Ok, it's the "earn a living" argument. In the sub-Sahara, earning a living is probably the equivalent of $300.00 / year or so and most would never come here.
The steady flood of immigrants from South of the border has nothing to do with earning a living. It has everything to do with a huge standard of living difference, separated by something as trivial as a border. And the same differences have driven population migrations from the beginning of time. History is full of examples of people moving for a better life, the more recent in this country being the massive immigration from Europe into this country over the past 300 or so years, the gold & silver rushes out west and the move westward. If we want to stop immigration from South of the border then we need to figure out a way to improve their economy.
