The economic pressure of all those immigrants flooding into the U.S. is not why the U.S. has problems. In 1910 the top 1 percent of America received more than one third of all the wealth. Today that top 1 percent controls nearly 40% of all the wealth in America. You can assume that the Border between the U.S and Mexico played little to no part in this. The Log Cabin Myth states that 40% of Presidents hail from the upper class, another 40% between Upper and Upper Middle Class, and just one President, Andrew Johnson came from the lower class.

The Upper 1% of America controls 40% of the wealth and literally controls the seats in government. If you think the problems in the economy have anything to do with the Mexican American Border, maybe you should reread the lines in bold.
The upper class elite propagate this fear of the Immigrants and Terrorists flooding in, that they are stealing our jobs. Why is it all the facts point to an elite class of Americans who are doing anything to stay on top.

Who cares about the border when the economy is going down the drain?
