What the White House is saying

I was looking into Obamas website on his immigration reform polices. Once again like with any politicians his reform website is very positive but quite contradicting.  Obama states in one portion "We are the first nation to be founded for the sake of an idea—the idea that each of us deserves the chance to shape our own destiny. That’s why centuries of pioneers and immigrants have risked everything to come here…the future is ours to win. But to get there, we cannot stand still."

Sounds beautiful, and this is the exact speech that one Obama the election, he is amazing at speaking and making you feel like we are going to a place of rainbows and butterflies.  But unfortunately he contradicts this statement complexly by his action according to the same website

"Over the last three years, the Obama Administration has dedicated unprecedented resources to secure our borders, taken important steps to make our interior and worksite enforcement smarter and more effective"

What he means by securing our borders is detaining undocumented immigrants and ripping families apart.  So if what America was built on is this idea that everyone deserves a chance to improve their life why are we refusing them that right?  We can’t say that we are pro immigrant but anti illegal immigrant, it just does not work like that.  If we want to change the way immigration is preformed it should not be by spending billions of dollars on destroying peoples lives, it should rather be on figuring out a way for immigration to become less difficult, as well as expanding resources to foreign countries.  If we help Mexico, fewer will want to come the America, and isn’t that what we want?
