Corporate America wants them so they can continue to employee them in the shadows. The government does whatever corporate America wants so it is a problem that never gets resolved.
The idea of giving them amnesty for breaking the law angers many people. So what to do. With the downward spiral of the economy the jobs have dried up for many illegal's. But that is not a permanent solution.
For me it begins with securing the border. Where they have secured it the number of illegal's has dropped. There isn't the political will to really secure it everywhere. So again it never really gets fixed
Overall I have no problem with people coming to America but it needs to be in the proper way. Get in line and wait your turn. Learn English and obey our laws. Then everyone is welcome.
