Prison gangs operate multi-billion dollar drug trafficking operations across our borders and Mexican border towns are filled with deported felons waiting to sneak back into America.
Honest and hard working Latinos build our houses, clean our hotel rooms, pick our produce and flip our burgers.
They need us and we need them.
What is being done to address this huge issue?
Political activists on both sides make the problem worse by their own fear, radical ideas, immature behavior and intimidation. Neither side is actively working together to find a common solution.
Is there a workable solution to this issue?
The two biggest political problems in America today are the war in Iraq and illegal immigration.
The upcoming 2008 Presidential election will shape these issues for years to come.
How much do you know about illegal immigration? There are over 11 million people living in the US illegally today. The majority comes from Latin America countries and few have high school educations.
Do they drain our schools, our hospitals, our prisons and our culture? Or are they the backbone of our labor force?
Every day, over 10,000 people risk their lives on a 3-day trek enduring blazing heat by day and freezing cold at night. Over 10,000 people have died crossing our border since 1996. The US Border Patrol is hampered by budget cuts and is only able to stop 25% of the cross border flow.
