Well, when you mix politics with sales you're committing suicide.I'm a little sorry to hear that Ben & Jerry's has been sold. Not too long ago I heard about them making some progressive statement about something--thought they were still in charge. Bummage.Possibly that the Wall isn't that great an idea?I don't have to pay attention to what the Dems are saying--I'm an Independent.Are you seriously telling me that you had no idea that there are Democrat out there screaming that it would be immoral to build a wall on our Southern border.
If that is true, then you aren't really paying attention to the discussion.
And no the wall wouldn't solve everythign, but it would solve 90+% of the problem. Take the Israel/Egypt wall, for example. Once completed there have been ZERO cases of people getting across that border illegally.
And since you and I are both basing our opinions on what we THINK will happen in the future, there is no way of knowing or any way to end this argument.
Is there?
Oh I think we know exactly what the future holds. Congress is NEVER going to fund that fucking wall. Neither Republicans nor Democrats in Congress want it. The fact that they are in agreement on that should tell us all something.
No-no-don't hit me. I'm half joking. I have no idea why they've had approval for a Wall since Clinton and yet they've never funded it. That's a long time. They still don't want it. And since the Democrats have not been in the majority all that time, it is not just the Democrats who don't want it.
Oh I know it's not just Democrats who don't want a wall. I have said as much several times. And it''s obvious that both sides are pandering to donors.
I mean sure it's a little bit about getting in new voters for the Democrats too, but primarily it's big business loving illegal immigration because it suppresses wages. I know the popular perception is that big businesses are all in the GOP camp, but that is obviously not true. I would , for example, bet you money that the new owners of Ben & Jerry ice cream have illegal aliens working for them. Want to make that bet? Of course not, because you are a reasonable person and know it is likely true.
These companies do NOT want to suddenly have to start paying wages that Americans are willing to work for and they will fight tooth and nail to prevent a wall which would vastly decrease their labor supply which in turn would vastly raise the cost of labor to them.
