Through this emphasis, the audience realizes that with their power, both of the bordering nations can do the most to prevent more…

    According to a news report from CNN by Paul A. Reyes, the Obama administration has sent out a message to illegal Central American women and children in the U.S. that soon there will be plans to start a 30-day "surge" of immigration raids. These raids are targeted to families with criminal records or law violations.

The true crux of the problem with immigration reform is that it is generally focused on keeping people out of the United States; as opposed to welcoming them in due to the economic needs of our country.…

For years, these DREAMERs have been forcing the Congress to pass the DREAM Act (acronym for Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors), which especially would allow these young undocumented immigrants the legal right to stay in the United States.
