We talked about our governments immigration laws. My topics for it were:
Working with Mexico.
- The US is partnering with Mexico to make crossing the border illegally more difficult for both the immigrants of Mexico and the US.
Increasing community outreach.
- The government is talking to bordering towns and cities, in the United States and in America, about their concerns of people crossing the border. They are also talking about the guards and how that concerns them.
Doubling boots on the ground.
- The border control have more than doubled their agents across the Northern border. There has been a 700 percent increase of security guards since 9/11.
Stepping up surveillance.
- For the first time, planes guard the Southern border from California to Texas, where most people cross. They also planned to fence 652 miles of the border. They already covered 649 of the border already.
The other partners in my group where Abby Pearson, Maddie Haas, Scott Kintner.
