The ATF sent guns to Mexico on purpose saying it was to track them to higher ranking cartel members. They gave working firearms to known smugglers and Mexican Cartel members. Then the plan backfired, they lost all the guns, couldn't track them, and now U.S. citizens have died by those guns.

Racism in America still exists and probably always will, especially toward the Latino community. Their acceptance in the work place and in education institutions are frequently effected by evidence a stereotypical bias. This is true prejudice at its core and continues to crosses generations.

Growing up in Arizona I had no idea what racism was. My high school was predominantly Hispanic and I never saw prejudice towards them or hatred to me. It wasn't until I was an adult that I began to realize the problem with racism. Although I do believe that America is still the greatest country, any other country that you can say deals with racism better is just more white, and doesn't have to deal with it. I cannot say that there are not people here who believe, for some insane reason, that America is a suppose to be "white" and anyone of a different race is an "immigrant." I am hopeful that as each generation is born a small part of racism dies.

This web site shows the negative impact on building a border wall with Mexico. It shows the numbers of US workers and Mexican workers affected by this decision. It shows how much capitol could be lost each day once the wall is built.

Great find! I think that there is no real thought being put into the whole wall situation. Both the U.S. and Mexico have benefited from the ability to import and export goods providing jobs for both sides. The relationship that our current president is establishing will definitely impact our economy in a negative way.

Excellent article! I agree with dennibro about the thought process behind it. First they were going to pay for it, now we are. Then the whole subject of who was going to be paying for this wall started to be backtracked. I think not only is it going to cost an astronomical amount of money to build, it will also cost us a lot to maintain it. I think a better idea is needed.

This article is about orphans that were brought to Arizona to be adopted out and were not allowed to be placed with Mexican families. It is a classic tale of Racism that clearly states the Mexicans were not allowed to have the children because supposedly they were illiterate, vicious, and wholly unfit to raise a white child.

In Southwest Arizona, where the United States and Mexico borders meet on reservation land owned by Native American tribes, many Native American people feel caught in the crossfire between the Border Patrol and the Mexican cartels. This is an area with one of the fewest amounts of Border Control protection, allowing a much higher rate of infiltration by drug smugglers and leaving the Native American people caught in the middle of the problem.

This article talks about Torres, an illegal immigrant, who joined the military in hopes of a better future even though he knew it was a risk by doing so. He recently became a citizen by his case being one of a kind. He didn't have a criminal record compared to other military veterans who served and got convicted but were sent back to there country.

The article shows that the Supreme Court overruled the law that people need to proof that they are citizen when they want to vote. There are so many people lost there proof of citizenship by many reasons, and the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 states that citizen just need only one form to prove that they are citizen and they can easily vote

For states that border Mexico--like Arizona, of course--I believe that proof of citizenship is required simply to prevent illegal aliens from voting. The number of Mexican citizens who were allowed to vote outweighs the amount of actual citizens who lost their ability to prove nationality.

Anywhere people go they should have to show proof of citizenship. If there is illegal immigrants in Arizona Im sure they are in other states as well. I know if I was illegal I would get very far away from the border as possible. I think our citizenship laws should get stricter.
