The government of the United States uses increasingly heightened security measures in an attempt to pacify the border between Mexico and the United States. The evolving methods of border control remind me of the infamous Berlin Wall. Instead of controlling the border, our government seems content to construct a barrier between Mexico and the United States.
Immigrants typically migrate to the United States to escape unbearable poverty.
They also seek economic security. Immigrants are a problem in American cities because they tend to live in the same area, creating an economic burden for the local governments. Unfortunately, these local governments bear the burden of covering any medical, welfare or educational needs of illegal immigrants. Proposition 187 makes many incorrect assumptions about immigrants reasons for leaving Mexico. Immigrants also come to America for better living housing and living conditions.
