I am concerned about terrorism, which is why I want to to close the Canadian border. That's where there's been the most documented terrorist incidents. However, you don't here anybody complaining about that, but you hear much complaining about the Mexican border, which is much more heavily regulated.
I, however, have nothing against people immigrating to the U.S. for jobs nor do I have any problem with them because they are poor/ uneducated. A good half of my ancestors were Irish Catholics, who came over to this country during the Potato Famine. They were all poor and illiterate and probably had to listen to nasty comments similar to the ones thrown by y'all against Mexican immigrants. However, despite that, they settled in Chicago, started successful businesses, and became productive members of society. The same, I believe, applies to most immigrants today.
