Some want to reduce illegal immigration. Some want to expedite it by processing it faster.
What some people never seem to figure out is the concept of unintended consequences. Or, what message is being sent, and therefore what happens next.
Giving prepaid debit cards away free to people whom have crossed our borders illegally, and setting up and advertising such things as "sanctuary cities," create magnets for much much more of the same. These things do not solve a problem. They put a band-aid on the immediate crisis, but ensure the underlying problem will become much more severe.
You can look at a map of the world, and you see little lines around all the countries. These are called borders. Some wonder why we can't have these things called borders, without them being systematically erased due to bad policy.
