Border control isn't THE issue in the upcoming election. Trump would like it to be, if only because he has nothing of substance to bring to the table except for his irrational xenophobia.
And you bought into it.
Hey, /u/cowboyhaze, did you know there is a Mexican under every little white girl's bed? It's true. I mean why wouldn't there be? The border is wide open for the brown people to just waltz on over and rape all your white women.

For a lot of Americans immigration is THE ISSUE. The political class is out of touch with white America. California is majority latino now. When is enough, enough? How many more should we take?
Immigration from the southern border brings gangs, a drain on benefits, lower wages. Nice for the farmers to have their crops picked for cheap but that will be soon done by robots. Politicians have the misguided hope that more warm bodies in the country will help pay the bills on the promises they have made to the older generation. Ain't gonna happen.
Eventually America will look like South American counties. Able Whites at the top of the food chain, masses of angry brown people with grievances and poor quality whites at the bottom. That's how it shakes out. Take a look at the leadership in Central America. Just about all have obvious European/Spanish/Asian blood.

Just because a small minority of people have an irrational fear of brown people does not make this THE ISSUE.
It might be THE ISSUE for those few irrational people. The rest of us understand that the odds of being murdered by an illegal immigrant are statistically insignificant.
You're probably more likely to be killed by your wife. Why don't we write your congress critter about her?
