Hoards don't walk through already lol. The majority of illegal immigrants enter our country through overstaying visas or being smuggled in by coyotes.
Might make it a bit harder for the coyotes to do their job, but they'll manage. Expect a drop until the first tunnel is built.
If we really want to solve this problem of illegal immigration permanently, there's basically two options. We can either cease the subsidization of our agriculture and compete fairly in the market, or we can offer citizenship to undocumented immigrants. The first option will likely never happen because politics is dominated by special interest groups, so amnesty seems to be the most realistic option.

or maybe it's to keep morons like you who think that everyone who disagrees with them is fascist out of power, considering you would benefit from having a bigger base of Latinos "immigrating" from big-government, practically authoritarian countries

escaping from authoritarian country = supporting authoritarianism?

wouldn't getting rid of nafta just make things more expensive for everyone? like i get the whole protectionist thing but how is getting rid of nafta a good idea? is it supposed to be good for business? i don't think so, businesses benefit from the cheap markets in mexico. is it supposed to be good for consumers? i don't think that's the case either, because trade barriers just make things more expensive for them too
who benefits from destroying nafta other than people who just want to punish mexico for like...being a stuff country
