Almost everything you read or hear about the border crisis between the U.S. and Mexico today is false.
The fact is that BOTH the United States and Mexico greatly profit from “illegal” migrants streaming into the United States, and this has been happening since 1848, with the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and the end of the Mexican-American war.
If the U.S. actually closed the border and deported all illegal “aliens,” which has been the platform of the GOP for many years now, the entire economy of the United States would very quickly collapse, as these “illegal” Mexicans fulfill roles in agriculture and industry with jobs almost no American will do.
