Immigration: a hot-button topic that conjures knee-jerk reactions from racism to compassion, depending on who you ask. It's a question of humanity, security, and policy—a multifaceted issue that's as confusing as it is consequential. In this article, we are doing our best to discuss the issues with border security at the United States' southern border, and how the media portrays the situation differently depending on what state you’re living in.

When discussing the physical border wall, Nicole expressed that its implications extend beyond the structure itself —it symbolizes the country's stance on the lack of openness and inclusion. For Jolene, while the wall represents a piece of the puzzle, it is far from the comprehensive solution necessary for genuine reform.

Ultimately, we both believe that the border security issue calls for a coalition—regardless of political affiliation—that genuinely seeks human-centric approaches. Immigration isn't just a 'hot topic'; it's the lived reality of countless individuals seeking safety and opportunity in America.

The dialogue on immigration and border security is ongoing. Our aim is to keep questioning, shedding light, and rejecting the oversimplification that often dominates this narrative. Here's to understanding and pursuing better paths forward.
