They do the jobs we don't want to for a shot at the American dream. They do not threaten the jobs of all but the most uneducated here.

The entire idea of closing out our borders seems more an effect of paranoia than anything else.
As far as security concerns go, our borders are so vast that if a tango really wants to get in the US, he can. No matter how many troops we put on borders, they will find a way. IMO we will mitigate the most risk by bringing the fight to them rather than trying to police boundries. Weren't the liberals against policing the borders like this in the first place?

Not "close" the border and immigration.
Control. Let in who we want, as many as we want, when we want them.
