The border militarization is "criminal" and has been killing lots of people. Its only because its a particular race and class of individuals having their human rights violated that their complaints are disregarded by many living in the US.
As attempted to communicate in the previous post they face low intensity warfare on their economy with hundreds of thousands of farmers out of work. I don't care about "my" country I care about the livelihood of all humans. An the US supports injustice "over there" it will always create injustice here.
Clearly their are valid concerns of the US population about downward pressure on wages that open borders would create. There is an easy solution would have been not to undercut key sectors of the Mexican agricultural economy when the trade laws where established and to put in more labor rights into trade laws. The corporations fought to make sure that did not happen. Now these corporations lean on racism to cast the migrant as a criminal when it when it was their criminality in establishing the laws that pushed millions into poverty and subsequently motivated mass migration.
Your concern about "criminals" entering could also be alleviated with more liberal migration quotas that would help regulate instead of criminalize... this would also protect the us from the much more common crime in the US which is abusing immigrant labor resource because of their questionable immigration status. Again by protecting the rights of others we would protect ourselves in eliminating black market labor and associated downward pressure on US wages
Your concern about disease would again be addressed by proper enforcement of labor regulations so that the issues of malnutrition, make shift housing, lack of medical care could be addressed.
In the long term we should acknowledge that Its human nature to migrate when you face poor living conditions. We should not build systems that restrict freedoms of movement it should not be a crime to survive and peruse prosperity.
You call on me to act on a freedom that you seek to deny others.
