Without a wall/barrier of some sort the streets would be full of "opportunists" looking for a way to beg/borrow/steal. Imagine people walking and driving thru your neighborhood. Would you be happy? Feel safe? Knowing these illegals are looking to YOU for survival.


Immigration discussions are great when they are hypothetical because one never comes into direct contact with them. Trust me, seeing a gardner, waiter, student etc, working up north is worlds away from living in a border city. And legal drugs just might make it worse as the money supply south of the border would dry up creating even more poverty.
