And those that overstay their visas are an issue. They take jobs away from Americans. Mostly jobs at the bottom of the economic ladder, so mostly impact Americans of color.
But the much bigger issue are the illegal aliens who cannot cross the border legally, who cannot pass thru a point of entry, because they have no legally recognized reason to come here, or because they are carrying 20 kilos of drugs, or because they are known criminals.
The wall keeps out the worst of the worst
And those that overstay their visas are an issue. They take jobs away from Americans. Mostly jobs at the bottom of the economic ladder, so mostly impact Americans of color, so any support for illegal aliens is racist.

The wall keeps out the worst of the worst - those who cannot get thru customs. The wall keeps out (most of) the people coming here for welfare. The wall keeps out (most of) the drugs. The wall keeps out (most of) the cartels. These things have the biggest detrimental effects on our inner cities, effecting predominantly people of color.
Build the wall. Prosecute those who hire illegal aliens. End welfare for illegal aliens. These 3 things and it's fixed.
Anyone who claims that the wall is nothing more than a symbol is racist against Americans of color.
