As for improving conditions in the countries from which the illegals come, we can't nation build the world. If we ease the internal pressures of the poorly governed nations by accepting a steady flow of their population, the crisis needed for their reform is eased and the rotten conditions will remain.

In order to have a successful nation state, its citizens must assure that state. The citizens must demand their rights or revolt.
Perhaps if we had not made sure that popular governments had not survived in Central America they would not be such a mess.
China and Russia are expanding their involvement in the region, while we reduce ours.

And as far as your wall goes Trump tweeted, now explain what will more wall do
He claims to have already solved the problem
“With so much talk about the Wall, people are losing sight of the great job being done on our Southern Border by Border Patrol, ICE and our great Military. Remember the Caravans? Well, they didn’t get through and none are forming or on their way. Border is tight. Fake News silent!”

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
