Anyone who really believes that it is only Mexican families coming across our southern border just to make a hard earned nickel or two, should go there themselves and take a look, talk to the border patrol agents and the ranchers that live along the border. The stories they tell will just blow your mind. Yes, there have been some of the stories printed in the press, but there is A LOT more than that. The countries thesis people are from are not friendly to the USA.
So if anyone is opposed to closing this porous border, then (to use the logic of the Trumpets) they are for having terrorists living in their back yard.
I am certain drug dealers and terrorists are crossing the Mexican border. If they were not vastly out numbered by Mexican families coming across just to make a hard earned nickel or two the terrorists and criminals would be easier to catch.
If it wasn't impossible for poorly educated, but hard working, illegals to enter legally, those people would come in legally.
There is a demand for hard workers and that vacuum will not be filled by the American born drug addicts, parolees, welfare queens, and the socially crippled and maladjusted who have dropped out of the workforce.
Without illegal immigration our population would be declining, and a declining population makes it very hard for the American economy to grow.
Either stop aborting the next workforce, start breeding, or pick which immigrant you want...mexicans or muslims.
