Mexico is relatively unconcerned about illegal "human" traffic across that border because they are aware those are just "passing through" on their way to the U.S.
The wall is so ridiculous. People will find a way to get over the wall, isn't going to stop people. Do you really want your tax dollars to pay for this? Mexico is not paying, the taxpayers are.
No it's not ridiculous and I already explained why in another post.

Exactly.
Up the penalties and sanctions on employers and a good percentage of the problem is solved.
You got to ask yourself why no one in Trump's administration is advocating for this.
It is a well known fact that, whatever one man builds, another man can defeat. If anyone thinks a wall 500 feet high would keep anyone out, they are wrong.
Years ago, I knew a Mexican guy who had been deported 3 times. A week later, each time, he was right back here, and back to work. Last I knew of him, he had his own company, owned a home, and was paying taxes and employing others. He wasn't coming here to " murder, rape, or sell drugs," he was coming here for a better life for him and his family.
Anyone who thinks this wall is an absolute solution needs to drive out to that area and look at what it looks like. NO wall could stop people from getting over, if they really wanted to come in. It is just something Donald Trump dreamed up in his head to make his cult think he had some great solution to a non existent problem.
Exactly.
While the wall may help control the border in places where there is a lot of foot traffic, say around Tijuana, to think that it is going to work out in the middle of nowhere is ridiculous.
It's like privatized prisons. It's a way for contractors to make money and for the wealthy to continue to work people like slaves while claiming they are doing something.
It's a scam. I'm surprised people are dimwitted enough to fall for it.

Already tried that years ago. It failed miserably with just a simple grappling hook and piece of rope with four Mexicans heaving on it to pull it off the top.
This is stupid stuff.
Americans just need to STOP HIRING THEM!
Exactly.
Used to lunch with a rather wealthy woman who said she preferred to hire undocumented folks. They were hard workers, never asked for a day off, and didn't give her any guff.
I gather from your posts that you have a vested interest in illegal immigration. The anti-wall people usually do.
The wall advocates are the ones who have a vested interest in illegal immigration.
That way they can claim they are doing something by spending a big bunch of our money while still employing their undocumented housekeepers, nannies, gardeners, chicken pluckers, slaughterhouse workers, roofers, landscapers... at slave labor wages.
We need:
1. Strong border security
2. E-verify, and sanctions for employers who break the law.
3. A generous guest worker program, with a path to residency or citizenship for those immigrants who are working, paying taxes, and staying out of jail.
4. Cooperation from immigrants, i.e., obeying immigration laws, working, paying taxes, and staying out of jail.
I disagree with #3. It's a slap in the face to immigrants who came here legally, it would negate our sane annual quotas for legal immigration for years to come, Americans needs their jobs back and it was proven in 1986 that amnesty just encourages more illegals to come here.
Paying taxes does not excuse anyone for breaking the law. We already have numerous guest worker programs and we have millions of Americans out of work.
