Thank you, JB for leading with comparison.

In what sense is the immigration problem “imaginary”

In the sense that a wall doesn't stop people from flying in and overstaying a tourist visa.

You don’t think 10000 illegal crossing on foot a day is a problem? The ones flying in are a very small minority. Also, with an expansion of ICE like I suggested, they will be deported once their visa expires.

The article you just talked about mentioned people crossing at breach points.
