migration from less developed countries to industrialized countries is a large-scale phenomenon in the contemporary world. It is partly a result of globalization. This phenomenon is greatly affecting the U.S. and has become one of the central issues of partisan politics and the current electoral process for next year's presidential election.
The issue of migration in the U.S. has two faces. One is 12 million illegal immigrants living and working in this country illegally and the other is the constant flow of citizens from neighboring countries in Latin America and the Caribbean who want to seek better alternatives all cost of living in this industrialized society.
Both problems are equally important, but somehow the priority of preventing or regulating the flow of new immigrants and so do the greater the problem of the undocumented.
migratory flow responds to some degree to the physical law of communicating vessels, which rules on liquids and said that two tanks of water or fluids adjacent having a channel of communication between them tend to level off in height. In other words, the liquid will flow from higher levels to the lowest level of the set trying to find a balance.
The similarity is given in the migration process. The highest level of poverty, unemployment, tends to find paths that lead you to a place of lower poverty rates, more job opportunities and better welfare. The pressure of poverty will, as in the case of water that penetrates all crevices or pits or pores to reach the other tank, the people, is to seek cross borders by any means, looking for any neglect of authorities, using any tool, as the pressure difference causes the flow is unstoppable. The
authorities and politicians do not understand that. Believe they can curb migration with a wall on the border and perhaps succeed temporarily, but fail to take pressure people to find other ways to move towards a better world, increasingly in a more disordered and that the higher the wall greater the pressure and longer will be the stairs that immigrants used to bypass this obstacle. But no shortcuts.
politicians do not understand that the best solution is to look down the differences, seeking forms of commercial cooperation for employment generation and wealth in the neighboring nations and seeking regular channels of flow of immigrants, to enable Input to larger numbers of people, that this economy can absorb, and regulate the flow as is done with hydraulic engineering to channel water and preventing such problems looking for solutions create destabilization and major landslides.
have to use common sense to find solutions to many problems that beset the relationship between nations. And do not think are the solutions of force and repression that will provide greater interaction and development.
The large "peaceful invasion", perhaps the largest in the history of mankind, that is taking American by "invading" the U.S. in search better life choices, not stop anything, walls, police or customs, or private control groups, or groups Xenophon. The rational and intelligent would regulate and seek to improve the living conditions of residents, building trade, technology sharing, looking well, narrowing the gap between neighboring peoples achieving greater regional balance.
