Is the United States being "invaded" by migrants?

Whether you have sympathy for migrants or not, whether they are illegal or not, can the country support the amount of people who want to live here? What can be done at the border other than pushing them into Mexico? You can’t say “don’t come”. That doesn’t work. People are going to come here if they think America represents a better life than where they came from. People are going to come here as long as they can send money home to their families in a poorer country. Is trying to stop the flood of migrants like trying to put out a wildfire with a watering can?

The only real way to stop them coming would be to improve the countries they’re coming from so they don’t want to leave. Easier said than done…is an understatement.
