Republicans have supported the systematic destabilization of Latin America. They’ve supported the drug war, coups, etc. Democrats share a lot of the blame for this, but nowhere near as much as the republicans.
And the second half is that any time there is an attempt at immigration reform, republicans kill it, therefore killing any resolution to the problem. You can’t moderate something you don’t control. On this part, republicans share nearly 100% of the fault.
Cartels, drug trafficers, and criminals will always attempt to cross the border no matter what because of the lucrative opportunities, and the disregard for the law. And the people trying to escape Latin America for their own safety will always attempt to cross because their countries have been destabilized. “Just secure the border” will not solve the root problem, because the issue is way more complicated than that. That’s all republicans ever want to do, throw money at border security while ignoring the actual cause.

I suspcet a typo.
lol so the two options are:
- let them all in illegally
- let them all in legally
That’s not even close to what I said.
If we really want to solve the problem, we need to eliminate root problem, the root motivation for why so many people are trying to get in. The war on drugs needs to end, the destabilization of Latin American countries needs to end. And for people who want to legally immigrate, there should be reform so that they can quickly, easily, and cheaply immigrate so long as they don’t have a criminal record. Our nation was built on the strength of immigration, and we’ve lost that strength.
Criminals and drug traffickers should continue to be stopped at the border. Everybody else should be able have freedom.
