There are many immigration issues continually being addressed, but one issue that is on the front-line is the issue of border control and security. In order to make changes within the issue of immigration you must first reveal the problem; as with this situation the problem begins with how easy it is for so many Mexicans to make their way across the southern border of the United States. The problem is not just about Mexicans escaping to find new residence, but also the issues with drugs being smuggled across the border fueling the already out of control pandemic of drug abuse we suffer on a day to day basis along with continued human trafficking. Border control is not receiving the priority that it should even though Obama has stated that he is committed to fixing this problem. Securing our borders should be a priority, not just an inconvenience and addressed at convenience! Congress can not agree on the issue and there are many differentiating opinions in the legislature on how to correct this problem. Although border crossings may have been cut, there are more than 12 million illegal immigrants in America presenting even larger issues and concerns for actual citizens for decades to come. Donald Trump raises three really important statements regarding the illegal immigrant issue. A nation without borders is not a nation. A nation without laws (enforced) is not a nation. A nation that does not serve its own citizens is not a nation.What will it ultimately take to secure our borders and preserve our nation?
"When I took office, I committed to fixing this broken immigration system. And I began by doing what I could to secure our borders. Today, we have more agents and technology deployed to secure our southern border than at any time in our history. And over the past six years, illegal border crossings have been cut by more than half."
