I find the anti-immigration argument insulting and demeaning to people just trying to carve out a living for their families. Unless you are a Native American, your ancestors were immigrants at one time as well. And it's not like immigration is an easy or inexpensive thing to do. Nowadays if you're poor and uneducated you are essentially barred entry into the U.S. And thanks to NAFTA Mexican workers can't make a living in their own home country.
