Up to 12 million people in the United States are here through unlawful entry. Building a barrier to close off the border is not a cheap investment but the results will be priceless. An increased quality of life for the citizens of the U.S. will be granted if a fence is built on the border between Mexico and the United States. Improved safety, minimized crime, and better workforce are only a few of the many reasons the border should be closed. Control of our borders is required for national…

My fight for immigration reform began in the sixth grade with the arrival of my best friend Judith and her family from Mexico. They have exposed me to a new, hardworking culture that does not get its due credit from media and politicians. The injustice these remarkable people face not only sparked a fire in myself but my entire family. My Father Dan Aldridge, a lawyer licensed to practice in both Alabama and Tennessee, would soon become well acquainted with a good friend of Judith’s family. Juan…

Obama on a last effort to elevate the issue, issued an executive order to help pass the act.
