Whenever I watch news coverage of the "border" crisis I wonder why is it even a crisis?
The fact that certain people are fleeing their home countries because they are in danger or because they have no economic opportunity sounds a lot like the story of every immigrant who ever came here.
I suppose one could say it was a crisis for the Native Americans.
Still if we simply processed these people, checked their backgrounds and gave them temporary visas, we wouldn't have detention centers, families being separated or a crisis.
I gather some people in this country are concerned about how these immigrants are changing the face of America.
Of course so did every other group.
If we simply reemployed the same techniques we used in the 19th century we wouldn't have a crisis we would have new hardworking residents.
Is it really that hard?
