In the wake of Obama administration policies intended to encourage illegal immigration to the United States from Mexico and Central/South America, border agents are seeing more cases of known criminals from south of the border taking advantage of the easy access to America.
Border Patrol officials struggling to keep up with the increasing number of minors illegally crossing the Mexican border are not turning away persons with known gang affiliations. Chris Cabrera, vice president of the National Border Patrol Council Local 3307 in the Rio Grande Valley, explained that a Border Patrol agent he represents helped reunite a teenage gang member with his family in the United States. Cabrera notes the young member of Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13), a transnational criminal gang, had no criminal record in the U.S., but asks, “If he’s a confirmed gang member in his own country, why are we letting him in here?”“I’ve heard people come in and say, ‘You’re going to let me go, just like you let my mother go, just like you let my sister go. You’re going to let me go as well, and the government’s going to take care of us,’” Cabrera says. “Until we start mandatory detentions, mandatory removals, I don’t think anything is going to change. As a matter of fact, I think it’s going to get worse.”

The Merry-Go-Round Turns
Immigration Reform vs Immigration Amnesty
How many of you have attended an immigration court session for deportation? Probably almost none of you have sat through the proceedings. Before you finalize your opinions on these issues please let bring a few facts into the light. There is a difference in the following two headlines:
1) Support Immigration Reform and
2) Support Immigration Amnesty.
If we support Immigration Reform we are looking at changing the current method of how we are dealing with immigration. It doesn’t mean that we are just opening our borders. It may mean that we can better document how to handle our current problem with illegal aliens. Currently, when we find an illegal alien who doesn’t have a criminal record of violence we charge them, let them go on their own recognizance and most times never see them again. Even if they come back or we keep them in jail awaiting trial they are living better than what they ran away from. If we decide to deport, in most cases, we contact the country that they came from and ask them to pay to have the deportee shipped home. In most cases the country says “No, we do not want them. You keep them.” If the person has the money they can elect to pay for their own deportation. Most of these people crowd our jails indefinitely and we have to release them to make room for more. We have to REFORM this procedure. So reform can be good or bad. It must first be defined and the statement expanded to, Reform to What? So just referring or claiming to love or hate reform is silly. Any time we change a plan we are essentially reforming it.
On the other hand the President is trying to misdirect the country into voting against Republicans with using the statement that reform is bad. The President supports Immigration Amnesty. The President is allowing immigrants free reign to cross our borders into our country. The President is ordering the border patrol to protect the immigrants rather than protecting the border. The President secured 500,000 acres in New Mexico and isn’t telling us what it is for. Maybe it is an immigrant holding camp? The President is doing all this. The Democratic President is doing all this but the focus is being thrown onto the Republicans. WHY? One of the reasons is because most of the Republicans are not charismatic. They do not handle the press as well. They look like the scary uncle or grandfather that your mom told you not to be alone with. Many of the Democrats are better orators, better speakers and presenters. Both parties talk in circles and give little actual facts or clear statements.
My core point is that you shouldn’t be afraid of the word reform until the reform itself is defined clearly and completely. We should look at the current problems and realize that this country with all its problem and faults is a much better place for these immigrants to live than where they are coming from. We have to decide if we wish to keep them or pay for it ourselves to send them back. We have to find a way to document them so that if they try to come back that they do so with serious penalties that will make them not wish to return. If we decide to keep them and then stop the border crossings we have to make sure that we document them and that after maybe a probationary program that they are working and contributing to our society rather than being a burden as now many of them are. We cannot just sit on the invisible fence and do nothing. So reform is necessary but it must be a reform that betters us as a nation and as a people.
It should not turn us into a people landfill or turn Lady Liberty’s Promise of: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free. The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door.” Into a curse that we have all benefitted from and would condemn us as hypocrites to not welcome those who have come late to our party.
