There is a major problem that Washington and the Bush administration is either reluctant and/or unwilling to deal with. The problem at hand is illegal immigration. Wave after wave enter this country illegally every day. This is a serious problem that needs an intense and progressive solution to solve this problem.
I am not against people coming to this country with dreams in their hearts and hope in their eyes wanting a better life. I just wish that they would do these things the legal and just way. The US Border Patrol is seriously undermanned and underfunded. They need all the help that they can get from the government and concerned citizens.
I have enlight of this situation figured out a solution that work with so many immigrants years ago. Fund the creation of facilites that are like Ellis Island and place these facilities every hundred or so mile along the border. At these facilities immigrants are processed, provided with food and shelter, given free dental and medical treatment, free job counseling by represantives of the government and private sector, and ulitimately once they leave this "Ellis Island" like facilities they are granted expidited citizenship.
I think that this idea will work and will allow these immigrants to become productive citizens of our society. Also this will be good for national security by being a deterent for would-be terrorists from entering our country.

The problem is that it is easier to sneek accross the border than to pay the ransom to come legally.
Monica's been trying to get her visa for over six months.
I agree, there has to be a better system. Maybe yours would work?
Glad to see you blogging again,
have fun with B and K.
New Mexico and Arizona have alotted over a million dollars to help with the problems along the border. People in California want their governor to do the same but he doesn't see it. Texas is having all kinds of trouble in Lardo. The biggest problem is how many are dying the way they are trying to come over now.
