As I've stated here before, I didn't realize how big a deal this was for you guys until I saw multiple posts about it on a forum. People got in line behind him when Trump talked about getting rid of NAFTA and building a wall. It drove some of them to vote for him, and it gave me an education about what challenges America was facing.


Americans want border security, and the numbers show it

President Trump is far from alone in his determination to secure our borders — according to a recent Gallup poll, Americans view immigration as the second-biggest problem facing the country today.

That’s bad news for the Democrat Party, which is hellbent on opposing the president’s efforts to fix our broken immigration system, especially the border wall he needs in order to get illegal immigration under control.

Of course. Everyone does.
Just not a wall.

No one's interfering with Trump helping to craft some kind of immigration BILL! That's total BS! The Republicans were totally in charge for a couple years and they could have taken care of it back then! They're the ones opposed to any real legislation because that would entail compromise! That's a dirty word "on the right!" There was no excuse since the Dems were already "at the table" trying to deal with the situation; esp. with "The Dreamers!" Find someone else to blame or maybe "look in the mirror!"

Democrats keep lying about the lack of support for the border.

We spend $600B on defense a year. Apparently he can order the military to build the wall using something like 5% of that….

Why hasn’t he done it?

That's rich; LIARS calling out the voracity of OTHERS!

He might just end up doing that. Then it will get held up in Federal Court!

Building the wall will mean a major win for Trump. Democrats don't want Trump winning the election in 2020, so no wall.

No. Democrats don't want a wall just as Republicans don't either.

House Republicans’ bad faith push to pass immigration reform is dead

You like polls, eh?
Poll: Majorities oppose Trump's wall funding demand, call for compromise

Most Americans don't support building the wall

The basis of the story you posted, "according to a recent Gallup poll, Americans view immigration as the second-biggest problem facing the country today."

People seeing immigration as a problem doesn't mean they see building a wall as the solution. I view vehicle accidents as a problem that doesn't mean I support banning driving. Basically, the Fox news article took a fact and twisted to support their agenda.

As for getting rid of NAFTA...we can see how that played out. We got NAFTA 2.0 which is almost the same as the original version.

Nowhere in that article does Fox or the author say that people see building Trump's wall as the solution. Nowhere. You lied sir, Fox didn't twist anything.

And show me where NAFTA 2.0 is almost the same as the original. Is that your opinion, or did you read it on HuffPo or hear it on MSNBC?

Several times I have pointed out how Schumer, Obama, Clinton and many other Dem Senators voted to fund a 700-mile stretch border wall back in 2006. It wasn't ineffective or immoral then, so why is it different now? I won't hold my breath waiting for a cogent reply.

Trump promised us a wall and he generally keeps his campaign promises. The hypocritical dems spent $40b on the current wall/fence, which is not as effective as needed, and the new wall will be more effective. We don't want gangs like MS-13 nor the drug trafficking, nor the load on social services and education system, nor the "remittances" being sent back to Mexico. We also don't want the thousands of people heading to the US in caravans that intend to overwhelm the border guards.
We want illegal immigration stopped, and the wall is needed.

USMCA? Thats easy, better access to Mexican and Canadian markets. Dairy farmers in Canada are still crying as the socialist nation of Canada decided to they "bestow" more market access to it's citizens in the form of increased competition in dairy.

They've already bumped the prices of Canadian milk in expectation of cheaper U.S milk. This alone is worth many billions to U.S dairy farmers.

That's just one quick issue as I am multi tasking but wanted to respond.

That is hardly bad news for Democrats. Trump tried to make immigration the issue in the midterms and support for Democrats increased as they took over the House and lost only 2 seats in the Senate in a year in which Republicans had the best map in many years. The rise is largely among Republicans. Among Democrats and independents, there is a small rise.

Another Gallup finding.51% of Americans support taking in Central American refugees vs 43% who oppose it.
U.S. Support for Central American Refugees Exceeds Norm

Democrats keep lying about the lack of support for the border.

Americans do not support a wall. Not even Rasmussen can make a poll that does that.

Actually no... Congress has no authority, under a state of emergency, to do anything for 6 months at which time it can only review the presidents actions and make recommendations. They will have no standing for 6 months to do anything.

Democrats keep lying about the lack of support for the border.

Americans do not support a wall. Not even Rasmussen can make a poll that does that.

Almost 78% of people in 5 different polls want the wall... This is not a winning issue for democrats. Keep lying.. 2020 is going to be a blow out for you..

Right. The thread title is a misrepresentation.

Scientific polls? No, that's a lie.
