Reason: Added resource on welfare state issues

The real solution to the immigration problem isn't a wall, its removing the incentive for just anyone to come here.

I don't have a problem with a wall on the border but what is currently there even after Trump had portions of it fixed is still not nearly sufficient due to the massive network of underground trafficking tunnels. If the only solution you want is physical security then it needs to be air, surface, and subterranean.

In the 1800s and 1900s America was able to have a far more open immigration policy because there was no incentive for handouts (welfare state). If you wanted to come here it was because you were willing to work and assimilate into the culture and strive for the America Dream.

I agree at this point due to how many enemies America has as well as how advanced technology has gotten overall that it makes sense to have a more strict immigration policy, as well as certain levels of physical security, because there is a higher chance that bad actors will attempt to come in.

In the end though, fixing our immigration issue will never be fixed by physical security alone. The welfare state has to go as it has destroyed far more lives then it has helped and it only incentives people to come for handouts instead of those people coming with useful skills that will make America a better place for everyone.
