I can link any one of a dozen videos showing thousands of people crossing the border every day. To the tune of millions of people per year. I am honestly curious, what are the rational reasons that the current administration wants this to happen? Is it really cheap labor? Is it voters? Or is it really just the moral concept of open borders, anyone should be allowed to live anywhere in the world that they want? Maybe it’s all three? I am genuinely asking, I think we are beyond the point of asking whether or not the current government wants millions of people to cross the border, it’s more a genuine question of why.

Perhaps it is simply that our government is too small or incompetent to stop them?

> To the tune of millions of people per year. Immigration is 1.5M per year, not millions. Given that the US turns away several times more immigrants than it admits, it's obviously not an "open border". I notice that "compassion" was not one of your options. For many refugees the option are "immigrate or die".
