What an education you could get if you only READ this thread!
Not everybody shares your reasons - or pretexts for wanting a wall. You are extremely obstinate. If I show you the inherent weakness of your argument, you will swear and be damned I'm some kind of heretic ("for" open borders, liberal, left wing - despite Trump telling you the left was for this wall crap before the build the wall guys came along.)
Anyway, ALL the government figures show that improper entry was consistently going down, thereby destroying any argument in favor of a "National Emergency." Since most people, including you, are willingly doing business with the undocumented foreigners and they aren't coming here with guns, intending to forcibly take anything, your emotional laden invasion language is dishonest and inaccurate.
"Legal" migration leads to citizenship - point I clearly do not understand coming from you. The feds have no authority over immigration, only NATURALIZATION. Coming here "legally" is inadvertent code for citizenship since the states (constitutionally speaking) decide who comes and goes.
Your buddy Trump says he will build a wall and then increase the numbers of people he would allow to come in a be citizens. The BIG picture eludes you, doesn't it?
1.
Illegal Immigration By Families Hits All-Time Record In September
Found out we can't legally imprison families longer than 20 days they rush the border.
2. Trump would increase migrants based on merit. Means only accept those we need vs those without job skills.
As I continue to repeatedly point out, if foreigners had no unalienable Rights, it would be perfectly acceptable for you to go out and put a bullet in them. The reality is, they DO have unalienable Rights. As the Declaration of Independence puts it:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable Rights, that among these are
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Unalienable Rights are those Rights that you are born with. NO government can take them from you - not Donald Trump, not you, not anyone. And who is welcome in America? Have you ever seen the words at the base of the Statue of Liberty?
""Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
That is the welcome mat to come into the United States. The arguments you make are socialist arguments. But, don't despair. There are
constitutional ways that will give you most of what you look for without a wall; without socialism; without Donald Trump. It won't keep all of the little brown people you don't like out, but even in Jesus time Canaanites came in despite there being THREE WALLS. The caravans are a political stunt to make you react, Pavlovian style, like a hungry dog when his master calls out here boy.
