Can Houston Cure Its Ills?

Houston's illegal immigration problem reminds me of a new form of incurable cancer. You want to rid people of it, but where do you begin?

While statistics show trafficking and smuggling are growing worse in Houston, some immigration groups are not so sure the immigrations officers are ready to handle the onslaught.

“The cases continue to pile on top of them and they get overwhelmed and they fall through the cracks,” said Curtis Collier of the Houston branch of U.S. Border Watch.

Meanwhile, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement division of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is getting involved.

Houston need all the help it can get in ridding the city from this type of cancer that has a detrimental impact on the City's economy as well as its citizens safety.
