I just watched a video on the border... Sadly it was kinda biased towards stronger borders, and I didnt like the bias. But there is one fair point... people who jump the border push back the delays towards people doing it through the legal system from outside the legal way. So the more we allow them to jump the border the more it hurts those trying to immigrate in from poverty.

That said, the other side (which the videodidnt touch on) is that we dont really give good access to people through legal means (in part because of what I mentioned above, but thats not all the problem)..  

So while I would support a secure border I would only do so if we also make an effort to make access to getting here much easier.
