No, you are whining about one man's behavior which is NO DIFFERENT than that of many, many others.

WHY is that?

Mark Zuckerbuerg's use of his $$$ on his property is meaningless to me and his thoughts on whether we should build a wall or not is his O-P-I-N-I-O-N which doesn't mean too much to me either

IF you choose to single out one man's actions as abhorrent while giving others a pass for the exact same actions it's your problem, not mine.

What is that expression about insanity and trying the same thing over and over while expecting different results?
WHAT is this "continue trying:" about?

You're the one who said we ignored solutions 1-16, i.e. never tried them.

Neither actually. I wrote in Jim Webb because in every interview I've ever seen with him he impressed me as someone I could trust. I may have disagreed with some of his positions but trust is my #1 criterion. And after 35+ years of observing Trump I have no trust in him.

He promoted a lot of things that were quickly forgotten. Hear much talk about the 'Deportation Force' quickly ridding the country of 11,000,000 illegals lately?

I don't think it's thin air he's pulling things out of.

Trying to get the government to enforce our laws. They have ignored them for decades.

Immigration, specifically a wall and deportation, were at the core of his campaign. People voted for him based on these.

Wow, a rich elitist wall hypocrite, imagine that.
Zucker is building a wall, on his property, with his money, for his personal use.
Trump is building a wall on other people's property, with other people's money for his own use.

Big difference there.

If you think he's building it for American people you are one of the tragically duped. He's building it for no other reason than because he said he would, for his own ego.
Nobody but his sycophants like you think it's a smart idea.
Mandatory e-verify with tough enforcement. Problem solved for next to nothing. You wouldn't even have to pay for the illegals to leave. they'd do it on their own dime.

We voted for Trump who said he was going to build a wall. Perhaps you should study the obscure concept know as a republic.

Unless his privacy wall has unlocked gates that allow people in, he's still using it to keep people out.

He doesn't want people looking in his windows, and I don't want to pay for services for illegals. Is his desire any better than mine?

A house=/ a country. It'd be one thing if you were trying to keep your fans away when they see you come out of a hotel. This is not what Zuckerberg is doing however. He is trying to protect the property he purchased. Do you really think he should have unlocked gates? Have you seen how people are with those that are famous?


Did you buy America on Ebay? Did you even pay to rent it? No... in fact America is not really ours even though we reside in it. It belongs to the Native Americans (that's why they call them NATIVE Americans duh) and somewhere in history someone took over.

Zuckerberg built his wall in his property with his money to keep unwanted people out.

America needs to build our wall on American soil with our money to keep unwanted people out.

BTW, do you think the native Americans wish they established and enforced borders? They are a great example of what happens when you neglect such things.

He also said he was going to form a 'Deportation Force' and quickly rid the US of 11,000,000 illegals.

Perhaps you should study the concept known as selective memory.

WHAT happened to Mexico paying for this White Elephant in the making?
