While I do understand we need to control our borders, it seems to me to be counterproductive to worry quite so much about Hispanic immigrants.

A lot of Mexicans would probably be happy to go back and forth over the border to do seasonal work and then go back to their families, who wouldn’t also have to move up here to stay together.

Folks who get it together to travel thousands of miles-often with their children, probably have the kind of initiative and determination that might make them very good citizens.

I do wish there was something we could do to help Mexico and the Central American countries become better places for their own citizens.
