America is building a wall around its heart.

I have been to AP, Mexico. I saw children begging for money while drinking a can of beer! This breaks my heart. America is for a wall yet there are people suffering. America is the land of opportunity, why doesn't anyone take a stand for these people that are coming here for a better life. It is human nature to seek happiness. I am appalled at the mere suggestion of a wall! Mexico needs our help America! These people work harder than any American I have ever known. Can't we see the action as a c…

Why I am here

I suppose you can call me an idealist. I'm 28 years old and I still have hope. Amazing! Most people seem to lose hope when the twenties begin. Life is tough and if your not resilient it will strip you of your hopes and dreams. I still believe in MLK's I Have a Dream speech.

The Disasters of Border Crossing

Rosa Linda Fragoso


Piedad’s father was a border crosser who died the year she turned 15. She was watching television on the morning her uncles appeared with news of his death, and much later she would be tormented by the day of his return. “My father’s corpse arrived in a cardboard package tied with plastic bands, like a large addressed mail package.” He was one of those pilgrims Eduardo Galeano writes abo

INMIGRATION TYRANY

A popular argument among advocates of immigration controls is that a nation has a “right” to control its borders. The argument is based on the supposed “right” of the U.S. government to station gendarmes along its international borders, including on privately owned land, to prevent people from coming into the country illegally.

What the advocates of control never address, however, is a related situation: If the government has the “right” to prevent people from coming

Looking Forward

Mike Orshan challenged me to put something about what I am "looking for" here in this group. Here's some initial thoughts:

I have a home in the Bajio - the central highlands of Mexico. Our home is in Cueramaro, an agricultural area in the state of Guanajuato, near Irapuato and Leon. Because we are in the center of Mexico, we are within reach of many emerging business areas. We also have a home in Sacramento, California. I have worked in Mexico City and Morelia, Michoacan for various t…

Illegal immigration - USA and Mexico

Originally published October 18th, 2006 at Lee Iwan Accumulated Experience

Immigration control is a global challenge, and yet not one developed country has developed a good workable and acceptable legal immigration plan that eliminates illegal immigration.

Where are the immigrant groups ?

Where are the immigrant groups lobbying for a Constitutional immigration policy?

I see conservatives shouting to throw "foreigners" out of the country, and immigrants wanting amnesty with no cut in welfare. You can't have it both ways. Becky Ackers wrote in the Foundation for Economic Education what the Founders wanted - no immigration interference, but no welfare either.

All the Founders were worried about was "naturalizing" immigrants so they'd make good Americans. They were…
