The truth is a wall is really there to satisfy low I.Q. racists and even Trump himself knows it'll never get built, it's just something that's pushing him to win Republican votes, he has an easy out if he's ever president in saying "well don't blame me, the Democrats/Mexican government/my own party blocked it" when it never gets built.
Illegal Immigrants only cost the US 1.5% of its yearly spending ... that's a drop in the bucket, they are not some massive "financial drain" if you took them out of the equation you could build a couple more stealth bombers. Whoopity doo.
The way people talk you would think they are like 10-20% of the US budget, not even close, it really just boils down to good ol' fashioned racism at its core.
Reform the immigration entirely. Legalize those who are already in the US aside from the tiny fraction that are actual violent criminals. Most Mexicans in the US are just hard working regular family folk who quite frankly are willing to work harder than many lazy Americans. Legalize them and get them paying more taxes to contribute to the tax pool moreso, they pay a "fine" of higher taxes over the next 5-8 years as a "penalty".
In general IMO the US should allow more immigrants too provided they are willing to pay higher taxes for the first 5-10 years. Trump's own freaking wife Melania didn't have US citizenship for like 10+ years. If a guy who is a billionaire can't get legal citizenship for his wife what chances does a regular joe have? Allow people who are willing to pay to become citizens faster. The way the system is set up now is just encouraging people entering illegal, give a legal pathway but one in which the government profits.
