I don&#x27;t really follow the rant, but let me try again:<p>Some people are poor. They&#x27;ll risk everything to come to the US or other wealthy countries.  That&#x27;s the economic reality.<p>You have several options:<p>* Become like North Korea.  Walls, &quot;papers, please&quot;, etc...<p>* Ignore it and pretend like you can keep them out or that there&#x27;s a viable &quot;legal path&quot;.  This is kind of what we&#x27;re doing now.<p>* Make it easier for them to come legally so that you can keep track of who is here, kick out the people who actually misbehave, and otherwise run a lawful and orderly country.<p>This has some parallels with the &quot;war on drugs&quot;.
