 I disagree   with   Michael Lind  and  Steven Clemons  that the statement

from Senator Dianne Feinestein sends a message to the world that America wants only cheap labors immigrants. And I don’t feel that America  is losing the brain game. As we all know America was built by the best brains and genius of the world as well as the least of migrant workers. I do believe that this trend will continue. 

I also believe America  needs to do something about the illegal immigrants already living here, perhaps find a way to legalize them without sending them back to their Countries of origin. Closing the American borders is not working. See letters below.

My dad came from a town in Mexico called ATOTONILCO also known as "ATOTO". My mom also came from Mexico. My mom crossed the border when she was 7 years old(illegally). My dad crossed it when he was 8 years old. I know my parents don't regret coming to the U.S. My parents are now in the U.S. legally.

My dad crossed the border illegally with his brother and a guy in the water when he was about eight. My mom also crossed the border illegally when she was about nine or ten with her two older brothers, cousin, and oldest sister. Her mother came legally like three months before them and her three younger sisters came a year later when my grandmother got settled. My mom and her siblings hada hrad time trying to talk like americans because they spoke with a carribean dialect, but soon got used to it.The schoolwork and food different also. My dad came here to have a better life and my mom came here because of a very big war that was happening in Nicaragua.
