I'm sure dogs could be used effectively on the border right now.



I think it is the opposite of what liberals generally claim about Trump voters. Trump voters were smart enough to see what voting for the alternative would mean for their futures. They said no thanks. Nothing stupid about that.
According to some posters you should probably just shoot it.

Only less than 10% of asylum claims are granted, while most don't show up at their court dates and become illegal aliens. So the previous administrations policy of catch and release resulted in primarily an increase of illegal immigration. If that was a school project the grade would be an F---. I think we can do a lot better without hardly trying.

It's about darned time, but obviously more needs to be done considering there are over 10,000 illegals massing on the border.

Mexico to immediately deport 500 migrants who 'violently and illegally' tried to cross US border

Unfortunately these folks are not into facts. Facts destroy their illusions. So they must rely on right wing myths.

In fact the Mexican offers is outrageous. Volunteer for serfdom and we will let you stay.

If they are going to be killed if they stay in El Salvador,then escaping murder while still being poor is being offered asylum. Asylum isn't an automatic ticket to first world wages. It's simply an opportunity not to be murdered. Otherwise we potentially have 4 billion poor people who move here.

Asylum isn't for economic benefits. Period.

The 1986 Amnesty signed by Reagan was unmitigated disaster. Congress only half-heartedly approved more security. Employers found ways around the requirements. More illegals came and stole more jobs.

I knew sooner or later these migrants would try to rush our border just as we saw earlier today. Thankfully our authorities stopped them with tear gas. More needs to be done to deter these people. I watched a couple of videos and they were still waving their flag and smiling as they busted past the Mexican police..... Seriously deport them all back to where to they came from.

I agree.

Mexico sees the gravity of the situation. Wonder why Obama never forced Mexico to act.
