"When Mexico sends its people," Trump said during his presidential announcement, "they're not sending the best. They're not sending you, they're sending people that have lots of problems and they're bringing those problems. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime. They're rapists and some, I assume, are good people, but I speak to border guards and they're telling us what we're getting."
Trump's statement went viral and the PC Mob is ruling the streets looking to lynch the Donald and anyone near him. In this case Trump speaks the truth. Listen to his statement. He never says Mexican people are criminals and rapist.
The mob mentality seems to have blinded America. The Mexican government and several other countries are providing aide to segments of their population to cross the US border.We are naive and ignorant if we believe otherwise.
The governments are not alone. There are organizations, corporations and politicians providing legal and financial support to bring as many immigrants as possible. Their motivations are unclear but one can speculate for the countries of origin a decrease in welfare expenditures and a reduction in jail populations. On this side of the border political gain can be achieved by increasing a political base.
This tactic was originally engineered by Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. Castro sent prisoners, drug addicts and mentally ill people to the US. This over emotional backlash against Trump shows a fault in Americans ability to face reality. The governments of Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and others have followed Castro's model. Each of these countries provide some level of support for their citizens to cross illegally into the United States.
In 2014 more than 7000 unaccompanied children under 12 were apprehended crossing the border. (How many were not apprehended?) The media and our politicians think we are so stupid we believe 7000 kids 1500 miles away woke up one cheery day and decided to leave their homes and walk to the United States. Although Trumps statement is crude his message is not far from the truth?
The southern neighboring governments are not going to allow their brightest, most educated and wealthy citizens to illegally cross our border. They are going to send the uneducated, the poor, the criminals and the sick.
There is another side Trump did not mention. A darker side the we must courageously address. Parts of Mexico, the Mexican government and the US border are controlled by drug cartels. On both sides of the border, elected officials, law enforcement and military are powerless to do anything. Drugs, weapons and people are smuggled across the border daily. A fence alone will not stop this illegal and very profitable trafficking.
The United States is the greatest country in the history of mankind because she provides opportunity to all people. Throughout our history, the people who have been repressed and abused by their own governments come to the United States and achieve incredible success. And their success further improves our nation as a whole. It is imperative that our immigration laws are firm, fair and executed.
America must get over this feigned shock and outrage over Trump's statement. Its time to look at the realities of our immigration situation. Perhaps then we can identify the people desperately trying to hide the truth and shame anyone who has the audacity to mention it. For it is these people who threaten our security and future as a nation. Our immigration laws have been twisted and manipulated to the point they now resemble our IRS code. We need just and modern immigration reform. Before we begin we must take off the rosy colored glasses so we can see the real immigration crises. Only then can we begin a rational endeavor to reform these laws to provide opportunity and protection of all United States citizens present and future.
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

The United States is great because it is a country that allows its individuals to become great. Castro sent us his people during the Mariel Boat-lift crisis. Many of those Cubans became successful prosperous citizens of the United States.. It is estimated that 10-20% were deliberately chosen by Castro because of their criminal background or mental illnesses. It was a difficult transition not only for the refugees but their new neighborhoods as well. Violent crime spiked, the drug trade prospered and a strain was placed on the communities as they tried to provide needed social services.
We need to But the immigration laws were were designed to protect and provide for the people not the politicians.
