10. Yes. Very different because many poor Central Americans and Mexicans are fleeing across the border to

work in American factories, construction, service indiustries, agriculture, meat processing, and every other job Americans refuse to do for the wages being offered, just to stay alive and send money to their families back home.

And they're being hired by American companies, probably Trump supporters, who then demagogue about "illegals" to convince your rancher friends to support the very same policies that created illegal immigration in the first place.

And the violence and chaos is primarily the result of illegal drugs being brought across the border to satisfy Americans' drug habits. And the guns responsible for all the killing along the border are being manufactured and illegally sold by American gun manufacturers.

And if your rancher friends don't want hordes of desperate, starving immigrants streaming across their land, cutting fences and doing property damage, maybe they should support a humane legal immigration policy, not hunt immigrants down like animals and put them in cages and detention centers.

And remind your rancher friends the land they now "own" used to belong to another country, stolen at the point of a gun from the same people they now love to hate.

Your complaints are as old as America itself. Every single wave of immigrants that came into this country, long before immigration laws even existed, was met with the same sort of open hostility by people who themselves were immigrants only a few years before. We seem to have forgotten our history.
