Nothing will really come of this. Election season and this is posturing, mostly for votes. I hate that politicians use migrants as pawns, but also equally their voting based is being used as pawns in this.

I am only concerned for the migrants who are men women and children and marginalized groups. I think that is where the focus of anyone's attention should be, to ensure no one is suffering and assist those that are.

And before the counter argument that these people are bringing in drugs to the country comes in to play, I will go ahead and let anyone know that I am not concerned about that. These people are pawns from every side, including the narco states of the south. The migrants are as much of your problem as your neighbor with a bad political opinion, which is to say as much as you let it upset you. Take care of the drugs you find, and instead of assuming guilt find a more humanitarian path or we are all entirely fucked as a species.

Ultimately this isn't about migrants at all. It is about political power and the attempt to capture more of it at the cost of anything not in your direct sphere of influence.

The inflow/outflow of borders has a purpose. Sometimes you will need to slow down immigration because you literally cannot sustain more population. Sometimes you let the flood gates open because it provides a huge economic boost. Most of the time you will want at least some, but there is no way you can have rigid static border policy because it is a system who's balance depends on the inputs fed into it. You will collapse your country by going too far in either direction, depending on your economic circumstances at the time.
