  • The Denial to people crossing the border is wrong !

    The unfairness of not letting certain people cross the border just because they are considers aliens or immigrants is discrimination. The border crisis that deals with migration from other countries is something that we need to find a solution for. There’s a lot of things that people will never understand and that just means that we have to work harder in order to help them understand. One possible solution to this problem is coming together as a nation and have an agreement within who shall come and cross the border. In all reality, we are all distinct species. We all came from somewhere, so denying entrance to people that are human beings just like us into this era is really something we should not do.

    In the long run is a threat to the public and what we as people are supposed to represent in the living life that we walk every day. There are many people who go out to the so called aliens or immigrants countries and do not get judge, criticized, or looked down upon. Shall this not be a free world? Right after 9/11 happened the government really started to “secure” their world, and started to come after every religion, immigrants, aliens, and believed that any one was consider a terrorist. Based on this event, this lead to the denial of letting these people come into our country.

    We as the people that live in this society should do a call for a protest in order to open the eyes of the government and make them see that we are not here to play. We want these people to have access to the United States of America. Who we are as “the people” if we are not making things aware out in the streets and in the open to the eyes of the truth. The border crisis of this problem is something that should be looked upon because we shouldn’t have to judge everyone that is from a different country as people that are going to do harm in our society.

    • Dear Shakira,

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts on borders and what it means to “secure” our safety. I wanted to hear more about what solution would rectify what particular border crisis. You reference 9/11. Does this mean you are referring to our American borders? You also mention people not understanding the people who are crossing these borders, which people? Are you implying education as a solution to this crisis? Specifics would help assist us all in getting behind your cause!
