It might seem intuitively obvious that fixing our southern border is just a matter of building a wall high enough and long enough. However, the facts are that about half of the illegal immigrant in the US do not sneak across our southern border. They enter by cars, trucks, air, and boat which a 25 billion dollar wall will have no effect.I think you'll find plenty of republican as well as democrat owned business that hope to keep their cheap illegal immigrant labor. In the 1996 immigration bill, republicans weaken the law to allow businesses to hire illegals.Probably because its known that Toronto and Vancouver have plenty of fine women.
So you believe that Mexico doesn’t have “plenty of fine women”?
It’s hard to understand The Liberal Leftist motivation, do they want to help the Latin Immigrants or do they want them to work for cheap?
It sounds like they want cheap illegal labor. Sad indictment on the left.
In fact, many immigration issues do not follow party lines. This is one of the reason both parties don't really want comprehensive immigration bills. It takes a coalition to pass them and neither party wants to get into that.
Yes that’s true, our own IRS issues ITIN’s to this day which allows Illegals to work for anyone. I personally benefit and I voted for Trump, if we don’t fix our Southern Border we will lose. Both parties are responsible and yet we as voters don’t hold them responsible, fix immigration and you take away the cheap labor argument.
The American people are the victims. Look our political systems are broken and have no real interest in what’s best for you or me. Our current POTUS is exposing their crap and they hate him for it.
Secondly, an impenetrable wall may work well keeping illegal immigrants out but it also prevents them from returning home.
We need to secure our southern border. First, we need to select the right security for each area. In some places, it will be nothing more than a see-thru 10 foot fence. In other places it will be a reinforced 18 foot steel fence, and maybe in some places a 25 foot wall and still other places it will be electronic surveillance, always dependent on the location and topology.
Secondly, we need to stop people from coming to the border to apply for asylum. That can be done by allowing them to apply for asylum at an embassy or even a consulate in their own country.
One of the many changes to immigration that Dims refuse to pass.
You mean you want to turn the US into a shit hole that isn't attractive for people to live in?Lastly we should attack the reason why people are willing to travel two thousand miles on foot just for a slim chance of asylum. We are spending more money on border security and detention camps for them than the entire GDP of Honduras and El Salvador. It seems to me it would make sense to spend just a small percent of this to eliminate some of the reasons why these people are leaving their homes.
