That border will never close because employers want cheap labor and people who won't cause a fuss i.e. join unions so that eliminates hiring Americans.

When Reagan took office in 1980, America had 3 to 4M undocumented people here and people told Reagan to send them back and he said wait let me make a call.

Reagan called his good pal JR Simplot who back then was the number one grower and supplier of potatoes for the grocery and fast food industries but he could never keep workers working his farms so Reagan devised a plan to allow those people to stay if they agreed to harvest potatoes and they did for pennies per day because Simplot didn't pay by the hour he paid by the quota meaning you had to pick a certain amount per day to reach max pay which rarely happened because Simplot set the quota amount to a level you would never reach keeping the pay low.

That's why employers love immigrants illegal or not because they can abuse them and get away with it.
