I think people are taking Trump's "wall" too literally. Of Croce it's going to be a fence or some other baracade, especially in arias that currently don't have so much as armed wire.
As for tat poor man looking for work, crossing the border is just the first crime he commits. Then, in order to get a job, he has to use forged documents or identity theft. Then possibly drive a car without a valid drivers license or insurance. If he brings his children with him the grow up in a country where they don't belong and are not legally eligible for education, drivers licenses, a job, etc. it's a shame how these kids have been put into such situations by their parents.
Anyway, it's not just a "poor man looking for work".
