If you watch any news you know a popular subject is immigration \u2013 illegal, or not. Recently, somewhere, I read that over 2,500 people are trying to enter the United States \u2013 most of them illegally \u2013 daily. I tried my best to find any documentation that would tell me what our government gives these people, but everything I found was so complicated that I gave up reading and trying to understand how our tax dollars are spent to support people who are leaving another country, coming here, and trying to make their lives better. The complicity of what I read during my research left me feeling that if I wanted to understand what immigrants (illegal, or otherwise) receive, it would take me hours and hours of reading \u2013 even then there\u2019s an extremely good chance I wouldn\u2019t understand it.<\/p>\n
This might be my opinion, but I feel there has to be some reason all these people make living here in the United States, their goal. There must be some information available to them that tells them this is where they need to go to be taken care of. I understand if they believe that living here has to be easier than where they came from, or are they just taking a chance?<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not sure why, or when, things got so complicated, but it seems that if it deals with anything coming from our government you will need a very analytical mind to figure out things that are defined by way more words than would be necessary to the average person.<\/p>\n
It doesn\u2019t take much reasoning to figure that those crossing our borders aren\u2019t just pushed into a corner and forgotten \u2013 they are fed, probably clothed, given necessary medical treatment, and given a place to sleep, until they enter some federal program designed to provide them the care they need.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s nearly impossible to catch them at the border and simply turn them around. Most of them, very likely, traveled by foot for days or paid outrageous amounts of money for a ride to the United States border, then left on their own \u2013 many as a family unit.<\/p>\n
For a long time, I\u2019ve wondered how long our government could continue to support the people wishing to come to America \u2013 again, illegal or not. But then I remembered our government isn\u2019t afraid to spend more money than they have. Feeling responsible for people coming to America, or providing money or equipment for other countries fighting wars \u2013 along with many other government programs \u2013 is why America has a nearly 35 trillion dollar debt, and it grows every second.<\/p>\n
Yet we can\u2019t just turn people away \u2013 or not provide for them.<\/p>\n
I have to admit, I was pleased to see states, like Florida, transporting illegal immigrants to other (politically driven) states to draw attention to the problem.<\/p>\n
