We see millions of people coming over our southern border
Millions of people are here illegally some through no fault of their own
When your parents bring you here as a child you have no say
When you are born in this nation from illegal parents it is not your fault
Our government works on the principle that we need to return them
They want to build a fence to stop them
Some want to legalize the ones here and start over
Reagan tried this and it proved to be a failure
We need to look at why they are coming to our country
We need to help their country to become economically sound
We need to enrich our southern neighbor instead of China
We need to embrace Mexico and choose to help our neighbor
Nobody wants to leave their home, go to a foreign country
To find a job, to be secure or to face the depravation of family
We will never see an end to border crossings as long as the economy
Of one nation exceeds the economy of the other.
We can help them there within their border or we can help them here
Immigration needs to be fixed-  Root cause is simple, no jobs in Mexico.  Let's form a working relationship to help develop this nation.  Why import everything from China, India.  Let's look at our back door and work to improve it.  If there are jobs, available in Mexico, health clinics and security then why would there be a need for illegal aliens to invade our areas?  Use the issue of providing the assistance directly where it is needed.  We see a problem at our southern border because of the poor conditions.  Boarder fence, deporting is a vicious cycle that is not working.
