Can someone answer for me what should be a simple query about the future of the United States?

The question deals with illegal immigration and America's all-but-open border with Mexico. It is informed by the facts that the U.S. has a 10 percent unemployment rate, and that in the last three years more than 22,000 people have died in drug-related violence in Mexico, including Americans, while Mexicans are pouring into the U.S. from drug-ravaged border cities.

The question: Why should there be any disagreement between Democrats and Republicans, or between conservatives and liberals, or between Northerners, Southerners, Texans or Illinoisans, on controlling illegal immigration?
