Republicans are spazzing out over secure borders, as if their lives were at risk. They want to spend millions of dollars to build a giant fence across the 2,000 mile border the U.S. has with their poor southern neighbor, Mexico and South America.
Again, these legislators failing to identify the reason all these people are "invading" the north. It's basically like giant industries have gone and unleashed a fire hydrant that brings many riches to the U.S., but is drowning the people actually living there. Al these people want to do is live. If their livelihoods were given back, there would be absolutely no need to spend "$206 billion over five years to deport the estimated 11 million people living in the country illegally" according to an estimate done by the Center for American Progress. Chances are, the majority of these people would go back to their country of origin if diverse opportunities of livelihood were made available once again. Let's also keep in mind that "the U.S. has spent more than $4.5 billion to improve border security in the nine years since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks".
These millions of dollars could instead be spent in education! There's another article in the LA Times about the huge changes the 112 community college campuses are having to make due to budget cuts.
It's all about getting your priorities in order.
Today is an incredibly sunny day, hope it's a good one for all of you :)
MUCH LOVE!!!
