>> Personally, I don't think it would be money well spent. But, it would be an economic stimulus for the border regions and they need it.

I have no interest in blowing money for economic stimulus, because it doesn't work (see: Obama's stimulus, nearly six years ago, which by their own metrics failed to do anything at all).

But a great country cannot remain a great country unless it has some kind of barrier to entry and standards for admission. When you have the greatest country in the world, everyone wants in. You have to protect it. (See also: Mariel Boatlift).
