At the end of the day, people want to emigrate to the US for a better way of life.
Which is one of our core values. Has been for centuries.
These modern people who want to destroy what made America Great by ending that makes me very angry.

I get where you're coming from on a philosophical level.
On the other hand... there's a very practical limit that needs to be considered. We already have a serious problem in the US with homelessness, inadequate incomes, cost of housing and food. We don't even have a sustainable and reasonable approach in place to take care of our actual citizens.
The reality is, the focus on the poor in the US will change 0% whether people are crossing our border or not. So, that is a red herring.
The US can be under the strain of poverty only when it really allows itself to be. Currently a bill in the Senate would have helped at least address funding at the border, for communities that definitely assistance. But otherwise, most of America couldn't even tell there is a border issue, if not for the tabloid news of Rupert Murdoch. There are viable solutions to managing immigration,
but right now the liberal side's position is deal with it, and the conservative side's position is pretend we can just close the border and it'll go away... and just send them all back.
