Immigration & Border Security

Today, the debate on Immigration and Border Security is on-going in the United States Senate and even in the House of Congress.

Politicians on Capital Hill will step forward and present their viewspoints and opinions, pro and con, with documents, charts, data and material to prove how right their presentation is, while other voices will step forward and claim how wrong it is.

Border Security must first begin at the Canadian Border if this issue is so vital and important. Aren't there closer routes of traffic from Canada to Washington, D.C.? Isn't there more available unknown routes into the United States along the Canadian Border?

People, if Immigration and Border Security is so vital and important, then why isn't more strict attention being made to the Candadian Border, the Eastern Seaports or the Western Seaports? Why is all direct attention being accomplished to only Mexico? Plus, aren't there historical documents that indicate that for years Cubans used the shoreline of Florida to illegally gain entrance into America and are still using that shoreline today for illegal entry into America?

Yes, Migrant Farm Workers, Seasonal Workers and other people seeking employment in these United States come from Mexico, many of them come by way of legal entry. And before I go on, just let me say this, the pay, working conditions, health, housing and other humanity needs for these Migrant Works has improved, but the prejudice has not and the human factor's are not up to date as they should be.

Why would I make such a statement? Simple, I have worked in the grape fields, I have worked in the tomato fields along side of these Migrant Workers and know first hand in some manner how poorly this country has treated even those who have come to work in America legally.

What is not being related in this debate, is how Corporate America hires groups, organizations or individuals to arrange the smuggling and transportation of Migrant Workers out of Mexico, because at times, Corporation or Industries need urgent emplooyees to get a job done and sometimes that work is the type of work that most American's do not want to get paid for, because most Americans believe it can be done by someone of a lower standard, often claiming the Mexicans can do it.

So you see, now again, as so many times in the past, the blame for Illegal Immigrants from Mexico is being blamed just on the Government and Citizens of Mexico, that is a serious Prejudice, a form of Discrimination against a people and their country.

If Illegal Immigration and Border Security is to be accomplished through "The War on Terror", then let the debate reflect those principles and the direction be turned to Securing "All Borders" of these United States and not just Mexico, that is poor judgement and bias politic's.

Contact your Federal Representative today, especially your Senator and tell them to speak the truth and demand equal justice be advocated for "All Borders" of these United States.

The Indian/Hispanic people of Mexico are being treated unfairly in this issue and debate surrounding Illegal Immigration and Border Security.
