The main issue of Immigration lies with the fact that one of the federal
government’s core responsibilities is to control our borders and determine
who enters the United States. Regrettably, the government has consistently
failed at this, leading to today’s untenable situation with over 11 million
individuals unlawfully present in the U.S. Not only does the border remain
unsecured, but also the government has failed to reform its broken visa
system to ensure that those who come to the U.S. on a temporary visa do not
stay here permanently. As a country we need to enhance bordersecurity.
Unmanned aerial support(cameras and sensors)would help enhance border
patrol officer capability. Also negotiations among United States border
patrol and Mexican borderpatrol would help the efforts to stop illegal
immigration. The country needs to enforce their immigration law and inform
state police offices about immigration laws so that they can become aware of
stopping illegal immigration. The theory that once you get in you can get by
and stay in needs to go. Once their visas run out then the there should be a
notification to government offices to get them out. Funding for these things
needs to be increased but if we want to start on immigration reform then it
will have to start at the border.
