A massive influx of unskilled uneducated poor people would be detrimental to our economy. You think wages are too low now, watch them go to pennies with your idea. No country in the world wants this.

The US admits over 1 million legal immigrants per year, there's no reason for it to higher or easier. None.

Well, Trump is the one who thought of this idiotic wall in the first place, and he claims to be a billionaire, so he should fork over the money.

No.

You are confusing legal with illegal immigrants:
In fiscal year 2015, a total of 1,051,031 people obtained lawful permanent resident (LPR) status.
http://www.ncsl.org/research/immigra...tion-2017.aspx

There were 303,916 border apprehensions in the southwest U.S. during fiscal 2017—a 26 percent drop from 2016. A large number of those apprehensions were people presenting themselves to border agents and seeking asylum. It’s less clear how many successfully cross the border. Customs & Border Patrol tries to estimate the total based on surveillance footage, evidence of movement (e.g., footprints, overturned rocks, litter) and reports from local residents. In fiscal year 2015, Border Patrol claimed an 81 percent success rate in apprehending or turning back people who attempted to cross illegally. https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2...rrently-cross/

No? Are you arguing for the sake of arguing as usual?

Thanks for providing the data on what I said.

I apologize, I should have read your comment more carefully I mistakenly thought you were claiming that there are 1 million illegals admitted every year.

On creating trumpcamps on military bases - veterans and active military members speak out:

“Active-duty and retired U.S. military officers and enlisted personnel are expressing a sense of moral emergency over the Defense Department setting up detention camps for undocumented immigrants on military bases.

“It smacks of totalitarianism,” said Steve Kleinman, a retired Air Force colonel and military intelligence officer.
...
Noboa called the intended camps concentration camps, “regardless of what euphemisms we use to salve our souls,” and said they were an “excruciating dilemma” for the military, “for it corrodes our notions of moral courage, and places them in conflict with the necessity of maintaining discipline.””
