They don't act it then...liberals have framed it as the poor little immigrant...

...and totally ignored the crimes

I'm all for closing the border no matter what it takes...the system is in place...they should follow the law and apply in their country..

...and I'm mostly in favor of taking that same amount of money, housing, medical, etc and using it to help our own American citizens that are homeless...mostly because of drugs....and mostly because those drugs are coming across our open southern border

He's not going to do that. What an idiot. Just trying to distract from the growing pressure on the Saudis.

I don't really like Trump personally, I find him repugnant, but I do kind of like him throwing some elbows around. Obama was such a candyass with that red line deal it's nice to have a guy say we're not going to take crap and then actually do something about it. Again, not a Trump guy, but I like how he's giving China the bird, the French environmental accord deal and now telling Nicaragua to reel their crap in or the money's going to stop. I don't see a damn thing wrong with telling their government that.

Dims are upset as they were counting on these illegals voting next month and getting rewarded with free stuff.

I used to hear this type of stuff and think to myself that it's simply partisan rhetoric, but I don't know, lately they dems only seem to care about illegals and they don't say a damn thing about the unemployed or underemployed people here, never hear anything anymore about taking care of the little guy, the average joe shmoe.

The crap I hear from them is about taking care of the dreamers, we shouldn't have borders or build a wall, let's get rid of ICE, things along those lines. It's frankly making me sick to my stomach. If you call them out on it, you're simply just a stupid simpleton redneck racist.

Remember that movie Falling Down??? I think we're going to be seeing more and more of that type of stuff in the future.

No.. a really good screen door would work. And, I think that segment you are worried about would come with a wall in place, so it's better to have actual humans who patrol to catch those types, really.

Let em come that doesn't mean they'd gain entry with a wall. Have you not read the numerous links I have posted in here showing how the good walls have been a huge deterrant? Humans cost money a wall is a one time cost. Not that we wouldn't need the Border Patrol anymore at the more difficult and dangerous areas to cross because we still would.

There are roughly 160 million people that want to come to the United States. Should we let all of them in, too? Just think of all the undocumented Democrats that could assure that the United States becomes Obama's 3rd world dream.

Default What is Trump Afraid Of?

Last I heard, there are 4,000 dirt poor, south Americans in a 'migrant caravan' walking though Mexico toward the United States.

In my opinion, this is not a threat. If it were some kind of armed military, it might be different.

Yet Trump is threating to close the border and call up the military for protection against a few unarmed civilians!


You would think Russia and China are invading for all of his hype.


I say its nothing but political propaganda.
