The article that I just read talks about a problem of the past that I can link to the current day. What it outlines was the immigration crisis that the US was facing during the period that Dwight D. Eisenhower was president. The problem was that there were up to three million illegals from Mexico alone seeking work in the southwest. It was also estimated that up to one million illegal immigrants were crossing the border every year. Ike did what any good republican would. He expanded the Border Patrol service to 1,075 men and the problem was quickly solved. Sound familiar does it?

Well it is. Today the US border with Mexico is practically an open one. Bush is doing nothing to stop it and the socialist in Democrats clothing, Nancy Pelosi, would like nothing more than to see every one who wants to come to this country in. This is a debate that may are passionate about because of the importance of our borders, language, and culture. As of today we are at a crossroads. One road leads us down the two official language, amalgamation of the south and Mexico. The other is a crackdown on illegal border crossings and taking America back. Hopefully we can learn from the example that Eisenhower set for us.
