Mr. Bob,
You are incorrect Sir. I'm a 40 year old white male with a Master's degree from a State University, and this election meant a lot to me as it affected my job, and our country's Sovereign State.

Who said we could?

The transfers would be from the United States.

You're a pessimist, or disinterested for reasons derived from a larger agenda.

Default Trump will ask taxpayers to pay for border wall, not Mexico

Fake news post, Liberals are so desperate, Go get your crayons and draw us a pretty picture. By the way I would be ok with my tax dollars paying for the wall.

The Wall and Donald Trump are both wastes of taxpayers dollars.

The anti trump contingent gets hung up on literal interpretation taken to extreme fantasy.


How did they survive obama???????


Trump will behead muslims and force seniors to die of cancer on the melting ice of the arctic.


Meanwhile the 'dimwitted' are being played by Putin. He knows if he compliments trump those befuddled and confused anti-trumpers anger toward trump will be stoked, to further divide our country. Something Obama did with some success.


At least Trump didn't tell us isis was the jv team or you can keep your doctor if you like your doctor, PERIOD! Now that would have been a whopper of a lie and his pants would surely catch on fire.

It speculates various reasons for the decrease in apprehensions, the wall potentially being one of them.


All I hear from the right is how bad the problem of illegal immigration is. It is impossible to build a wall in large areas of the border because land is privately owned. And a large percentage of people are here illegally because of overstaying visas, not because of crossing the US/Mexico border on foot.

If a business is found guilty twice of knowingly hiring illegals they lose their business license in Arizona. This was upheld by the courts. I know of only one case where this happened. The owner was jailed (for falsifying social security cards) and the business was sold to other interests and continues (apparently with legal workers). So yes, the law does exist in this state, and no, it is not enforced to any great degree. But then again, the threat has been quite successful in certain economic sectors. But not construction. There is an interesting thing going on there too, though. Illegals have been here a long time. Many were legalized by Reagan amnesty and we in this state have a lot of second and third generation immigrants now who look to the biased world like illegals, but actually are American citizens. Even the ones hanging around Home Depot are legal for the most part according to reports, though I do wonder about that.
