Hispanics are the vast majority of citizens and legal residents in the border areas. Naturally. They were the first Texans and Californians. They also have their own, pragmatic ideas about immigration that aligns with the centrist Democrats' approaches. They know a wall is an expensive charade and there are common sense solutions.
Has it ever occurred to some of you that like so many other careers/jobs out there today the Border Patrol agency demographics reflects not only applicants but those able to pass the screening and so forth.
For one thing there is a mandated fluency in Spanish. If you aren't there will be a period of classes which naturally native or whatever speakers don't have to bother with completing.

No, they don't want the wall because it will deter their illegal amigos from getting in here. It is not an expensive charade. The good walls already erected have been very effective in deterring illegal entry. I have posted links proving it. When you compare the $25 billion that the wall will cost to the over $100 billion that that illegals cost us it's a bargain.
I wonder if conservatives realize the US had open borders from its inception until 2009.
Where do you get that
Americans encouraged relatively free and open immigration during the 18th and early 19th centuries, and rarely questioned that policy until the late 1800.. After certain states passed immigration laws following the Civil War, the Supreme Court in 1875 declared regulation of immigration a federal responsibility. Thus, as the number of immigrants rose in the 1880s and economic conditions in some areas worsened, Congress began to pass immigration legislation

And up until 2009, one could enter the US through Canada or Mexico without a passport. We had immigration laws, but the borders themselves, were effectively open.

That's true. When I was in my twenties we used to go to Rosarita Mexico to party on the weekends. At the Tijuana border they would ask each of us our nationality and if we said American with no accent they let us drive on through.
