The only immigration plan

    In the past there have notably been many political thoughts on stopping immigration. They claim to turn to hard enforcement and get in done now. Obviously it has become a prominent issue in today's debate. It has always been present, but seems to have evaded prosecution. There are some 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States today. This posing threat has taken its toll on the economy and America's hard working individuals. Presidents and candidates claim to make it a priority. They make statements saying they will build walls and deport these people in mass quantities. It has yet taken full effect, and even though their statements are hopeful they seem to turn at some point. The immigration problem is used to obtain votes, and to get into office. Then in office it pose as a serious goal for a brief period then die down to nothing but a thought. Why is it such a hard thing to do? Even hard asses, like Donald Trump, seem to change their stance the further they go. His has lightened slightly, but his plan still remains. If he is elected into office he claims that we will build a wall. If this task can be pulled off I would greatly welcome him into office. I consider my sanity at times choosing either of the current candidates, but I want to see some action. 
    Countries like Israel have experienced a decline in terrorist attacks since the building of their wall. The construction of the triple fence, outside of San Diego, has shown a 90 percent reduction in infiltration. Walls are symbolic. They seem to make a statement saying keep out we mean business. The solution seems to be simple. Keep illegal immigrants out, and deal with the ones that are already inside. The debate seems to arise from the democratic party about what we must do with the 11 some odd million people that are already here. Hillary takes a stand to embrace and take care of these unfortunate souls. Let them come and we will embrace. There was a thought about adopting Reagan's solution, and close our borders and integrate these people. Back in those days there were only about 3 million, and now we have 11. For me that is too many. We cannot let this slide like its nothing. 
     The ones entering our country seem to be rotten. Law abiding citizens would most likely want to stay in their home country to make it better. The unruly and troubled would want to leave and go towards different countries. Not all may be bad people but misinformed. There is a problem with any type of illegal immigration,and it must be dealt with. I don't think that ridding the entire country of illegal immigrants will benefit us entirely. I think that immigration must be monitored and must fluctuate with the current economy. In other words we should consider having a steady amount of immigrants. Work visas should be easily obtained, but deportation a threat. 
    There is no reason this topic has been danced around and milked for years. It is an internal problem that affects our whole country. There is a solution. We must grit our teeth as a united country and agree to take care of this. Lets not leave it up for discussion anymore. I want to see something happen.
