Recently, it has only become much worse. Big government progressives are interested in marginalizing, dividing and silencing critics who provide a different point of view. They believe solutions are found in the federal government. We believe the American People have the answers. There are three institutions i believe in first of all, the family. Second of all, the church, and third, the government. Each one of these institutions play a very significant role and if they are out of balance, things can go wrong. The family has to be strong.

Wont affect it at all. But its become simply undeniable that president obamas policies, including his unilateral Deferred Action Program, as well as the perception that he is less than seriously committed to enforcing current law, and, in fact, has ordered secretary johnson to investigate and recommend a further relaxation of his enforcement policies, all of this has played a huge role in creating the perception to tens of thousands of unaccompanied children that you should risk your life and travel unaccompanied in the hands of the cartels to the United States because there wont be any consequences associated with it. Its that perception that the president continues to create by his silence, that is, the magnet for this ilLegal Immigration. Dont take my word for it.
