The Invasion of Migrants at our Southern Border

As the word gets around, the gates are open and if the issue is not addressed properly, it's only going to get much dire.

We’re having issues at the Southern Border. Pointing fingers and assigning blame will never fix the problem.

We need to go to the roots, find out why it is happening, and start from there.

The US has a history of interfering in the social fabric of these countries whose populations are now knocking on our doors. We have manipulated elections; promoted regime change, and before the turn of the century, supported oppressive juntas that didn’t show much humanity, to put it lightly.

That was South America. But the same story plus outright war goes for the ME, starting with Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, and Syria of late. Some African States also suffered from American intervention. These are undeniable facts and here we have the inevitable consequences.

A wise man once said:

“As you sow, so shall you reap”

Maybe, we should look inward.

If everyone is welcome, how come some are allowed to come in, some have to sneak in, and whoever opts for the legal avenue, must wait in limbo for years. A blatant oxymoron…

Which is it? We can’t have it both ways. Photo by Mitchel Lensink on Unsplash
