Put the illegals that are in jail to build the wall. Teach them a lesson not to do anything illegal. If they escape , they won't come back.

Yes, and that is the ONLY thing I agree with Trump on. We are being overrun.

Quoting Donald Trump:


“People are pouring across our borders, which is horrible,” Trump said. “We have to build a wall. Who would — look, I build some of the greatest buildings in the world. Building a wall for me is easy. And it would be a wall. It would be a real wall. Not a wall that people walk over.”


[Like Trump, I would definitely build a truly secure wall, too. It's absurd that we have let millions and millions of illegal aliens simply cross over from Mexico into the United States without undergoing any background check or doing any vetting on them whatsoever.]
Nothing new. The notable person to advocate a wall was Pat Buchanan.

With that said, what's wrong with the fences along the border now? Has Trump seen these fences? Just keep building/extending that fence.

[barriers don't have to be solid to be effective]

The truth is most of the barrier is up, but we need to bridge the gap of use more tech. to watch those difficult areas and or high traffic.

The Big problem as I expressed with several Sheriffs Departments, is we need all law enforcement from the city to the State and the Federal Level. The Courts have made decisions that protect Illegals, not Citizens.

We as a country will have to break a few eggs to make this Omelet.

Well if you are going to rag on 1 president, then at least admit your heroes did nothing also. Is that so hard?

Ill be the first to admit it. Last good Republican President was Mr. Regan. I do believe though, if we had a wimp for President after 911 we would have been in a lot worse shape. Our current great one can't even run a kool-aid stand, let alone fake tough.

Come to think of it our current President can run a Kool-Aid stand. Cuz millions are drinking it daily....

May have something there! Might be enough as I just read today that of the 75,486 prisoners in the United States 36% are illegal aliens. That is just sick beyond comprehension.

ps: the 76,486 is ONLY federal prisons in sure with the local and or state jails we could muster up many more.
