Being immigration such an issue - or has been made an issue but it is not really that much of an issue in a country with raising wages and pretty much only frictional unemployment and little public healthcare or other expensive state expenses of the like, my question is why did Trump trumped the the trumping of illegal border crossings?

You know that joke about consultants that point to a problem you do not have and make sure you understand that they are the only ones that can solve it and charge you for it?
