There is fear. So let’s open the borders and allow a few more evil people to enter our cities, join gangs and live in poverty in our cities.
Wait a minute. What makes you think immigrants are criminals? Statistics show that most immigrants want to work for a living, and don't want to be on public assistance. They receive fewer benefits per capita than American citizens do. They commit crimes at a lower rate than American citizens do. They want to stay off the radar. They don't want to get caught for ANYTHING, for fear of deportation.

That is not necessarily true. It does describe some, but it is disingenuous to assume it is all. Many rich people and/or politicians have no walls, no gates, no armed guards. They don't always have these things because they are not needed everywhere. It all depends on where you live, and how prosperous a region is. If capitalism has abandoned a region, then that usually depresses the area. The capitalists made their money while the getting was good and then moved on. They provided incomes for a region for a while, and then poof they were gone like turning off a light switch. The people who worked the jobs and raised families were left behind. If there is not enough work for everybody then that is a recipe for crime. That is only logical, and another reason why we need to regulate capitalism more strongly. People and local governments are often used as pawns for greedy capitalists, then discarded when no longer advantageous. That is a very bad aspect of capitalism. It does not make our country great. That kind of capitalism hurts the USA and it hurts Americans.
There are certainly lots of capitalists who don't give a you know what. 'They are all millionaires who live in the best neighborhoods, have alarms, fences, walls and armed guards to protect their ass.'
