Why do you anti-wall people keep deflecting to the visa over stayers? We are well aware that's a problem also but why should we only address them but not the border jumpers? We need to address both of these problems but in a different way.
It’s not deflection. Money doesn’t grow on trees and if we’re going to spend it we should deal with the larger issue. It’s about bang for your buck. The wall is insanely expensive and only solves a small portion of the problem.

Is this how you run your personal finances??

No. They get this thing called a visa and come over on a plane and then they don’t leave. See how complex that is!!

The USA should pull out of Afghanistan and use the money saved to build the wall. Afghanistan is a black hole that drains money, materials, and lives. No country has ever conquered or subdued Afghanistan. The USA will leave having accomplished nothing like the Soviet Union and other countries or empires.

Poh Donald Trump....the whole world just picks on him huh?

What was that meeting between the Russian government lawyer, Don Jr., and all the Trump people about?

What about the information in the Trump dossier that is true?

Why does DT consistently suck up to Putin and the Russians every chance he gets?

Why did DT initially oppose the Russian Sanctions Bill?

Why was the FBI Director fired?

And I'm just getting started.

When special counsel clears DT in the Russia investigation than I will listen. Not until.

And, of course, keep bringing up Hillary Clinton. Trump must believe she was the one elected President.

The wall is not insanely expensive compared to the $100 billion a year that illegal aliens costs us. What price do you want to put on our national security? Border jumpers, criminals, terrorists and the drug cartels are not a small problem. Why do you think we can't deal with the visa over stayers at the same time? They are both big problems.

With that last snarky remark welcome to my ignore list. I don't want to debate with people who are given facts about the wall and still remain in denial and keep repeating the same old excuses not to build it. It's like debating with a child.

Evade surveillance? It's kind of crazy to think you have a right to listen to someone's phone calls.

Unless they're in the act of committing treason.
