Enforce E-verify. Leagalize weed and empower the southern border with real tools. They drive old suvs that have over 230miles. Are short staffed, have a lack communication- or updated electronics to do the job. And with the shut down you killing morale as those poor families not getting paid. The wall will not fix the issues - any wall can be breached. Just think - people climb Mt Everest !
the estimated cost of the wall is $25 billion so this is just to get part of it done. obviously you don't just build the wall and say 'oh the the job is done'. I don't think anyone thinks that. The wall is symbolic in rhetoric but the actual solution is much more comprehensive. the problem, as you alluded to, is that the issue of border control has been neglected for decades.

Nobody buys Mexican weed anymore. But I am totally in favor of legalizing cannabis.
I'm a liberal and I'm in favor of both. By ending birthright citizenship, that means from this day (or whatever day) forward, not retroactive. I would not be in favor of revoking anyone's citizenship.
The Fox News lie of "libruls want open borders and more illegal immigration!" is just that: a lie. Most of us DO want to end illegal immigration.
1. End birthright citizenship
2. Improve and enforce e-Verify
No funding for the border wall.
This is a compromise that I think most can get behind.
I can't get behind it. My proposal is this:
1. More manpower and boots on ground at the border.
2. Give the CBP better technology: cameras, drones, tunnel detection technology.
3. Fix the existing fence at high pressure areas.
4. Finish the original 2006 project which I believe needs less than 50 miles of fencing.
5. Keep birthright citizenship
6. More drug sniffing dogs and more vehicle searching capabilities
We all know that illegal immigration is bad for everyone but the Dems are so thick headed about it. It wasn't that long ago the top Dems came out opposed to illegal immigration. I still think they swapped their stance on the problem at the border in defiance of Trump. They just cannot give the man any credit and certainly not a win that his supporters would love and carry to the ballot box in 2020.
Imagine if Trump loses in 2020 and the Dems change their direction back to one that recognizes illegal immigration as a danger to the country and people on both sides on the border.
I say build the wall as and where needed. End birth right citizenship, is there any other country that does that? And stop giving illegal aliens welfare and jobs. End the incentives and they will stop coming BUT ending the benefits will put many of them on the street and no doubt we will see a rise in crime and identity theft.
There is no winning on this issue and if nothing is done, thanks Dems, it is only going to be worse when it does come to a head.

I'm sure there are many of you that believe as you say. The reality is your leadership in congress do not believe as you say.

I agree with this. Not retroactive.

This is the reason I opened this poll. Looking for common ground.
1. More manpower and boots on ground at the border.
2. Give the CBP better technology: cameras, drones, tunnel detection technology.
3. Fix or enhance the existing fence at high pressure areas.
4. Finish the original 2006 project which I believe needs less than 50 miles of fencing.

Interesting that you support birthright citizenship.
Incidentally, I agree with all of your points except that one.
Thanks for voting!
