The Migration Problem

Migration is a fact of life. Economies run, employment shortages in skills-level are filled up in migration. While, all of us disagree with ILLEGAL migration, we should think that the problem with this illegal entry to borders is NOT the sole fault of the illegal migrants

First, these illegal migrants only want to secure jobs (only jobs NOT drug-trafficking or any other human crime), they want to seek greener pastures like all of us. They want to feed their families, which their country or place cannot obviously provide. Perhaps, some people think so negative about migration because they have never lived in a "developing country" where opportunities are scarce or few.

The question here is, the illegal migrants cannot keep on coming, but are the borders REALLY SECURED? The problem is a two-coined situation. The attitude of the illegal migrants and the loopholes of the border security and immigration laws and processes of the receiving state. It is only fair that while many people rant over the illegal migrants crossing borders they should also pressure their government to make the borders as sturdy and high as they can.

USA, has spent millions (or even billions of dollars) in humanitarian aid, in war in Iraq, in various international concerns. Why not secure the borders in whole USA? The USA, being the only super-power left in the world, one of the richest nation in the globe, can SURELY make a way to secure the borders with their vast intelligence and sophisticated arms, and advanced technology.

IF they can send men to the moon and robotic explorers to MARS why not spend so much to secure their borders?
