Don't blame it all on the employees. Many illegals come here to perform criminal acts. Rob, burglarize, assault, etc.

Last I heard, about 1/3rd of those in prison in California are illegal aliens.

More will be spent on watching today's super bowl than it will cost to finish the wall. Priorities.

Not even close.
July 31, 2013, the last time figures were documented, there were as many as 18,000 “foreign-born” citizens in California state prisons of 133,000 incarcerated Elusive crime wave data shows frightening toll of illegal immigrant criminals | Fox News

And the crime rate by first generation immigrants is lower than native born citizens https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.8e5c8278e5db

It was only for so many miles. He can build what is not completed...but he still has to go through congress to get approval for more.

I did my research about this before the election. Thanks though.

They come here for jobs.


It would be a lot cheaper for the government to start prosecuting employers who hire them...and Trump could start that tomorrow without any new Congressional actions.

If you have sophistication to acquire a portable nuke, you're not going to be stopped by a wall.

Most drugs enter through checkpoints. And guns, seriously?

But - those are the job creators. The holiest of the holy, the blessed, the ones whom we owe thanks and respect for leveraging our work. Surely you're not implying they could be at fault?

I've said many times before, no administration is actually going to "solve" the Mexican illegal immigrant problem because for Big Business it's not a problem at all, it's a goldmine.


All politicians are going to do is to spend taxpayer money on efforts they intend to be futile, and point fingers at the other party.


Trump will be no different, particularly because he hires such labor himself.
