I didn't vote. I think all you have to do is to enforce the law. Punish those who hire illegals, neither party has done an acceptable job. So don't even bother to blame just one party, blame them both and the employers who hire the illegals, the cheap labor lobbies.

I say military secure the border, enforce the law, hold people accountable for hiring illegals, problem solved.

Just because you disagree with it doesn't mean it's not possible. Remember, your thinking like a politician. They have no clue how to build anything unless the cost is astronomical which they pass on to taxpayers.

You need to think very differently if you want to get things done...
I know what you mean. It reminds me of when JFK said we were going to land on the moon back in the 1960's. There were those that were sure we couldn't do it. What is shocking is that this is just common sense international business dealings. It seems so much of the population has been effectively indoctrinated by MSM and the establishment with such a helpless attitude. It's like they are in water over their heads and willing to drown unless someone comes along and tells them it's OK to swim and save yourself.

It is debatable whether illegals are the majority of remittance payers.

There is also a high remittance outflow to India, China, and The Philippines.
but they are not the source of most illegal immigration

Are you serious lol

Architects have already said it's not possible to build or even afford the wall in our lifetime. He's still under this delusion that Mexico is going to even build the wall or have the budget to do so. The Mexican border is 2,000 miles and he wants to build a concrete wall over ten feet tall in the eight years. Lol

Lol...why build a wall when there is network of tunnels spanning though California, Arizona, Texas, and New Mexico. That's like putting a band aid on a open wound that requires stitches......to dumb it down for trump supporters, it's pointless.

Actually it is a fail.

We build thousands of miles of higher walls every year right next to freeways to deaden sound. As of February 10, 2012, the Department of Homeland Security had completed 651 miles of fencing out of nearly 652 miles mandated by Congress, including 299 miles of vehicle barriers and 352 miles of pedestrian fence.

So almost 1/3rd has already been built. Since 2007 more than 1M immigrants (nearly 10%) have moved back to Mexico, so it must be working.

I am no fan of Trump, but building the wall is not impossible and would be chump change compared to what we spend, especially on defense, which should include dafence!

Um...stop parroting CNN and WaPo.

Since the thread title makes it clear that you didn't know, this is not news, and Trump didn't "release" anything. That information has been on his website for months.

I don't know; maybe a moat would be cheaper. Borrow some alligators from Florida, feed 'em wild pigs from Alabama (or wherever they are). A deep moat would prevent tunnels being built, also.
