A More Rational Way of Thinking

We started by building a wall, separating ourselves from our neighboring country and affirming our hostility against Mexico and change. Just like the Great Wall of China, which was discontinuous, it allowed places for the Mongol invaders to breach therefore deeming it unsuccessful and eventually abandoned it, America's wall is not unassailable. Rather than dealing with the problem in a humane manner, Americans chose to bottle the American dream. Unfortunately, we vote through fear, but who could honestly blame us for using a cognitive behavior that has been ingrained in our minds, just as language has. Fear of what though? Fear that Anglo Americans would no longer be the major demographic that makes up the United States, or fear that incorporating a large number of the Hispanic population would jeopardize our jobs, housing, political ideology, therefore changing congress and challenging the disproportionally recognized white incumbents. Fortunately for Americans, someone among our congress, was thinking "free of emotion"and thought about a logical way to control the overwhelming number of illegal immigrants. while some people could argue that this would encourage immigrants without naturalization rights to drive without licences, therefor all so driving without insurance, most other states as well as countries, do not offer drivers licences or id cards until they are fully aware of who they are issuing it to. Texas has been very accommodating to immigrants, especially to people that come from our bordering nation, Mexico, so maybe its about time that we take care of ourselves before taking care of everyone else. Honest and morally sound people except that laws are set in place because they protect the liberties of each individual. This being said, then those who chose to violate it should be persecuted accordingly, but hopefully it will cut the amount of illegals that jeopardize the liberties of people who rightly deserve them. so instead of biulding a wall, Texas is thinking on a more local level. What good is a wall if it is not solid? No where near as good as the laws which our country is governed on.
