The issue is not net legal immigration. The issue is illegal immigration and the components of the people in this illegal immigration.
Illegal immigration stems from Mexico along with the other Central American Countries through Mexico. It is NOT only the latter, Mexico has plenty of desperately poor areas that generate lots of illegal immigrants trying to get into the US.
The Mexican govt recognises this and even shamelessly indulges in supporting it:

Its part of the reason, but it has been exacerbated severely by sustained govt consumption and transfer creating massive fiscal strain (the future unfunded liabilities should be more than enough to convince anyone that looks at it without bias) that also extracts massive amounts from productive activity....severely curtailing the level to which private enterprise at all levels can reinvest and expand which will help the real wage.
All because its much more politically correct and popular to make it look like govt programs actually result in achieving their aims.....when in fact govt is a massive inefficient leech that is mostly in the business of burning money and creating self-perpetuating economic environments of vested interests and productivity absorption.
The bigger issue is that they clearly showed how the DNC rigged the system against the non-Hillary candidate.
The democrat party attacked the hackings, tried to connect it to trump....but were unable to deny the material of the emails (forcing several high level resignations).
That is going to bite them pretty badly come election time from the bernie crowd (who are angered and frustrated enough already).
Putin couldn't care less who wins the election, he will work with both of them. But he definitely wants to see Hillary knocked down a few pegs wherever possible...since its harder to do with Trump and the RNC since Trump beat the rigging from that end anyway and Trump does not have a long history of dirty politics like Hillary does (clinton foundation, emailgate and many other things).
Putin is just hedging and gaining diplo-cred where possible. His hackers most definitely have the full emails that hillary "deleted" from her private server....and he is probably blackmailing her right now....or will soon do so at some more opportune time. With Trump he has next to nothing...other than a fresh start and new beginning. Either way works for him....but Clinton and the traitorous democrats that have propped and shielded her are a terrible choice for the US.
Genuinely insane people tend to do pretty badly at business.
I would take the unpredictable guy over the established crooked and corrupt person anytime. At least theres a chance for change....and there is enough checks and balances to keep the legitimate boundaries in play anyway.
China seems to be the much larger instigator in East Asia. Japan is being more responsive after showing caution and patience for how long now?
And how is Hillary going to help smooth anything there between the two anyway? Japan is simply becoming more assertive with or without the US because of China's actions. Its pretty much a non-issue as far as Trump and Hillary are concerned....and more of a what will china do in the long term.
If Japan gets nukes because of Trump coming to power (by getting Japan to take a greater share of its defence burden)...thats a good thing because it will kill the chance of a war actually happening in the area.
