Food for thought....

However, in a way, both sides are arguing for the stabilization of the U.S. economy. How they want it to become stable is where they disagree. One believes that a way to alter the economy is to allow immigrants in to do the jobs that Americans don’t want. Another side believes that we should increase border control and allow more Americans more opportunities.

So if we were to increase border control, how would America appear to others if we didn’t try to help underdeveloped countries? If immigrants are putting into the economy as much as they take out, do they really have an effect on the economic system? If they don't, are they the real problem at hand?
