NguLeonard Lance Ilizwe lethu lijamelene nokhuseleko lwesizwe kunye nengxaki yoluntu kumda wase-US-Mexico.
ISebe lezoKhuseleko lwaseKhaya laseMelika liqikelela ukuba ngaphezulu kolutsha olungahambisani nolunye olungama-52,000 luwele umda ngokungekho mthethweni - phantse iphindwe kabini itotali yonyaka ophelileyo. Uninzi lolu lutsha lunokufumana ubundlobongela, ukuxhatshazwa ngokwesondo okanye ezinye iindlela zokuxhatshazwa ezandleni zabathengisi beziyobisi abanganyanisekanga, abathengisi babantu kunye nabashushumbisi.
Iiarhente zokuGada abaMda baseMelika kunye nabasebenzi bayothuswa yile nto yokufika kwabantwana abavela kwelinye ilizwe, ulutsha kunye neentsapho endaweni yokugxila kwindawo yokuqala yokukhusela umda wethu osemazantsi. Inyathelo elikhawulezileyo liyafuneka.
Okokuqala, ndicela ngentlonipho ukuthunyelwa ngokukhawuleza koNogada weSizwe kumda wethu osemazantsi. Amadoda nabafazi boKhuseleko lwethu kuZwelonke bafaneleke ngokukodwa ukuba baphendule kwezi ngxaki zobuntu. Baza kuba nakho ukukhusela nokuqhubekeka naba baphambukeli bengenamaphepha ngelixa bevumela abagadi bemida ukuba bagxile kwimisebenzi yabo ephambili: ukukhusela imida yethu kubathengisi beziyobisi, abathengisi babantu kunye nabanqolobi.
Okwesibini, ndiyakucela ukuba uthumele ngokukhawuleza iijaji zokufudukela kwelinye ilizwe, amagosa aseburhulumenteni kunye nezinye izixhobo zolawulo ukukhawulezisa ukumanyelwa nokugxothwa kwabaphambukeli abangenamaphepha. Inkqubo yokumamela ngokukhawuleza kunye nokukhawulezayo inokuba yeyona nto iphambili kunye neyona nto inokuthintela iintsapho zase-Central America ezicinga ukuthumela abantwana bazo ukuba bangene e-US ngokungekho semthethweni.
Kwaye okokugqibela, ndicela ngentlonipho ukuba ubanga oorhulumente base-El Salvador, eGuatemala naseHonduras ukuba benze lukhulu ekufumaneni izisombululo kule ngxaki yoluntu ikhulayo kunye nokuthintela abantwana kunye neentsapho zabo ekubalekeni e-United States.
Mnu. Mongameli, luxanduva lukarhulumente wobumbano ukukhusela imida yethu. Ngentlonipho ndiyakucela ukuba uthathe la manyathelo angasentla ngokukhawuleza ukulungisa le ngxaki kwaye usebenze neCongress ekuphuhliseni isicwangciso sexesha elide sokukhusela imida yethu kunye nokunyanzelisa imithetho yethu yokufuduka ngoku.
Ozithobileyo,
