In many Mexican American and Hispanic families, our young men face cultural pressures, emotional struggles, and confusion about what it means to be a real man. Sadly, some grow up thinking that relationships are about control, s*x, or popularity — only to find themselves in unhappy or even abusive situations.

But being a great man — and eventually a leader of a family — requires something deeper. It takes wisdom, patience, faith, and growth. Here are 10 things every young man should consider as he prepares to build a strong future for himself and those he loves:

1. Know Your Worth, But Stay Humble
You have value — not because of how much you own or how many people admire you — but because of your heart, your discipline, and your intentions. A confident man doesn’t need to prove himself to others; he builds himself for his purpose.

President Reagan and the Young Idealist

During a public event, President Ronald Reagan spoke with a young girl whose parents were known to be liberal Democrats. He asked her, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”

Without hesitation, she proudly replied, “I want to be the President of the United States!”

Reagan smiled and said, “That’s wonderful. And what’s the first thing you’d do as President?”

The little girl responded sincerely, “I’d build houses for all the homeless people and make sure they have food.”

The President nodded thoughtfully and replied, “You don’t have to wait until you’re President to do that. Come to my house, mow the lawn, and clean up the yard. I’ll pay you $50. Then, we can go find a homeless person, and you can give them the money yourself.”

The girl paused, thinking it over. She glanced at her parents, then looked back at Reagan and said, “Why not just have the homeless person do the yard work and give them the $50?”

Reagan chuckled and said, “Welcome to the Republican Party.”"this story is not true — it’s a well-known political anecdote or joke that has circulated in various forms for many years.

Why Many Nations Enforce Harsh Penalties for Illegal Entry
Some people in the U.S. approve or even encourage illegal entry into the country — often out of compassion or a desire for inclusivity. But it’s important to understand why many governments around the world respond with severe measures to unauthorized immigration.

America is being tested yet again. We are at a crossroads: Will we continue to bend, or will we break and follow the example of countries that have responded with extreme and sometimes inhuman policies to protect their borders?

We must ask ourselves: What happens when compassion is taken for granted? History shows that even the most generous nations can reach a breaking point.

Here’s how other countries handle illegal entry:

North Korea:
Border crossing is considered treason. Offenders face ex*****on, torture, or lifelong forced labor. The regime sees illegal entry as an attack on the state.

Pakistan:
Illegal entry can result in up to 10 years in prison and fines. Enforcement is especially strict in high-tension border areas.

India:
Under the Foreigners Act, illegal entry can bring up to 8 years of imprisonment. Deportation is common, but long-term sentences are imposed in sensitive regions.

Singapore:
Entry without a valid visa can mean 6 months in prison, a fine of up to $6,000, and mandatory caning (3 strokes minimum) — one of the few countries with physical punishment for this crime.

Russia:
Punishment includes up to 2 years of forced labor or 5 years in prison for illegal group entry or violent cases.

Iran:
Illegal entry may result in up to 3 years in prison, heavy fines, or worse. In certain areas, punishment includes lashings or indefinite detention.

Saudi Arabia:
Penalties include up to 7 years in prison, substantial fines, and eventual deportation. Legal protections are minimal, and sentences are harsh.

What Does This Mean for the U.S.?
America is a beacon of hope — but even the brightest lights attract unwanted attention. Like bees to honey, those in desperate situations are drawn to nations that offer opportunity. But if the system is abused, we may face pressure to respond as others have.

Will we remain humane?
Or will we — like others — be forced into extremes?

This is not a call for cruelty. It’s a call for awareness.
If we don’t protect our values and our borders now, the decisions made in desperation later could shape a very different America.
What are your thoughts?
