#1 nativist

Really? So if the issue is really humanitarian and concern for the poor obrero how about ....

annexing Mexico and making it a Commonwealth like Puerto Rico. Just think free flow of people, capital, stable economy, ruthless pursuit of corrupt government personnel and agencies, etc. It would help exactly the people you are concerned about. Ah, but that would violate the national sovereignty of that country. So being a Mexican nativist is OK, but an American nativist is a epithet.

#2 Hoover's argument is bogus. The vast majority of the illegals come through the few major, narrow corridors that the Minutemen watch. If those corridors are blocked, the terrain elsewhere is harsh, so a lot fewer illegals will try and penetrate. Huge sections of the border have zero crossings, because the terrain is essentially impassable on vehicle or foot.

A simple but effective effort is now underway to drop boulders on the dirt roads in the less traveled parts of the border more often used by drug smugglers. Even a simplistic approach like this is impressively effective as a deterrent.

Any technique that stops even a little of the illegal crossings helps a lot, because it frees up assets in other areas.
