Then they'd be visa over stayers not border jumpers. Visa over stayers can and should be monitored. The wall is for border jumpers not visa over stayers and yes there are still thousands coming to our country every year that way. Should we just ignore that?

What's a decent concession, giving amnesty to the DACAs and of course next will be their parents and those who have U.S. born children? See where I'm going with this? No thanks, our national security shouldn't be held hostage rewarding those in our country illegally.

Why don't you go back over the numerous threads discussing the wall since everything in your above post has been addressed already? I guess you'll be hitting by ignore list just like your fellow parrots in here. Buh, bye!
Ah, the irony

I was curious, will the wall be on the US side? Because if you put it dead center on the line, depending on the thickness of the wall, half of it would be in the US, half in MX. And unless they agreed to let us construct on their property, I don't see how that would go over with Mexico.

The fact is, that the large corporations, including big farms, are the last ones to want to remove undocumented workers. They do more and receive less for it, than American citizens. They also contribute a lot to Social Security and many of them will never receive benefits from it. If they were all suddenly gone, this country would go into an economic shock, which is something that anti-immigration fanatics seem unable to comprehend.

Trump should start a Go Fund me for the Wall....his base is so loyal -- they will raise all the money right? And all those rich corporations with all that cash -- they will be happy to give the Trumpster a little payback for his tax credits.

Not necessarily. What makes you think they would get the job.

What a defeatist attitude.

It is anti-illegal aliens. We have immigration laws but the problem is they are being ignored. I think that kind of economic shock would be a good thing. It would bring us to 0 unemployment, make few taxes necessary, and unload our emergency overloads and hospital expenses. Let's try it for a year and see if you are right.
