There seems to be a general consensus that there is an immigration crisis along the southern border. The only question is what is the best way to deal with the problem. But is it really a problem? The only statistic I could find is that there is more crime committed by native born Americans than from immigrants. Are immigrants (legal or illegal) coming across the southern border a problem, are they beneficial to the American economy, or is it a wash?
Just looking for ammunition for arguing with conservative friends.

Frankly, we need to forget about a wall and build a gateway (or several). Imagine, a place where there are places for people to stay, workers to help them get through the process, a school for the kids while applications are in process and a whole lot of caseworkers to facilitate things.
We can do this.
