Trivium - Crusade What kind of border should there be between the U.S. and Mexico?
Should we just stop monitoring it altogether? (Remember, there are large well armed private armies who've setup shop just south of the border, and are looking to expand their territory.) These same armies are the ones who popularized the word "CHEESE" in elementary schools around here last year.
1.Border control is a security issue
2.Border control is not an immigration issue
3.The government is responsible to enforce the border
When the US-Mexico Border is discusses, "the Wall" is quickly mentioned. Nobody in government has seriously tried to build or fund WALL lik in China, but at the same time to suggest that there doesn't need to be a fenced border is about as nonsensical. You put up borders and watch who's coming and going to keep the bad guys out and to keep the bad guys in our country from getting away from justice. This isn't a new idea here in the south of the US. It's pretty standard along most borders in the world. It makes the borders safer. Today, The associated press reports that border control agents are attacked less than half as often in areas where the border is properly fenced.
Border control should be about that, not about immigration. Border control in this country IS about that (keeping the bad guys out/bad guys from getting away), and not about immigration. The U.S. Government has two different groups assigned for Border control CBP.gov and immigration services (uscis.gov). Immigration officers are not located along the border, but well within the countries of most sending nations. There is immigration from Mexico every day, but it doesn't happen by jumping the fence or swimming the river. People who come into the country without permission are NOT immigrants. Immigration is the act of applying for and receiving permission to permanently move from one place to another.
Mixing border control and immigration up is a dangerous walk toward losing sovereignty over the land. The constitution clearly places the responsibility to defend the borders on the president. IF the Congress votes and enacts looser immigration laws, we should enforce a looser law. disregard of laws for the sake of making one's own pockets fatter is illegal and does not represent the will of the people.
There are political refugees who arrive here without written permission and are handled justly by our current system.
however, people who come here just to make money or to better there own pockets are breaking not only american but in most cases their own country's laws by coming here without permission. Breaking any law to make money should be aggressively enforced.
The executives in office who swore to uphold the laws of the land but are currently disregarding many of the imigration laws are criminally liable for their inaction. There should be enforcement against the administration for allowing the policies that are in place.
