Speech #1100102059

So our borders remain unsafe and insecure. Securing our borders is a catchy political phrase. a sound bite guaranteed to get on the evening news. And 99 percent of the time. it Is used in reference to our southern borders. Stories run with pictures of immigrants crossing the United StatesMexico border as politicians lament about the dangers these immigrants pose. those who would be gardeners. nannies. busboys. and maids. It is as if no one remembers that this country has a northern border as well. a porous border that represents just as many problems and dangers. Today. I hope that will change.
