So why isn’t this a problem in China, Russia, Korea, Japan, or Taiwan? There are many poor countries with people who would benefit from the increased standard of living in the countries I listed.

Also it’s obvious that many incoming migrants are not from central or South America, there are significant numbers of people coming from Africa and Asia to the US southern border. Is the only way to secure the US southern border to raise the standard of living in every country in the world?

Why isn’t immigration via Mexico into the US similar to immigration into Taiwan? Uh. I suppose you could start with the difference between a land border and roughly 100 miles of ocean separating the nearest country.

Why isn’t it similar into Russia? From where? Whose life is going to be that much better in Russia?

Why isn’t it similar into Korea? I mean, I imagine the highly militarized border might play a role.

Did you think these were serious questions?
