In Texas, I feel the immigration problem in my wallet, and I see it in the schools.

Enforce our immigration laws. Build the wall. Prosecute people who knowingly hire illegals. Cut off social benefits to illegals.

There's diplomacy and there's Trump. Behaving like Trump will likely embolden people to do things they otherwise wouldn't, and being in Arizona I'll get to experience that.

Nothing wrong with your list, although I still think the wall will be a boondoggle.

You know what has been one of the biggest immigration deterrents in recent years? Mexicos improving economy. Us trying to trash it will make the problem worse not better.

So you want another Obama. Someone who will bow to foreign nations and their people. Sorry, America and it's citizens are not a doormat. America demanded real leadership, from a real leader. Not another bozo who wants to continue flushing America down the global toilet.

The individual who shot the American diplomat is almost certainly a piece of human garbage. Blame them. Trump had nothing to do with this shooting.

Mexico trashes their own economy and the US shouldn't be responsible for propping it up.

If there wasn't the US pressure outlet, the Mexican people might actually do something about the corruption down there.

Didn't the shooters get the tweet that all of them(embassy personnel) were fired as of 1/20/17?

No, don't make me pay for a Wall when your state can't enforce the laws on the books.

Should I make the assumption you are more concerned about them and what they want?
Feel free to assume anything you want.

1. Do it the wrong way
2. Do it the right way
3. Don't do anything

Calling people rapists and murderers, and demanding they pay for our spending projects is stupid.

Want to build a wall? Fine, just build it, but what's the point of pissing people off for no gain?

I'm 100 percent sure Mexico ain't real happy with some fool trying to murder a high level US official in Mexico legally since that shooting will turn more people AGAINST illegal aliens here in the US.

Race card doesn't work anymore, sorry. If we're gonna go there; then Mexico needs to NOT keep trying to screw over its poorest and darker skin citizens.
