Fake News. You can't handle the truth.

So you admit it's working, otherwise you'd be happy to see them swarm the border. Fact is, once again dems are not in touch with the people. They really thought this makes Trump go hide under a table.

It takes a lot of tax paying dollars to provide food, clothes, shelter, healthcare, etc for thousands of immigrants, who which most will not be accepted. And if they are, we will still continue to provide for them for a long time.

I believe this will deter a lot of people exploiting the terrible policy of 'catch and release'. Fake asylum seekers probably wont even try knowing they will be held in tents till their court date.
As naive as this might sound, why would anyone with common sense think releasing people who just committed a crime into the general public, on the promise they will return in a years time (to potentially face the consequences)and be forced to go back home, think it was a wise policy?

It would be akin to a American citizen in our court system being told "we don't have room to put you in prison, so we are going to trust you to come back (on your honor and word) to where you might be found guilty and must spend time in prison for your misdeeds".
Sure we have a bail system, but at least the person is potentially losing something if they fail to return. Additionally we have a system of monetarily incentivevised people who will go out and track them down.
The system doesn't always work, but it certainly works better than this "catch & release" system for illegal aliens.

Brave Sir Robin is going to send out 15,000 troops to the border to keep us safe from those unarmed asylum seekers. Ah, I can sleep soundly now.

There will be no wall. If it makes you sleep better at night then continue waiting for it.

It may be silliness until some gun-toting Trump supporter takes it upon himself/herself to visit the border because they take dear leader's words to heart - eg. that these refugees are actually hellbent on "invading" our country and must be stopped at all cost. After all, we've already seen this with the bomb-happy Trump supporter.

What Trump is doing is downright dangerous, not just silliness. Some Republicans are starting to get outraged and distancing themselves from Trump.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/01/u...gtype=Homepage

"Tuesday’s House election may turn on an equally significant and opposite force: a generational break with the Republican Party among educated, wealthier whites — especially women — who like the party’s pro-business policies but recoil from President Trump’s divisive language on race and gender.

Rather than seeking to coax voters like these back into the Republican coalition, Mr. Trump appears to have all but written them off, spending the final days of the campaign delivering a scorching message about preoccupations like birthright citizenship and a migrant “invasion” from Mexico that these voters see through as alarmist.

In Republican-leaning districts that include diverse populations or abut cities that do — from bulwarks of Sunbelt conservatism like Houston and Orange County, Calif., to the well-manicured bedroom communities outside Philadelphia and Minneapolis — the party is in danger of losing its House majority next week because Mr. Trump’s racially-tinged nationalism has alienated these voters who once made up a dependable constituency."

But yet none of you want a border wall. Even when it is pointed out that walls do work---like the one that Bill Clinton had built on the San Diego/Tijuana border that has drastically cut down on crime and illegal crossings---you all keep mindlessly parroting that walls don't work.

If you don't want an open border, then you are a hypocrite for not wanting a wall. Talk about skewed logic!
