In the absence of the actual border and viable border enforcement a proper border would enable, that will only make the problem 10x worse, as a significant chunk of Mexico will try to go North in hopes of another "amnesty" in the future.
- Daishiman 7y agoThe total number of immigrants to the US has dropped dramatically as living conditions in Mexico have improved over time. This keeps getting repeated but does not agree with evidence.
- m0zg 7y ago> total number of [illegal aliens] to the US has dropped Given that the US government was prevented from _counting_ them in the 2020 census, I doubt this very much. As an immigrant myself, I also took the liberty of replacing "immigrants" with "illegal aliens" in the quote above, to be more precise.
