Part 1. The Border

  Between North America and the country of Mexico, there is a border. A border our government refuses to secure. Illegal immigrants will cross onto our land from one plagued with drug cartels. As much as our land may be more desirable to Mexicans, they should not be crossing illegally. They need to follow our laws or be faced with deportation. Well, our government does not seem to care, let alone be willing to give notice to it. Why is this? Why does the leadership bound by law not support it?
  I believe it is because of what those immigrants have been brought to believe in their culture. In this country, there is an idea that the government is run by the people and for the people. However, most Mexicans believe the opposite. Well, with that mind set, the current leadership will make it so that they can get their vote in the presidential elections, etc. Thus giving the government more power to do what they want. After all, why would they secure the border when there are people who can support them in their agenda?
  This leads to another topic of equal importance. If this government is bound by law, why aren't certain parties being held accountable for their actions? The problem with our border is one consequence out of many that stems from a lack of accountability. Without accountability, you have plenty of breeding ground for lawlessness in many forms.
  In America our government is no longer a Republic. It is more of a Democracy falling for Socialism. Well, Mexicans, at least most, have grown up in the latter form of that government. So the leadership, with an agenda, will take advantage of that and use it to gain more political control.
  Furthermore, I have been reminded that the implementation of border security is affected by the government's budget cuts. This is a BIG problem. Until our government solves its massive spending problem, I don't think we will see the border properly secured.
