I've got nothing personal in general against them as individuals. The problem is the big picture. For one thing, if we can't stop people from crossing the border, the bad guys can come just as easy as the good. We need to know who is coming. Another problem is that we are are a country with wealth and much opportunity for those who take advantage of our system. If we just open door we could have half of the population of the world pouring in, it would collapse the system, making this no longer the land of opportunity that it is now. In order for this country to be a land of opportunity for citizens and immigrants alike we must manage growth wisely.
But - as I understand it - you DO have immigration controls, isn't that right?

Yeah, but they're being ignored, especially in California. Thousands sneak in every day and when ICE tries to locate and send them back California ignores the law and protects them. Another problem is that our borders are so large, it's a huge task to monitor them well - the main reason Trump wants to build a wall.
