Lots of people believe its a race issue that you don't want them here because they are Mexican or not what ever. Yet the reality is you would not have a party at your house and let just anyone walk in. You invite those you trust. If you have a open door policy eventually someone will enter the party who doesn't like the music and try to change it. The owner of the house then gets up set that his music was changed and then there is a controversy. Its about providing a safety net for those who are already here. Simple solution is for the left to give the money for the wall with stipulations on the amount of immigrants who can come in every year. The right would have to agree to a certain amount of immigration. Then both sides get close to what they want. Then the people who feel death is going to ride in from the south unchecked are happy. The people who feel that the poor and desolate people of Mexico need to have a place to come look for the dream are happy. Yet the dream seems like a night mare anymore. I suppose when your country will let Chevrolet work you for 2 dollars a day though America does seem like a dream. That was a guess on the two dollars don't take that literal.
The my-country-is-like-my-house analogy is starting to make me sick.
The primary reason for the wall is that Trump doesn't want to 'look foolish' to his base. The primary argument against the wall is that walls don't work. You lot may as well spend the $5 billion on a huge pile of candy floss along the border, hoping migrants will get stuck.
If you think the two sides on the US political divide are going to agree amount of legal migration, you're living in a fantasy world.
