But how has illegal immigration negatively affected the country?

They drive wages down by undercutting wages that they'll take.  The minimum wage is already too low and now companies have an option that's even cheaper?

Automation and outsourcing is going to already do that, illegal immigration or not.

I'm not a damn liberal. I exist outside USA so  even my definitions of the terms vary. He is extremely anti-immigrant anyone with a non-brainwashed mind can see. His actions at the start show ho anti-immigrant he is. He wanted to ban all muslims and build a damn wall without any regard to nuances, humans, immigrants, the american people or reality

well a wall helps illegal immigration stop.  Gotta make immigration easier while keeping safe vetting and securing borders.

No it doesn't. There are things called ditches and ladders. any one of them will be enough for illegal movement



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

Right, only you'll have 10s of millions of more people that need to be supported if that happens. If you want to immigrate, do it the right way. If you can't handle that, then its that person's problem. If that person jumps over a fence and gets caught, he or she should be deported. 



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

It’s still a total waste of money.  Why waste money on spending building a wall.  The high fences we have already are patrolled, have sensors and satellites monitoring them now.  Spending money on a wall when stats have shown that illegal immigration has actually gone down then up through those means seem silly.  Instead that 10 billion could be placed where it count, into our education system.  Give scholarships to kids who excel so they have a chance to go to college and not work low paying jobs illegal immigration fills.  We would not care if all our children had the opportunity to get higher education thus better jobs which would boost the economy in a better direction.  As a world power to have our education system below 3rd world countries should be an embracement.  But we are still looking for the scapegoat to our problems.  Really, who looks to their kids to fill in jobs that illegal immigrants take.  How does those jobs effect higher wage jobs.  People act like its easy to find a job when you are not here legally.
