Immigration shimmigration

After reading BlackWhite Gov'Tx's blog I completely agree, the flaws in the Immigration system have been long over looked. According to Colorado Alliance for Immigration Reform an average of 10,000 immigrants cross the border illegally everyday, only 1/3rd of these immigrants get caught, and only around half of those who don't get caught, become legal residents of the United States.

These figures prove that the system is not functioning properly. The blog makes a good point with over $2000 in fines and no legal way for undocumented citizens to make that money, the government is not helping these people. The government is instead, causing more of a struggle for those who are attempting to get away from a troubled country or past.

The point I am trying to make is, when is America going to become a safe haven for those in need?
