Immigration doesn't.
Illegal immigration does.
And unlimited immigration does.
It isn't immigration which is the issue, it is illegal immigration which is the issue.
It dilutes the job market, increases crime, increases health problems and presents a security risk.Why is illegal immigration such a problem to some people? I'm not saying it means nothing.
I would entertain the idea of adding mexico to the union, because a country with that amount of resources would be pretty much unstoppable.
I don't think an expensive 'wall' as suggested by Trump is the answer. I would rather see a lighted chain link/razor wire fence, manned by security forces all along it's length. Guard dogs would augment the security personnel.
Bright lights would illuminate the southern area at night while the northern area would be dark to any illegals who approach. The open wire would allow complete visibility at all times. Lighting costs would be reduced greatly by the use of pv systems.
The primary cost would be personnel, which would be provided by active duty Armed Services, state National Guard units, law enforcement, and dedicated border guard units. Since these personnel are already being paid there would be little or no cost for their service.
Whole military units could be deployed to remote sectors of the fence and conduct field training exercises in conjunction with fence duty. It would be good training for fighting in the deserts of the middle east.
If remote sectors show little or no illegal activity personnel could be reduced or redeployed to problem areas as needed. Military transport units would also rotate in for training, ensuring the quick mobility of personnel as needed.
This plan would minimize the cost of infrastructure and maximize the effectiveness by allowing more 'boots on the ground'. Thus the 'barrier' to entry would be invested more in personnel than an expensive, easily breached, unguarded wall.
Think of your country if, say, 25% of its population was made up of mainly undereducated recent arrivals who did not speak your language, living who knows where, using a variety of names, needing health care and education for the kids, and so on, and working in the underground economy during a time of national unemployment...and no ability of the government to regulate the flow into the country, to screen for communicable illnesses, or to intercept criminals engaged in running contraband or planning terrorist attacks. Some people have compared it to fertilizing your lawn. Yes, fertilizer makes everything stronger and better, but not if you pour pounds of it on the lawn every day.Why is illegal immigration such a problem to some people? I'm not saying it means nothing.

Right now the law reads that the government will impose a $10,000 fine for each illegal employee. That law is not enforced. Why hasn't it been? Because even large corp. such as Brown and Root (Halliburton) have knowingly employed illegals.also punish anybody who hires illegals severely
Oh We already have such a law? We need to be enforcing that, but I wouldn't be surprised if Haliburton spends a few million every year for a propaganda media campaign to distract people from the working illegals by pointing out the probably handful of non-working criminal ones.Right now the law reads that the government will impose a $10,000 fine for each illegal employee.

Corps. lobby in Washington and donate huge amounts of money to SuperPacs that support election candidates.Oh We already have such a law?

I was painting you a picture of what's to come if we do not decide to do anything to slow or inhibit illegal immigration. You asked what's wrong with it, and the answer surely has to account for what's developing. Few people are outraged by the thought of a small number of illegals. That's not really the issue.The US population is 25% is illegal immigrants? I'm not sure that's true.
We are going to have people guarding the border sitting in heavy equipment? OKThink large construction equipment. A lot of the hard labor can be done with heavy equipment. Nobody will need to dig fence posts or lift heavy fencing by hand.
