Why is illegal drugs so much worse than illegal construction or crop picking to law enforcement and district attorneys?
They are not any worse, how do you explain how ALL these drugs come in and reach their destination, and so consistently? LOL

So since not lol illegal immigrants work we shouldn’t work on that end of the problem, but not all (or even most) illegal immigrants cross the southern border either. By your logic we shouldn’t have any border security.

It has to be proven that an employer "knowingly" had illegals working for them. Illegals present some pretty authentic looking fake or stolen documents to work.


How many times do I have to repeat that not all illegals are coming here to work, thus the wall? Stop this constant yammering in here day in and day out about Mexico paying for the wall. Trump has a plan and I have posted it several times. Even if the taxpayer had to fund it, it would be cost effective and the good walls in place already have reduced illegal entry in some places by 90%.


Any other lame arguments? I've heard them all over and over in here like a bunch of parrots day in and day out. Move on, for Christ's sake!
You need to tell that to trump.

Thank you for the topic. You summed it up exactly.
Lol. Walls keep people IN, when they don’t have access to ladders, ropes, that kind of thing. Do you really think those things don’t exist in Mexico?

This is possibly the most ignorant comparison I’ve ever seen here. I can’t imagine how stupid a person would have to be to think this up.

If that’s the case why do the existing wall sections work great? They aren’t anywhere as well built or y’all as the planned wall and people aren’t crossing over it with ladders. Do you really believe the average human can scale a 30’ tall concrete and steel wall designed to not allow it? If a wall only stops 75% of the people who attempt to cross it would be the biggest success in history.

It's not even close to the same argument is it?

Lololololol

Wait you are serious?

Let me get this straight you think it’s odd that people aren’t going over when they can go around? Ladders become a viable option when you have to go over. Look people will usually cross a river at its narrowest point, but if that isn’t a option that doesn’t mean they won’t build a raft and cross elsewhere.

1. The result of outlawing guns is that only criminals would have guns.
2. We should not create a state of affairs in which only criminals have guns.
Therefore,
3. We should not outlaw guns.

To take this logic to trump's wall folly:

1. The result of building a law is that only criminal immigrants will breach the wall.
2. We should not create a state of affairs in which only criminals pass our border.
3. We should not build a wall.
