I have some good friends who are Hispanic by birth linage  and some of them have been in America for many years, them and their parents and their parents before them. All of them are ideal citizens of the United States of America, working and paying their fair share of taxes. You could not ask for a better buddy or better friends anywhere. So, sometimes when we start talking about illegals, we may be talking about some of their kin or friends. I would never want to do or say anything to hurt any of those guys and I hope they know that. I have not been as careful as I should be in guarding my remarks just to keep down any misunderstanding between them and me. That said, at some point in time we as a nation are going to have to face the fact that we are broke. Yeah, I know, we are still spending money like there is no tomorrow simply because we can print it as fast as we can spend it. (My great grand children are already in debt and they are not out of grammar school yet.) And building a wall is not a pleasant thought. But some changes have to be made. One such change is being a citizen of another country and having a child born here in this country, that in and of itself should not  constitute as citizenship. And two, we could have long term visa’s or green cards to keep people here for long periods of time if they are green card holders in good standings. After five years or so, the process could be gone through again. Three, famers or ranchers who need long term help could also sign for them (individualy or in groups) and keep the federal government advised to their need for them year after year, naming the ones working each year. And there are probably plenty of other points that could be made to improve our system of workers or students…….But something needs to be done about having a wide open border, due to incoming drug trafficking, sex trafficking, human exploitation, beefing up the democratic voting rolls and  just plain old sneaking across the border….I do not know the cost of healthcare, welfare and living assistance we pay out to or for illegals, but any is too much when our own people are so needy.   It is a terrible problem for many now, but American’s from all political parties will one day have to come to terms with our southern border and the problems in not addressing these issues.
