Nice and clear and up front. If you feel there's no problem with killing an illegal border crosser, then this should be the first thing they do. Yes?

Oh I completely agree... but can you imagine the response from people if we declared that anyone illegally crossing the border would be shot? hahhaha
Although I bet the illegal immigration rate would slow WAAAAY down.
It's all risk vs reward... right now the risk for crossing the border illegally is VERY minimal... barely a slap on the wrist. The reward is fantastic, tax free living in a country with MUCH more wealth. WAAAY better quality of living...
Building fences, walls, whatever will NEVER stop the issue. Either the reward has to be reduced or the risk has to be increased...
