I am upset because that wall is a waste of money. Mexican illegal immigration has been steadily declining for the past 8 years. Many have "self deported" because they have found jobs in Mexico. Mexican authorities routinely stop people at the border. Mexico isn't sending anyone here.
I have no problem with arresting and deporting criminal illegal aliens. That being said, there are numerous peaceful illegal aliens that also reside in those cities. I think we need to be careful and judicious in how we handle these people who do contribute to our economy.
I won't apologize for taking a more nuanced look at this situation. Its complex and deserves thoughtful deliberation.
If the wall is a wast of money, so be it. The government is wasting tons of money anyway, so if this even helps a bit it's going to be worth it.
Now to your other point, you can't have it both ways: most if not all sanctuary cities refuse to work with ICE, period. What I'm confused about is the issue with deporting criminal aliens. No, traffic violations don't count: they are violations. However, anyone entering the court system for whatever reason and is convicted did something wrong. PERIOD. You and I have never been arrested or convicted. Why should an illegal alien be protected? If he or she is here ILLEGAL they better be even more careful than you and I to not be in trouble. I just don't see the argument to shield anyone who committed a crime from deportation.
The President will start building Mexico border wall TODAY
Trump likes to pass himself off as a really bright guy and a brilliant businessman.
Time for him to start acting like it.
While I fully support cutting off the flow of illegal labor into the USA, the wall is a very expensive and not so effective method to achieve it.
A MUCH cheaper and more effective approach is to strictly enforce regulations against the so-called "American" companies that employ these illegals. Hit those companies with crippling fines and jail their executives in the general prison populations for a few months apiece. Then illegals wouldn't be able to buy a job.
So, come on Trump.
Show us your business moxie.
Go for the less expensive and more effective approach. Don't burden the US taxpayers with a big monument to you, which is what that wall really is.
You can ignore me as much you'd like but it doesn't mean you are right or understand backing up your statements with documented facts.
A link to the Laws of the Land does not support my statement regarding the Laws of the Land?
Wow... you are aware we have laws, no? Laws about killing people, discrimination, debts, traffic, and um...Immigration?
Do you know this?
