Working on the Border

This weeks chapter reminds me of  my time in the Army. For a three month period I was deployed to the US-Mexico border to help build a road and  bridge over the Rio Grande. We lived in the desert in and around Eagle pass Texas and El Indio Mexico. The border there was just as they say in the article; almost nonexistent, or completely figurative really, and very lightly guarded. The article I am attaching sites ridicules figures that the United States government is throwing at the border "problem". This is in my opinion a waste of resources. This country was and still is made and carried on the backs of immigrants and really all of our families were  at one point immigrants. The administration needs to get off its ass and make immigration reform a real priority and stop wasting my money. You can access the article here and make your own dicision: Aljazeera
