How About Those Borders?

Did I write about this already? Since this is such a heated debate right now I thought I would join in!!! Arizona is wanting more regulation for their borders. First of all I would like to say, I would not want to be living in Arizona right now.

I was listening to a talk show in my car on the way to work and they were talking to a new American citizen who had just finished the legal avenue of joining us in America. She stated that the illegal Mexicans will stand out and protest with their children who are citizens holding flags of where they are from. This struck me as odd. If the place you left was so horrific that you had to sneak into our country, why would you even want to acknowledge that place let alone if you are wanting to stay in America then why would you not be waving an American flag????

Another issue I have is this. I understand wanting to better yourself or family! Why not do it legally? It is a process and yes it takes time but if you are an upstanding person who should be given the chance to better their way of life why not do it right? You sneak across the border, work illegally taking our jobs and end up with government benefits that most Americans can't even get because the system is stretched to thin. Do they realize or care that pretty soon this country may not be any better if they keep breaking the system?

This is a very touchy subject for almost everyone. Both sides taken into account! How do we find a way to help those seeking a better life while maintaining life for Americans who were already here? Where will we go if we want to improve our situation? There is no place. So why not find a way that will be of most benefit to both parties and maintain a standard of living for all involved?
