The Invisible Border

* America’s natural borders are crossed by people from other countries looking for a better life; escaping from dictatorships, poverty, and even death at the hands of rivalling groups fighting for control of their country.

* The history of immigrant skill sets in the United States shows that the immigrants have brought a variety of skills to the country; including technical, social, and cultural skills. These skills have contributed to the growth of the economy and the development of new industries.

* Immigrants crossed the borders legally and became a valued portion of America’s workforce; demonstrating a strong work ethic, and a desire to become an American citizen.

* Development of an indifferent attitude toward the Immigration Process, and increasing global tensions, resulted in more people entering the country; and an increase in the number of people being undocumented, resulting in Immigration becoming a major Political Football!

* The Invisible Border is not a Political Football! We actually encourage unskilled people to fill the most important jobs in America; their skill sets can not do the jobs we give them, and we pay them!

* Have you figured it out yet ? I’ll give you a hint; it starts with a and ends with GRESS! 

THE INVISIBLE BORDER IS CONGRESS! The unskilled members of Congress have caused more damage to America’s culture than any number of unskilled Immigrants could have!

* Remember, we voted them into the seats of Congress! There are no Education (Political Science) or Experience (Governing) requirements in the job requirements for the Members of Congress!

NO COMMON SENSE

ANALYZE THE EXAMPLE

* Which supports and barriers were in play?

* What were the dynamics?

* Who, or what, won the Tug-of-War?

* Discuss the outcome with your friends and family.

* Use Post #4 as a reference for the relationships and the dynamics between supports and barriers.
