    both parties in the US are active in advertising the need for tighter, stronger borders to keep out those ‘illegals’

    most US citizens are unaware of the true reasons that are keeping the borders closed

    if people moved more freely then so would ideas and other cultures and that would bring change to election results that would shake the two-party sham to its core

    same reason the minimum wage is kept at $7.25 along with poor education standards

    people making living wages that also have sufficient education would realize both parties are actively against the progress of the US citizens

      This sounds well-reasoned but truth is most (probably 90%+) migrants want to assimilate or intend to return home. That this is about controlling ideas I sincerely doubt.
