That's my take exactly and what I meant by saying that the problem WILL be resolved. Blue and red, same problem for both camps.
If looked at strictly geographically, disregarding national borders, we and the Canadians are the "haves" and the Mexicans are the "have nots": there's nothing at all new, surprising or unreasonable for people who have not to want to have. They don't see our border as anything other than an unpleasant impediment to their getting to the jobs that WE have to give to them.
True, there are criminals and trouble makers among them - as there are among any people. The majority are not and are just here to work.
As long as there are jobs to allow them to have more, of course they will come to work those jobs. We can hardly, with clear conscience, cast the blame on the illegals for taking advantage of what this country clearly continues to offer them (while profiting handsomely by paying meager wages).
Violence towards them, angry name calling and racial bigotry are totally non-productive and meaningless to those for whom putting food in their and their families mouths are all that really matters.
This ain't easy and this ain't pleasant to anyone, but, this is what it is for now.
