Today Morris's prediction is looking good, as Rick Perry has sent the National Guard to protect the Texas border to prevent any more immigrants from trying to illegally cross in the hopes that they can get amnesty.
A while back Barack Obama made an executive order that families with children in America may come to the United States to be with their familes. He is likewise trying encourage Congress to pass laws giving illegal immigrants amnesty. This has basically encouraged unhappy Mexicans to illegally cross into America, or at least send their children this way in the hopes they'll be able to join them later.
It's been estimated that over 250 children are crossing the border every day. Many states are very concerned, petitioning the president to put a stop to this, as they cannot afford to house, school and provide healthcare for all these illegal children.
The influx become so pandemic it's scary right now to be an American. Yet Obama does not see it as a crisis. His response is to say "I'll look into it" or "it's the republicans fault because they voted against my immigration reform."
Of course former President George Bush is not off the hook either, as he was encouraged to put troops on the border to prevent such a crisis from occurring, and he didn't so either.
I think both Bush, and now Obama, do not put troops on the border because both of them fear that doing such a thing would cause Spanish Americans to prefer the other party. Of course, by looking at trends, most of the people crossing the border are uneducated, and most likely to vote democrat regardless.
Both also did so under the guise that American has always been a state of open borders, something that is not true.
In fact, most people do not know this, but between 1924 to 1965 we shut down immigration. We closed the borders so that those who had arrived could assimilate and become American, which they wanted to do, by the way. They learned English. They became accustomed to American holidays. They wanted to become Americans.
Today we don't even ask that those who cross our borders assimilate. This was good, because America is better when we are one united nation (a melting pot) as opposed to a divided nation (a salad bowl). United we can conquer any problem, although divided we fall.
Rick Perry looks good by sending troops to the border. His move looks even better when you consider that a recent poll shows that greater than 70 percent of Americans believe we should secure our border and send illegal immigrants back home.
