Illegal immigration results in drug trafficking, human trafficking and terrible violence on the border. It also puts children in awful, dangerous situations. It’s a humanitarian crisis and it’s because our borders are not secure. Securing our border can be accomplished many ways, one obviously being a physical wall where necessary. As (American economist) Milton Friedman said, you cannot have an open border and welfare state."
