Seems as though you believe the citizens South of the Border have a RIGHT to come here and live. So, why don't we just skip the middle man?


What's fair is fair. The American taxpayer already literally pays almost every facet of upbringing for the children of these illegals anyway. From Medicaid to foodstamps, to housing assistance to public education.


Let's just take Central America as our own.
Good idea.

Again: cut out the middle man. Obviously those countries need a little Anglo order.

You Trumpies see everything in simple black and white terms. Just because I don't like the idea of shooting people in the leg or planting land mines along the border doesn't mean I'm for open borders and uncontrolled immigration.

I agree with the leg-shooting part only if an immigrant is attacking a Border Patrol agent with a weapon!

Nah, then you shoot to stop the attack by aiming for center mass. Leg shots are never a good idea.

This is what the left media does all the time omit and distort what actually is done or said,
Before pointing fingers ... If you want the full version then give it:
"After publicly suggesting that soldiers shoot migrants if they threw rocks, the president backed off when his staff told him that was illegal. But later in a meeting, aides recalled, he suggested that they shoot migrants in the legs to slow them down. That’s not allowed either, they told him."https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/01/u...rder-wars.html

Let's be accurate now. It was alligators OR snakes.

There was a prehistoric croc that lived in the desert. That would have been more suiting.

Read it for heaven's sake. Trump wanted to shoot the migrants to slow them down. What he was afraid the migrants might bump into the troops? The troops couldn't run as fast as the migrants?

The OP thread is: Trump ASKED ...
