Here's my question: what border???? Sarcasm used for emphasis!
Here's an added interesting fact. It seems our illegal immigration issue seems to focus the most on our southwest border.
However, according to a Pew Research report, "Mexicans may no longer be the majority of U.S. unauthorized immigrants. They made up half of all unauthorized immigrants in 2016, according to the Center’s preliminary estimate, marking the first time in at least a decade that they did not account for a clear majority of this population. Their numbers (and share of the total) have been declining in recent years: There were 5.6 million Mexican unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. in 2015 and 2016, down from 6.4 million in 2009. Meanwhile, the number of unauthorized immigrants from nations other than Mexico has grown since 2009, from 5 million that year to 5.4 million in 2015. Non-Mexicans numbered 5.7 million in the preliminary 2016 estimate, a total that was not statistically different from 2015. From 2009 to 2015, the number of unauthorized immigrants from Asia and Central America rose. Increases in the number from other countries have mostly offset the decline in the number from Mexico (and a relatively small decrease in the number from South America)" (Pew Research 10.3.16).
Based on a 2016 article by a Newsweek affiliate, Latin Times report, this reality has been an issue commonly overlooked when discussing the illegal immigrant:
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) now estimates 93,000 Canadian overstays, more than double the amount of Mexican overstays (42,000) and about the same as the combined total of South America America (Cedar Attanasi: 2018 Newsweek Media Group).
So why such a disparity? Probably because "Canadians have a higher median income, are less likely to live in poverty, and are more likely to have health insurance and to be college educated. They are significantly older, on average, than the overall immigrant and U.S.-born populations" as Elijah Alperin and Jeanne Batalova reported in a 2018 article for the Migration Policy Institute (6.7.2018). Yet, according to the same article, "In 2017, Canadians living abroad, whether in the United States or other country, sent approximately US $1.3 billion in remittances...[a sum of money sent, especially by mail, in payment for goods or services or as a gift (Google)]
to Canada via formal channels, according to World Bank data" (Migration Policy Institute 6.7.2018).
So, let's check our policies based on the treatment ALL illegal immigrants must be subjected to so that we can truly justify the treatment addressed in this post. Thus, here's my question: is this treatment practiced on our northern boarders, as well, to PROTECT our society?
P. S. Here's the reality, who has been hiring and reaping a fat tax-free/reduced income benefits based on employing these so-called illegals??? Who is the TRUE illegal in this reality???

Rick Sanchez: A mature educated person has the ability to share their point without criticism. If you disagree with me share your point. However, you use a You Tube comment post to issue a defamatory comment against me, who is someone you do not know; thus, actions like that are pathetic, and they are not worth reading. A mature approach conveys new information with me as in teaching me something new. What a sad example of a human being you are displaying due to your rude comment added at the end. Overall, it would be best to re-edit your comment and maybe we can conduct an educational dialogue where we are both able to learn new aspects of an opinion. In addition to this, you do not know me, hence, you do not have ANY right to blatantly use profanity in a way to belittle me simply because you do not agree with a two sentence comment, I wrote, concerning a 55 second synopsis seen in a video clip.
