Richard Haass on Building the Wall: Trump Is Fixing a Problem that Mostly Doesn’t Exist

EXCERPT:

CAMEROTA: “Right, it’s the unintended consequences that you, of course, are steeped in, having studied this through different administrations. But to him, it makes it more orderly to have a wall along the border. We stop illegal immigration.” 
HAASS: “But he’s fixing a problem that mostly doesn’t exist. For the last few years, more Mexicans have gone back to Mexico than have come into the United States.” 
CUOMO: “Say it again, because nobody knows or believes what you’re saying right now.” 
HAASS: “We don’t have this great influx of Mexicans. What’s happened over the last few years is the Mexican economy has grown faster than the American economy. Mexican families are smaller, so what’s happening is more and more young Mexican men in particular are staying home. We do not have a net inflow, we have a net outflow."
