The reason a wall is needed is because.....

[fncceo]

Besides, each individual illegal costs the American taxpayer on AVERAGE, $70 K

Where can I sign up to be illegal? I could use the pay raise.

Orrrrr you could use the money for more immigration courts so we can actually process these cases .

Since a wall does nothing for catch and release.

It's not a case of either/or. It's a case of a barrier, and other immigration reform. In lieu of no reform coming in the immediate future, a barrier is a great place to start!

Sure it is . We don’t have unlimited funds .

We do for endless wars, bank failures, etc., etc.
Besides, each individual illegal costs the American taxpayer on AVERAGE, $70 K!
That is most likely an underestimate.

Which they will still be able to get even with a wall...

The policy of catch and release is why a wall is needed. What good does it do to use all kinds of technology to detect illegal immigration when government policy is to just release them anyway?.

No, a barrier is what is needed.

What is sad is, Eisenhower proved that all that is needed are policies to deter illegal immigration so as not to hire them if they come to the US via his Operation Wet Back program. During his administration, the government simply made sure that illegals were not hired and they self deported.

The problem today is, though, the government is divided. Government will no longer be united like this to combat illegal immigrants from being hired, nor can those in government be trusted to send back those detained so they can be released again.

So yes, sadly, a wall is needed.

They are pouring in through our southern border at the astounding rate of 6 per year.

We can only save our country from this massive invasion by spending at least $20,000,000,000.00

For sure.

Perhaps some outposts on the border can put an end to illegal immigration ... a series of 'forts' as it were.

As I said, Eisenhower already proved with Operation Wetback the government can make illegals self deport, but there is no longer the will in government to do that.

Why then should we trust them to use the court system to send any back, especially with catch and release going on?

No, a wall is a beautiful thing because it cannot be ignored, you can't lie about it, it is either a barrier or it is not. There is no change no matter who is in government and even if they desire more illegals into the country.

Most who are here illegally came here legally. The wall will do nothing to stop them.

A wall is needed because conservatives fear indigenous people. More humane that giving them smallpox I suppose.

Well we are making sure our whites get opioids and the public water supply is knowingly toxic in various locations around the country. People still can't see what's going on; that their/our immunity was only economically expedient temporally. The first thing the euros did when they came here was what the Inquisition had been all about; altering the perceptual reality of the people who were here.

They were tribal peoples as were the original European indigenous peoples, and did not have the “right” values or the “right” spiritual practice. In short, they did not perceive of the universe and their role in life in the “proper” manner. So they, in both instances, were slaughtered and beaten into submission over generations; until they perceived life and the world and the purpose of the human being as was dictated by the conqueror.

Sooner or later, if that is the mindset a society is founded upon, you will be on the menu, better if your society fomented your racist views such that you cannot envision your only possible ultimate allies.

My friends? There were over 4,000, but only 6 at the southern border?

If you spend $20,000,000,000.00 at the southern border how much will you pay for the other 3,994?

$20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.00?
