Can anyone clarify this : If we get rid of border control, would there be any type of future Democratic intention to control the numbers from running into the millions over the years until literally American citizens of all color and nationality are just another minority ?
Apologies in advance for the long response.
1st - The answer to that question is: If we got rid of all border control it would lead to a lot of problems... various kinds of crimes, both national and international, crimes ranging from drugs, to illegal immigration, etc.
However your question is hypothetical and unrealistic.
Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans are suggesting that the USA get rid of border control. The idea that the Democrats want to get rid of border security is false.
What is happening is:
> Trump wants to spend many billions of dollars, in his own words, a midlevel system of border protection; a wall. Publicly available information from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Customs & Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement strongly indicate that a wall would be too costly and would
not be effective.
> Some, though not all, Republicans seem to agree with Trump's plan.
> Democrats want a modern system of border protection, which combines more personnel with better training and better equipment, and is supported by high tech systems (sensors, cameras, etc), and in some areas border barriers.
In addition, many people are not award of the fact that border security is not just security at the USA-Mexico border. It also includes the USA-Canada border. It includes the Atlantic seaboard. It includes the Pacific Coast.
And it includes every international air port in the USA. Also, the majority of illegal aliens that come to the USA come by what are know as ports of entry; both border entry points and international air ports. A wall would not stop anyone coming through a port of entry.
>There is one thing that would curb illegal immigration that very few people, either Democrat or Republican, are willing to do:
>>> Prosecute U.S. citizens & U.S. organizations/companies/corporations/businesses that hire illegal aliens. If this was done, there would be no jobs for illegal aliens. The vast majority would then leave.
Illegal aliens are here to make a better life. That means the need money, which means then need jobs. People in the USA are giving them those jobs. Take away the jobs, and the illegal aliens can't make better lives. In fact, they can't live at all. They would leave... on there own. Again, criminally and civilly prosecute any and all US persons who hire illegal aliens. US persons don't want to go to jail and don't want the government fining them (i.e. taking their money), so US persons would stop hiring illegal aliens. Again, that would lead to the illegal aliens leaving on there own. <<<
