U.S. Wives of deportees denied SENTRI
Many American women whose Mexican partners have been deported have moved to Mexico to keep their families together. Now, the wives complain of "Inhumane" wait times to regularly cross back into the U.S. And officials are denying them expedited crossing because of their spouses. Ref. Source 4v.
Hispanic population living in America growing at slowest rate on record, new report finds
Hispanic growth rate in the United States is the lowest since official record-keeping began nearly 50 years ago, according to a new report released Thursday by Pew Research Center. Two contributing factors are lower levels of legal and illegal immigration to the U.S. From Mexico and lower birth rates among Hispanics. Ref. USAToday.
School hit with anti-immigrant graffiti
Vandals tagged a Spanish-language immersion school in Northern California with graffiti bearing the anti-immigrant message “Build the wall higher” and references to Donald Trump. "This is going straight to little kids," the principal said. Ref. Source 3t.
That is one of the "Deplorable" that Hillary mentioned. We all have our political stances but going to a school to commit an illegal act to affect children is so wrong!
International Level: Politics 101 / Political Participation: 3 0.3%
This is a travesty. There has to be middle ground in this debate. This is why we need to protect our borders. The Government's number one job is to protect our citizens and in this case, and many like it, it failed. Not anyone can come in our country. We have immigration laws for a reason. If anyone could come in pell mell what prevents a terrorist from coming in carrying a vial of a biological agent intended to kill thousands? It's time to fix this mess. It's time for Republicans and Democrats to come together rather than grandstanding and do so.
Any way you look at this issue it is not going to be solved any time soon. To see news articles about some illegal immigrant that has done this or that is firing up those who want tighter border protection. Then on the other hand you have those who feel the illegal immigrants are preforming a service to us by doing jobs no one else wants to do.
This is a subject that both sides can get pretty heated about. I just hope that we do something to will help the citizens of this country feel better protected and safer because as long as people can come into this country with bad intentions in mind we are vulnerable.
