Will there ever be a solution?

I completely agree with my classmate, Sara, that the government needs to heavily crackdown on border patrol between Mexico and the United States in her blog Border Security. But what's the solution, or a solution?


She brings up good points, the new law in Arizona allowing the government to racial profile essentially, and also about the American family who was fully within their rights being completely violated on their own land. The focus in Arizona is to aid in border security and protect our country, but it's so controversial, and hardly compassionate (which is something that I feel everyone should be regardless of who you are and where you come from and what you believe). So, this is a proposed solution, but just how functional is it? 


We spend so much money on wars, but it seems we forget about this war right here in our own country! Is it because Washington D.C. is 2000 miles away? How would the Mexican drug cartel and illegal immigrants be handled differently if it was in our country's leaders' backyards instead of ours? This topic is so familiar and so popular there is a television show about it now. I can't even watch it. It makes me sad, and scared--for them, for us, for the future of humanity. 


Obviously (by my rants), Sara's work got a point across to the audience, that this is important. I do wish, however, that she stated her idea of a solution. My idea may seem really silly, but many of techniques used in America to handle and proportion our nation's priorities are, too. I think that instead of 2012 Presidential hopefuls spending millions on campaigning, they should donate half of it to finding a better solution on the border. That would be a lot more impressive than any speech, fancy suit, killing flies, or trying to humble Americans by telling the stories of average Joes. 


And, if not that, then maybe they could at least be truthful about our border security and illegal immigration, instead of worrying about how many votes they will or will not get because they see a light at the end of the tunnel.
