Oh, RIGHT!


And then they get a job as a roofer and sleep in vacant buildings.

The problem is, this is a complete and utter waste of money, time and is nothing more than a distraction. By the time they start putting down fresh concrete the new incoming president in 4 years will have stopped construction. Illegal immigrants, whom most actually fly in from central america, are by far and away not the problems facing our country. But it gives dumb americans an enemy to rally against so they can easily ignore the real problems in america.
I'm hearing he wants to enact a bond on all visa holders. If they skip out the bounty hunters get first pick. I like it.

Other countries do it.

When it comes to intelligence about a wall? The person I listen to is the late great Molly Ivins:

Cheers and Jeers: Thursday

They do not work. Period.

Guess we'd better tear down the walls on our homes and businesses then. The Daily Kos? That's a far left site. No surprise.

Every time the wall is brought up, I keep thinking of Reagan saying,"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" It seems ironic that now we are going to build one ourselves.

If you are speaking of the Berlin wall it was built for an entirely different reason than what our wall would be for.

Fine, put my name on it and I want a registry of all those who don't support the wall so they can pay my share of the $113 billion that illegals cost us every year.
