A great promotional video for why this country needs Trump's wall.

(Brought to you by MSNBC no less!)

The wall would work to keep some illegals out, some is better than none.

We know it has to be a combination of things to keep most of them out. We should just man the border with orders to shoot those that refuse to stop. We should assume that anyone trying to enter the country isn't doing it for our good.

Trump, after talking with experts, tweaked it to wall, fencing, electronic surveillance, natural barriers and increased border patrol agents. It is critical that we give border patrol agents what they need to get the job done too!

Gun turrets and a moat loaded with gators would be a nice addition.

Sounds quaint, but someone trying to come through the border is not usually committing a capital offense. Catch, fine, and return them to their country of origin is what is called for. I believe that is what Mexico and most Central and South American countries do.

It has to be a capital offense in order to secure our border? Allowing them to get in here in the first place costs us tax dollars to remove them. Better to stop them with a physical barrier before they get in here.

Considering the number of those that commit capital offenses once here, whatever it takes to get the job done!

https://cis.org/Examination-US-Immig...-Serious-Crime
ICE releases 19,723 criminal illegals, 208 convicted of murder, 900 of sex crimes

I truly don't care what Mexico and most Central and South American countries do where these lawless people come in from. They don't have the problems that we do with the mooches coming in, not to mention the serious criminals fleeing their own countries where they have committed murder, of which ICE has been picking up several and flying them home on a charter flight paid for by US taxpayers!

Just stop them! Some really bad people are coming in, murderers, and not just a couple either. They flee here for "sanctuary"!

I consider what has been going on across our border an Invasion by another country.

Maybe only in my mind but, I believe that this (invasion) calls for our military guarding the border and a separate wall to accommodate a firing squad!

Scenario: RUSSIA (omg) decides to take over America ...

Not to mention the time it takes to deport them over and over. We shouldn't have to do that anyway. I heard that there are 90 something excuses............ I mean asylum reasons that they can use to enter the USA and hop on the welfare train. I can't hardly believe there are that many. Does anyone know how many there really are? I was watching a doc one time and this huge family was on there, and the woman said they couldn't go back to Mexico because they would go hungry. So they got to stay here! They were too heavy to get up and do their happy dance. They had to do it sitting down!

The "colonization of America" by these invaders, and yes, it is past time to put troops on the border to stop the people and drugs entering illegally!
