There is a big difference between Migrant and Immigrant! You will never solve a problem if you can not properly identify it.
The MSM keeps calling the Mexicans 'Illegal Immigrants.' That is the wrong term. They are MIGRANTS, just as Robins are migratory birds. These people have no interest in staying and putting down roots. They come here for the MONEY. They take it or send it to their *home.*
If a person wants to Immigrate to this Country and adopt our National values and language, I can accept that. If they want to Migrate here to harvest the crops, I bet that can be worked out, too. But the problem will never be solved if the ones arguing the issues do not even use the correct terminology.
Am I the only person who sees things this way?

They were "migrants" when all they did was to pick fruit and vegetables.
Now they are doing construction work and many other jobs that don't require them to "migrate" all over the country.
Many fruit and vegetable picking jobs are now done by machine. We don't need nearly as many "migrants" to pick crops anymore.
So why are so many more of them here now?
What part of that don't you understand?
