the main reason illegal immigration exists is because it's better for our country than not having it. increasing legal immigration is politically unpopular currently, but immigrants are (on net) a massive benefit to society. add a result, Democratic policy is try to expand legal immigration and don't try too hard to stop illegal immigration, while Republican policy is spend a few billion dollars on an art project (a giant wall) that won't stop pretty much any illegal immigration because almost all illegal immigrants enter the country legally.
