I’m somewhat in the fence about immigration. Mostly, because I simply don’t understand the intricacies involved. However,  the human person in me, has a aching heart for all these children being sent parentless.  across the border. Encamping them or sending them back seems wrong. What else does a nation do with 50,000 children. 

I fully understand why people leave war torn or poverty lands for new and bountiful ones. Who doesn’t want to live in the land of opportunity? Who doesn’t want that for their children. 

Part of me thinks that it should be done the right way and the other part of me knows that it may not always be the most viable option for desperate people. 

As a grandchild of Irish immigrants, I know the beauty and value of becoming an American citizen, for those looking for a life unencumbered by poverty. America is where dreams come true.
