It’s really bizarre that you bring up physical border security when Israel just demonstrated that’s not at all necessary.
Then again, what is worse than a small group who hates? A large group who doesn't care.
Huh? Since when does Mexico hate America? Many Mexicans like visiting America for shopping and sightseeing, which is why over 2.3M were issued visitor visas in 2023 alone. Mexicans living in American tend to be very hardworking and friendly. Also, I thought most of the people crossing illegally are originally coming from points south of Mexico?
Most of the people coming here illegally now are not from Mexico. Some of the last ICE numbers I saw, border patrol had over 150 countries represented and none of them were Mexico. It is true that Mexican cartels who employ Coyotes do account for the majority of the trafficking since they control all the major routes into this country. All of these illegals are violating the Safe Country asylum rule and the majority of people who are seen for asylum cases are rejected and deported anyways.

They also remit billions back to Mexico which never make into our economy:
Mexicans living and working abroad sent $63.31 billion home last year, a 7.6% increase compared to 2022. Remittances out of Mexico increased 19.5% last year to total $1.05 billion, or just 1.7% of the incoming amount.
Most of the incoming money — 99% of which was wired electronically in transfers that averaged $393 per transaction — came from the United States, where millions of Mexicans live.

OK, but that's not illegal in any way, and I don't think most people would consider it wrong either. The US is a free market economy, so you can pretty much do whatever you want with the money you earned, and gifts aren't taxed at normal wealth levels. Why would it be any different for Mexican residents (and if they aren't permanent residents, it makes even more sense to send their money back home where they are legally expected to return)?
