I don't like that anyone faces deportation - but the reality is, if we act as the safety valve we incentivize bad economic behavior both here in the Americas (hi, Mexico) and abroad.
Here's the sad truth - Mexico HAS the resources, the work ethic and the ability to be a First World power - but it consistently allows its domestic politics to subvert its long term best interest. It sounds easier than it is, of course - but they CAN do this. They simply won't so long as the poor, malcontents and other undesirables (from a Mexican political POV) can just cross the border and become America's problem. Taking pressure off the Mexican government has only allowed it to consistently fail its own people - had the immigration policy been tighter all along, Mexico would be in much better shape - or completely collapsed (never underestimate a government's ability to be stupid) and rebuilt.
The countries where you can reasonably make the economic argument are further south - and their refugees get shot trying to cross into Mexico.
It sounds simpler than it is - and just shutting the border won't effect the needed changes by itself - although it will spur change. But acting as the relief valve only keeps Mexico economically down pressed - it helps a few short term and hurts the whole long term."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot
