this is a political post.
All voting shenanigans aside, how do we deal with our border crisis? My biggest issue with border problems is that politicians are only looking at it from one side. We need to control immigration, but the border is not the main source of our problems. The data shows that we have people coming in the country LEGALLY but they do not leave when their green cards or other forms of ID expire.
Also, companies profit off of cheap labor. "They do jobs Americans won't do" is a tired excuse. The truth is "they do jobs Americans won't do at the low wages and lack of benefits we offer". This is looked at as a good thing? Its exploitative and needs to be called out. Businesses should be held legally liable for using foreign workers that are undocumented.
I have no problems with a physical barrier on the American Mexican border. However we need to make sure the border we currently have is properly staffed and surveillance technology is being used. Make the border at least 15 feet tall, wire barbed wire on the top. Sniper towers should be spaced out every 50 miles. A border with specific choke points would be the best way to address this. The border should be a combined effort between states and fed government. Feds pay the full cost of the border but states pay for staffing and other personnel.
