The scenes of families being separated on the border are heart-wrenching and definitely should be protested, but the immigration issue needs to be studied on a deeper level. The people supporting increased border security think that it will preserve more jobs for Americans.
But right now we don't have enough people to fill jobs. Soon the cost of food will go up because we don't have enough people to pick crops and work in processing plants. And the the cost of housing is sky high, because even if contractors have permits to build more housing they don't have the people to build it.
In Japan and Russia, their birthrates are getting to the point where their populations will start decreasing. Their economies are already showing signs of long-term stagnation because they don't have enough newI workers coming in.
The same thing will start to happen here. The people supporting increased border security, are really shooting themselves in the foot, because when our economy stagnates because of the lack of workers, we will all be hurting.
