It's very clear that migrants find America's social programs appealing however they are primarily here to take advantage of our weakening labor laws..
The question I intend to pose from this thread is who created the situation where these people can legitimately claim Asylum in the United States. It's my firm opinion that the drug war is the primary cause of South American and Latin American violence and political unrest therefore the creators of the drug war are the people I blame for the existence of the Caravan and the overall political instability and levels of violence in Latin America.
I hate liberal politically correct social justice Warriors more than any man walking but in this case I think it's clear that conservative Republicans created the drug war and subsequently the Caravan.

Of course it also takes Americans to make that happen but they get a pass. Couldn't upset campaign contributors now, could we?
1.) The govts of the third-world countries they came from, for failing to enforce their laws and keep the levels of crime, corruption and oppression low enough that their people wouldn't want to flee their own country in huge numbers.
2.) The govt of the United States, for failing to enforce their own laws and keep people from flooding in illegally, and even offering those illegal aliens goodies to come here.
Lets see I spend about $5 a week on dairy products. So if I have to spend $9 a week to ensure that our labor market is functioning with legal hires I fine with that. And poor people who can't take care of their kids get milk for free through WIC and EBT cards so what is the problem?
It's just BS anyway as only 2-4% of illegals are working in the farming industry and for those jobs there are unlimited H-2A visas for legal, foreign workers. Those who hire illegals instead only pocket the profits from their cheap, illegal workers they don't pass any savings on to the consumer but what they do pass on to the taxpayer are their enormous socials costs. Those cheap dairy products aren't so cheap after all, are they?
35% of foreign born Vegas born residents are here illegally. And construction jobs are the most likely jobs for illegal alien men. The truth is that it is almost certain that a majority of constructions jobs are held by illegals in Vegas.
The absolute truth and it's pretty much true everywhere especially here in the southwest. They get an all Spanish speaking crew whom most are here illegally and only other Spanish speakers will get hired so they can communicate with the others. A mono-lingual English speaker doesn't get hired for those jobs anymore. Not to mention that they can't compete with illegals at the low wages offered.

3. In the case of Guatemala indeed it`s the fault of the U.S. govt. We deposed their democratically elected president in 1954 who wanted to bring the people a guaranteed minimum wage and universal suffrage. We decided that he was a commie and had to go.
Money, jobs, safe place to go. The USA did screw up several governments in central and South American in the 70's and 80's, a lesson we still have not learned. Add in businesses who hire illegal first for low wages, relatives who can provide shelter in USA, and need for physically intensive workers. I have yet to meet a parent at a school event who says "I want my kid to be a blue collar worker with physical job" regardless of the parents background or education so I think it will continue weather we build a wall or not. We envision our children escaping the world of digging ditches and shoveling rocks that many of us had to do to make a living.
Why would these Central Americans be fleeing in 2018 if it were a fact that it was the U.S.'s policies clear back in the 70's and 80's for them coming here? That makes no sense at all.
We don't need any more manual laborers in our country. We have plenty of American blue-collared workers. Doesn't matter what any parents want for their kids many can't afford a college education and don't want to be a white collared desk jockey and there's nothing wrong with that.
No, the good walls do work and the 700 miles needs to be completed on the most porous areas of the border as already approved by congress back in 2006. I have already posted several links proving that they are very effective. Will it end illegal entry 100%? No, but they are effective enough to cut it back immensely.
By the way, money and jobs are not a valid reason to come here and claim asylum so they will be rejected.
