They're entering legally and not taking up residence.

Orly? That's not entirely true. Not as many, but sure as hell more than zero:

Quote:
According to Mexican officials, 200,000 Americans are living illegally in Mexico, some of the "drybacks" have been attracted to Mexico by the promise of NAFTA-inspired jobs. There are 150,000 Americans registered with Mexico's National Migration Institute as permanent residents, and two million Americans visit Mexico every year as tourists.

edit: Those numbers are very old. 1994 old. Here's some numbers from 2015.. it's closer to 1 Million illegal Americans in Mexico, or 91% of Americans living in Mexico:

Lots of countries have illegal aliens. The US however has around 15,000,000+ and the number is growing daily.

So then why not propose solutions that deal with that problem instead of backing a border wall that does not? :?

Most of the illegal aliens in the USA arrived by airplane. No multi-Billion dollar vanity fence is going to help with that.

Broader control issues and border fences existed long before Trump. It's been a major problem for decades that's gotten progressively worse.

Repost. You already made that exact same post in another thread and I've already refuted it as fake news considering illegal border crossings on America's Southern border are at their lowest in decades.

That's because of the crackdown you're protesting.
