Beyond Mexico

    America's immigration problem recently has been a star in the presidential campaign. There has been media portraying racism among political candidates. There is a picture that has been painted in America that makes Mexico look like the bad guy. Presidential candidate, Donald Trump, has been compared to Hitler or Stalin with his immigration policy arising. Media has made it seem as though we hate Mexico, and they are where all the immigrants are coming from. The truth of the matter is that they only make up a small portion of illegal immigrants in the U.S.. Our neighboring country to the south is a mere sliver of our immigration policy. Studies show that 13 percent of illegal immigrants are Asian. The problem does not just lie within Mexico and their illegal border jumpers. It has to do with all races trying to illegally integrate themselves into the country. These people are overstaying their welcome and are having an impact on the economy. There is some symbolic gain in building a wall, but action must be taken beyond our Mexican borders.
