| Grand Canyon, Arizona. The canyon, created by the Colorado River over 6 million years, is 277 miles (446 km) long, ranges in width from 4 to 18 miles (6.4 to 24 kilometers), and attains a depth of more than a mile (1.6 km). Arizona, USA. (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
Many times people are simply leaving their country because the leaders of that society has very little chance of ever working to upgrade a person social stature.There wont be any chance to get married,and have children that can do anything but replace you in the workforce for the next generations Pions.
The children will grow up realizing that they wont be able to get an basic education,go to college.Maybe return to help mom and dad to move up in life.Without a decent education,those children will simply fall into place as the new Pions.The new manual laborers to work thru their whole lives with nothing more than their ancestors.This is a strong motivational factor to cross another countries borders illegally.To breathe the air of hope.
I am speaking most of a country that intentionally keeps the majority of population poor and cycling through life as described above.These days there is drug cartels are killing people for sport(so it seems).The police have been reported by news agencies for being corrupted and involved with the gangsters.Ask yourself, would you want to stay in such a violent and misguided country?Would you really want to raise your kids without any chance to even try to be better than you had in life?
The Mexican people that cross into the USA risk loosing everything to the chance to raise their children in the opportunities provided in the USA.This is not a unique situation on this earth.Is one I have seen closer up than others situations.I have seen the cat and mouse games at the border of Texas and Arizona.
If you think these folks hate their country,You are sadly mistaken.They love Mexico as much as folks in their own countries love their own country.It's the lure of a better life.The thing that we in the USA seem to take for granted.We are all descended from immigrants.(Native Americans are still debatable by some).
We grant ourselves to the pursuit of happiness.but not to anyone else.We grant ourselves due process,but deny that same thing to others.
These people can spend a life savings to pay a coyote(nefarious person saying they know a way crossed the border for payment,illegally).They,then will be left to abandonment if the authorities show up.The already overworked,underpaid border guards have their hands full just trying to keep up.and the coyotes have no problem killing border guards or illegals crossing the vast and empty desert.The bodies left there in the middle of nowhere are often and many each year.
It would seem that if the folks were already here and living in peace,that natural citizens would put them to good use.I will suggest an idea at this blogs end.
If the Mexican government were to actually improve the living conditions of the majority of folks,would the immigrant flow north suddenly reverse? Would these Mexican folks return to a country that they still love?
Why is It the United States can put huge political pressure on foreign countries thousands of miles away,but seem numb and impudent to a bordering country.Is it so very difficult to pick up the telephone and put some
of the political hot air in the Presidente's ear.We dump billions of American dollars into useless countries around the world that will never make an effort to even say thank you.Mexico for all it's problems have some really nice folks if your not hunting them like criminals.That is unless the pursuit of happiness is a crime if your not a member of Club American(members Only).
If I remember my history lessons,America imported the Chinese to build railroads,then decided they would ruin our pure ethnic race of Germans,French,Spanish etc.The Chinese were deported back to China where many were killed for leaving China.Then America decided the "Noble Redman" was not unlike the bugs under foot.Suitable for death camps/reservations.It Helped that the land they lived on was salable property.Then the canals needed building,so it was good place to bring those Irish drunks to build the mosquito infested swamp areas that were to become the canals to run commercial tug boats for the masses.
Many Irish workers died of yellow fever.
I am pointing these things out only to illustrate that we(people of the World) need to re evaluate the situation before we make any stupid historical/hysterical decisions.If we force the Mexican Government to improve the conditions of their people,the flow over the border will slow and reverse.When the living is good and safe for families, people stay put.This can be applied to most border surges/crossings and mass exodus situations.
When The civilized people are happy,there is no need to wander for improvements.
This is a wall to break down folks,Write the President to ask to apply pressure to this neighbor and make them put some order to the growing problem on behalf of the Mexican people.
For those that would say the jobs are short enough for legal citizens.I give you this suggestion.
Long ago President Eisenhower proposed to major ideas. A system of Highways to be called the interstate system. and a system of waterways to feed the wetlands water into the deserts.The Highways got built.From the huge forest fires and drought land areas. Obviously the water systems would now be helping to average out the destruction of those have(s) and the have not(s).How about a volunteer signup to anyone including Illegal Mexicans,Chinese,Slobolvians or anyone else who wishes to help develope and build this system.
Anyone that signs up must stay till it's done and would be given citizenship as a reward for their efforts.
To sweeten the pot,families would be given full workmens benefits.The System would contribute to the economy&Put illegals to work legally.It would also begin the folks assimilation into a different culture.
It is only and Idea,but it beats the attempted exiling of a million people that already are here. Which in all reality just isn't practical or even workable.We need the water system an we need to give the new citizens a
chance become the citizens they dreamed of being.
We are all immigrants to this land,be it new or 5th generation..But we are all residents of this world..
Think about my friends its a chance to do things historically right.
Till next time remeber that even a prisoner is free if he still has his will and visions,
