An Economic and Political Perspective

I do not believe that America should have an open door policy for immigration because it would increase the population, corruption, crimes, and poverty. If an open door policy is enforced, it would lead to a scarcity of resources.

But, that does not mean I support the Mexican- American border.

Instead of spending give or take $2 billion dollars on the border maintenance/salaries of border patrol (etc), it would rather be more efficient and effective if we worked to help increase Mexican wealth overall. One of the reasons why there are many Mexican illegal immigrants is because of NAFTA. This agreement led to millions of small farmers losing their jobs while being replaced with industries, and cultures rapidly being replaced with westernization. If we want to decrease illegal immigrants, corporations need to stop exploiting Mexican labor and resources.

I do not think an open door policy will be useful in America, other countries, and most importantly to the environment.

I also do not agree that the border is efficient in stopping a human in need of food and money.

I do believe that stopping destructive policies like NAFTA may help in reducing illegal immigration.
