With the $5 billion + that will cost to build the wall you could do all of the above. We don’t have the money to keep up services or our infrastructure FOR AMERICANS. Why, why would you want to put it towards a wall that will not work?!
5 billion is peanuts to the total budget and the amount it cost the taxpayers to take care of the illegals and their children for life, 5 billion is nothing.
funny, that democrats don't complain what is in 99% in the budget. They only care about the 5 billion for border security because Trump wants it and they oppose everything Trump.
Border Patrol says a wall will work and make their jobs better.....you have been listening too much to the clowns in the MSM. Ask the Border Patrol what will work and what will not and what do they need since Trump listens to them.
Neither of those are cities, those are 2 small border towns which are nothing more than suburbs of much larger cities in bordering Mexico, both of which have much higher crime rates than the BS stats you're trying to push off here right now.
Take that crap out of here Ken, you don't know what you're talking about.
We need to adopt the immigration laws that Mexico has. And enforce them.
Illegal immigration will only stop when the incentive to come here goes away. E-verify, penalize those who hire them, end catch and release, sentence the criminals to long hard time in a miserable climate.
Make it a felony for a deportee to come here again.
What we don't have is a "crisis amounting to a national emergency."
And tRump's wall is no solution for the problems now or in the future.
It has been a national emergency for years. Just because the MSM and our politicians have ignored it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The Border Patrol says its an emergency. They are the ones in the front lines and risking their lives every day not you.
The fence makes it so that when there is a crowd of hundreds of people, the border control has a chance to respond, when just a couple people have started to try to climb.
If Hillary won, the 10,000 people in the caravans who are stuck in Mexico, would have been let in, given a court date, and 90% of them would become illegal aliens. The migrant crisis is a scam. The caravans are mostly young single men, who will get paid in cash or use someone else's ID to work.
If we are only arresting 400,000 people on the Southern border per year now it's clearly no big deal. I mean, a measly 400,000 people trying to illegally enter our country per year is nothing when we've already got an estimated 20,000,000 illegal aliens living in the country now. If border patrol catches half of everyone attempting to enter the country illegally every year we're only adding another 400,000 to the country every year with the ones they don't catch, that's no big deal right?

I tried googling to read up on your claim that BP is claiming an emergency situation. Cam up with nothing. Could you provide a reputable link.

Don't pretend you're closer to the border or more aware of the situation than I am.
But if it became painful for employers to hire illegals, the problem would dissipate quickly.
I'm not convinced of this. Even without employment, life here is better than in many other countries.
We don't refuse medical care to anyone. There are many sources of free food. Kids are educated. It's safer.
And that's just a very short list of examples.
