Israel has invaded Gaza and has fired upon Hamas rocket positions. The news each night shows the agony of the people of Gaza. The innocents are many and many of these innocents are dead or wounded. This agony is both physical and mental. This news, these scenes are exactly what Hamas wants. They intentionally place their rockets among civilians. In schools, hospitals, apartment buildings they fire rockets against Israel.
The Hamas "charter states 'our struggle against the Jews is very great and very serious' and calls for the eventual creation of an Islamic state in Palestine, in place of Israel and the Palestinian Territories,[47] and the obliteration or dissolution of Israel"(Wikipedia).
Hamas wants innocents killed, maimed,crying, wailing on each news cycle. Israel is ensnared. Hamas seeks to damn Israel in the eyes of the world. Is it working?

Why? Immigration
A nation of immigrants, The United States of America, admired and sought by the less fortunate is at a cross roads concerning its roots and heritage. In the beginnings, a land bridge from Asia, Columbus, Jamestown, seeking religious freedom, the Revolutionary War, slavery, the Irish Potato famine, on and on, a surge of people seeking to become a part of the history of the Land of Promise.
This historical migration has now become-illegal and undocumented.
For centuries, no rules and then came Ellis Island, a funnel close to the Statue of Liberty, a control point. Then came Visas, Green Cards and a porous border.
I remember reading years ago that a worker in Mexico could earn $4.50 a day, but come to America and earn $4.50 an hour. So what would you do, if placed in that situation?
The count seems to be 11 million illegals in America today and the latest surge from Central America is unaccompanied children. There would seem to be a least three basic reasons for this current problem. 1. Human smugglers are cashing in on the promise of America. 2. The countries of Central America are failing their people. 3. The borders of America are porous.
What is the solution? A Great Wall of America? Use force to make Central America a safe place? Spend billions on the economies of Central America to make have the same economic promise of America? all are expensive, all are possible but are any really doable?
