You don't get to avoid discussions because you don't want to address a position because you don't like the source. That's a fallacious argument.

Border companies too difficult for you? They are businesses that are located near the southern border. They rely on Mexican labor and Mexican business. Even you have to admit the shopping mall mass shooting in Texas was an example of a mall(a bunch of businesses) was deliberately located at the border to get workers and customers.
I bet if you had a pang of honesty, you would admit that you know Latino seasonal workers are employed by big Agriculture near the borders.
The people who live near the border mostly speak Spanish and they go to Mexican businesses. They are especially used for medical and dental.
Have you got any evidence that "illegal smuggling is funded by border companies and agribusiness"?

Everyone on either side of the border is not to impressed by a 'border.'
They live and use the services on both sides.
Shutting the border for business will crush the business of US-Mexico on the border.

Agreed.
Not bragging, but my Bachelor degree was in Behavioral Psychology. Although mine was a military aviation career, I always maintained an interest in the field of study. Yes, I was able to apply it in my career and life, but I never did actual work (research) in the field.
I've been online since 1986 when there were BBS's using 300 baud modems...you could actually see the words type across the screen as the other person responded.
In those days we'd meet once a quarter, drink beer and share software on 5.25" discs, later 3.5" discs. I wasn't political forums until around 2008. Since then, and getting to the point, I've noticed that there seems to be more mentally ill people online than in real life (IRL). In some ways I think it might not be mental illness but an example of "a drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts". The mask of anonymity of online forums allows people to say their true thoughts without fear of recrimination. That point aside, and I do believe it's the most common reason some people are bigoted, biased assholes regardless of political affiliation, my observations over the years tell me that there are, indeed, a higher number of truly mentally ill people online.
Here's my theory on why: anyone with access to the Internet can log on to a forum. People shut in behind locked doors of a private mental facility, retirement home or group home can access computers. Even if a person, and notice there's lot of elderly people online, is living with their adult child, due to health, they can't get out much and the Internet is their access to the world. Their primary access.
Last point: people who are angry and/or hateful are often in pain. Most people are good. A happy person is often good. An unhappy person often is not good. These are generalities, so individuals vary, but it's not that hard to look at others on this forum and form a general opinion on their behavior.
