You mean that man who said he'd tell people whatever they wanted to hear to get elected? Surely not!

Ask the families of Sabrina Starr, Ronald da Silva, Ingrid Lake, Tessa Tranchant, Sarah Root, Shayley Estes, Drew Rosenberg or Grant Ronnebeck to name just a small few who might have an opinion on that idea.

It boggles my mind that people circumvent the reality of the situation by arguing over who will pay for the wall/barrier/fence. The fact is the thing has not been built and no money has been allocated for it so nobody knows who will pay for it.
Instead of a discussion about who will pay for it, the discussion should be about the reality of foreign nationals freely crossing the boarder of a sovereign state. If you are ok with that, say so. If not, what is the answer?

Small few is right compared to the national violent crime statistics. A wall is not the answer, it's a monument to fear and stupidity.

Stop kidding yourself. That's just a small few examples that I took the time to look up. There are many many more victims of illegal immigration but I guess to you they're acceptable losses just as long as it sticks it to Donald Trump right? Because after all the Democrats were supposedly in favor of border security (at least they gave it lip service) right up until he started advocating it, then suddenly its "immoral".

If we build the wall on the Mexican side, with Mexican labor, I think that go fund me should just about cover it.
Or maybe Trump should make all asset forfeitures go to paying for the wall instead of buying new APCs for Barney Fife?

That's not a bad idea. Maybe they can start with the criminal Clinton Foundation eh?

About this wall.
Most of us if not everyone is thinking political or human. Have any of us(I didn't until I read about this)ever thought about the animal who take the tour from south to north or viceversa ? A wall the size Trump wants would prevent those animals entering their areas. Markus |

Well there could be a way around the current impasse.

There are a variety of reasons why people on the left oppose any kind of physical barrier on the border. This guy suggests one glaring possibility. Quote:

Getting people and goods across the border is a big business. Do you really think they'll just stop because there's a wall in the way? Just Last edited by Dowly; 01-06-19 at 12:11 PM. |
