Thank you. The feeling is quite mutual. I grew up in the Jim Crow South with klansmen in my immediate family, and I am well versed in the face of racism.
I'm not the one worrying about white being diluted with brown.
I don't care about race but our identifying culture so why do you keep on with this? How many times are you going to pull the race card in here? The fact is that illegal immigration does dilute our demographics and culture "unlawfully" though. What part of that don't you get or care about? I have no problem with this happening "lawfully".
So, wanting our immigration laws is akin to Jim Crow, racism and the klansmen? You should be ashamed of yourself! Welcome to my ignore list and it's been long overdue. Again, you disgust me!!
Did you read both links? The point is that those good walls have been very effective in deterring illegal aliens. The wall is estimated to cost $25 billion not $40 billion and illegal aliens cost us over $100 billion a year...do the math!
Yes I read both articles, and researched who wrote them. The San Diego/Mexico border is a tiny piece of a three-thousand-mile wall. It's like putting a wall in Niagara Falls and saying we are safe from illegal immigration from Canada. Regardless of what you do, you will never be able to guard the entire stretch from one end to the other. It will be breached before it is finished.
Now - Have you ever seen a project, especially a government project, come in at or below the estimate? Please tell me when. I worked in the steel business for 35 years and dealt with a number of government jobs. The specs are written so that it is impossible to save money in production. There are invariably changes and cost overruns.
$25 billion was last year's estimate. My guess is it will be revised to a $50-100 billion estimate before land can be secured. If they started work today they may bring it in at $40 billion, thus my CURRENT estimate.
Ridiculous! It's not inappropriate when you consider the number of illegal aliens, drug cartels, criminals and possible terrorists that have entered our country via our southern border.
Don't forget - some of them are probably good people.
I'd much rather see a new/expanded reservoir and new, stronger dams to save Houston, but where's the political gain in ensuring the safety of the fourth-largest city in America?
One has nothing to do with the other. We should secure our border and take care of our infrastructures also and we can. Try again!
Actually it will interfere with migration patterns of many animals.
maybe cheeto will send his sons to slaughter those animals, mount their heads on 'the wall', and throw the carcasses to the poor natives on either side! might keep 'em busy, anyway!
Sure. Does the link state that the Mexican government is going to pay for the wall like Trump said they would?
The link provides Trump's plan to make them pay for it involuntarily. Trump never said they'd write a check for it. Keep focusing on this silliness rather than being a concerned citizen for border security. The pettiness and misplaced priorities are fun to watch. Why aren't you more concerned about the over $100 billion a year that illegal aliens cost us?
So are wall supporters cool with the numerous private landowners along the Texas/Mexico border losing their land?
We should all set our priorities on the national interest of border security rather than our own selfishness.
It's not like they won't be paid for their land. Illegal immigration is devastating to over 300 million Americans but we should only be concerned about ourselves personally? WTH kind of caring and thinking is that? As far as I'm concerned those who don't want to sell their land can just deal with the drug cartels and illegal aliens violating their properties all day long. See how long before they are begging for a wall.
Also all AR-15 and Kalashnikov Klones. Sorry about that.
What about all the others? You only want to buy back a small percentage of semi-auto rifles? What makes them more special over say a G3?
