Imagine you move to Texas. Live there for 5 years. Made a life there. Texas secedes, decides you aren't allowed in Texas. So they deport you. They ripped you from your home and forced you to live where they think you should live. I think that's terrible. You shouldn't ruin someone's life because they made a desperate mistake.
Its not about the border or country, it's about where home is.
I think we should destroy all borders because borders create conflict and reduce cooperation. Globalize everything, undermine borders. That's how we reduce conflict, not by hating migrants.
there is a legal way to come here, should we make it better and easier to immigrate here? sure. but the illegal immigration is the issue. we need more ports of entry we need more people to man those entry points and process people in a more timely manner, but we also need to make sure that they are coming here to be part of the country and NOT try to undermine it. There are bad actors that want to cause harm to America should be just allow open borders and say "sorry" to the victims? Not every person is bad many do come here for a better life but there is a way to do it. we were easier on the northern border and 9/11 happened, what do we say to those victims? "sorry but its in the name of diversity and open borders?"
I want the wall not to keep people out, but to guide them to a proper entry point, 1) safer 2) we know who is coming in 3) we can vet who comes in and who does not, 4) medical care.
with proper points of entry people won't need to hire people to get them over the border and risk being killed and the children being trafficked, with proper points of entry people would not need to try and swim a river and drown.
Look at most frontier walls in history, most of them are NOT huge giant fortress walls to keep people out they were not manned by people shoulder to should it was all to make people go through certain points of entry for security and health reasons.
If someone came here illegally and has a criminal record and the home nation wants them back well then not my problem,
borders are not the issue its humanity we will always find a reason to fight, getting rid or borders will not help (unless aliens show up and humanity can comes together against a common enemy), take away the borders in the middle east? EVERYBODY currently there has a right to be there? what if 20 million Christians want to move there?
my life is not where I live, disasters and issues arise all the time I could be forced from my home tomorrow for any number of reasons, I can either complain about it or I can work on surviving and finding a new place. I have prepared for that and planned for it.
