Illegal immigration is a massive problem because of how crappy our legal immigration is.

The wall would be a pointless endeavour. I guess it would give illegal immigrants jobs, so maybe not completely pointless. Massive immigration reform sounds really good though.
Still does not stop any and everyone who wants to here. Even with the most massive change in policy, there will still be law breakers.
How can a country be called a country without securing its borders?

America has secure borders by international standards. Even if we were to erect a mountainous, impenetrable wall along the Mexican border, people would just come in boats. If the Mediterranean Sea can't keep migrants out of Europe, a wall won't keep them out of America.

A wall will do better then no wall.It's like saying

That's a bad comparison. How many countries can you point to that have the sort of border defenses that you're advocating?
It was a great comparison you are downplaying it.
We advertise for people to come here.
Your avoiding the issue.
Does Germany promise citizenship and entitlement for immigrants?

I'm not an expert in German immigration, nor did I pretend to be. I'm only discussing our immigration policy, since that's the ulterior angle of this thread.

It's a terrible comparison because you're suggesting that the United States has abnormally low border security when the opposite is true. Most borders in the world are either porous and poorly controlled (ex: Afghanistan-Pakistan, Syria-Iraq, most African countries) or peaceful and relaxed (ex: US-Canadian border, borders in Europe). Borders that do have serious defenses are rare, and generally crop up in countries with dictatorships, or in critical points like Melilla or Gibraltar.I'm not an expert in German immigration, nor did I pretend to be.

So when did Bardock become an expert in U.S. Immigration? Your just as smart as him, it's not that hard to read about German immigration laws.
Not even Mexico offers citizenship to Americans unless you go through a 5 year process and pay a ton of money.
Why should people here, break the law and get a kid born here and then have all the rights as an American Citizen?
Does Mexico treat Americans well?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'does Mexico treat Americans well?' Do you mean the Mexican government, the Mexican people? I know you like to focus on a few cases where Americans run afoul of Mexican corruption and ignore all the hundreds of thousands of Americans who vacation in Mexico without serious trouble.

I wouldn't say I am an expert either. I assume I have read more about U.S. immigration than OV about German immigration, if alone because it's a much less discussed issue.
