A more enlightened approach to immigration is needed in the US
DEAR EDITOR,
The issue of illegal immigrants entering the United States of America is nothing new. What is new is the increasing number of children, some who could be considered toddlers crossing the borders from Mexico and several other Central American countries including Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.
Sadly, these children apart from the humiliation and risk to which they are being exposed are now being made political scapegoats by those especially from the Republican camp who see illegal immigrants as a burden on taxpayers and who resent any attempt to grant these unfortunate children entry into the United States.
What is conveniently forgotten is the fact that the very foundations of a strong economy in the United States were laid by immigrants who came from Europe and, for that matter, all parts of the world.
What is needed is a more enlightened approach to immigration in the United States which has a responsibility and an obligation to open its borders to the wider global community and in the process give effect to a world without borders, one in which the free development of one will be a condition for the free development of all.
