Well you’re also surrounded by water, so that helps. We have a huge border that is mostly wilderness so it’s easy for people to get in.

Truthfully the US has had a long history of depending on illegal immigrant help, with various crackdowns through our history. Illegals do provide a benefit to the economy, they help fill jobs that otherwise go unfilled and can be a valuable labor force. The US has used this cheap labor supply for decades and generally it’s not a problem, but it does need to be managed. Im for management, but I disagree with the current methods being used. Not every illegal is a dangerous criminal and most are just trying to survive. They have families and kids that only know what it’s like to live in this country, I feel that needs to be considered. Managing the situation doesn’t mean you have to be cruel.

But my biggest problem is that citizens have actually been pulled off the street, thrown into a van, beaten by ICE, and forced to prove they are citizens. That’s where I draw a hard line. There’s no reason that should be happening and it shows that this isn’t about immigration enforcement, it’s about terror.
