Open borders or the WALL?

Obviously not open borders, but not a wall either. There's a reason we have locks on our homes, same thing should be for the nation.

That said. 45% of immigrants fly into the United States. And, most of the Mexicans are already here, lol. So building a wall is a really silly and wasteful thing to do. If drugs constantly get into the country illegally, people are going to, as well.

In addition, there was something called the "revolving door" in the early 80s and 90s, prolly before, where Mexicans would come here to work, then go back home to support their families.

Building a wall doesn't prevent them from coming in, but it makes it riskier or more challenging to go back home. So they stay. Which I am not averse to, lemme tell you I like Latinas as much as white girls; but, for point of argument: a wall is as dumb as burning great heaping piles of money.

There needs to be a different solution.
