"The NBPC disagrees with wasting taxpayer money on building fences and walls along the border as a means of curtailing illegal entries into the United States. However, as long as we continue to operate under the current NBPS and ignore the problem that is causing illegal immigration, we realize fences and walls are essential."
Ignore the problems........like jobs being offered. I look at it different. Address that or let let come by the millions.
Illegal immigrants who have committed crimes in our country or who don’t have anchor babies should be deported from the United States.
The rest will probably have to remain here and be given guest worker permits and limited rights under our Constitution. There is not much we can do with illegals who already have families in the United States.
The main thing with the Wall is to prevent millions more illegal immigrants coming from Mexico.
It isn't that the loyalists think the wall is the only solution. The loyalists are just sick-and-tired of what has been going on for decades. Wall, barrier, fence, steel-slats, whatever. They just want something done, immediately.
The rest of us want something which would actually work.

And anyone with a brain realizes that you need some kind of barrier. Which is why we already have a partial-barrier. And if we didn't, the "problem" would be far worse than it already is.
According to who? Statistics show border crossings peaked in 1985 and again in 2000, and then fell by about 50% in a matter of few years before any walls were built.
You conveniently skip Title II of S.744, which was an amnesty for most illegals in the U.S. (when we have no idea how many there are), and the subtitles that hugely increased legal immigration and the refugee and asylum programs.
The claim was Dems have not done anything to secure the border, and I proved it wrong. They proposed a whole slew of measures. The "amnesty" part was for DACA people who are already in US, and we know a wall would do nothing about them, so it is irrelevant. It was only as an excuse for GOP to reject the border security bill.

They go on to say that, "Walls and fences are only a speed bump. People who want to come to the United States to obtain employment will continue to go over, under, and around the walls and fences that are constructed."
They also wrote...
"Politicians, media spokespersons, and illegal immigrant advocates like to mislead the public into believing a temporary guest worker program will solve illegal immigration in the United States. The amnesty that passed in 1986 used the same fundamentally flawed theory and resulted in an increase of people illegally entering the United States for years to follow. As long as the number of people who want to come to the United States to work is greater than the number of temporary guest worker permits, people will continue to enter the United States illegally in search of work."
"Abolish the National Border Patrol Strategy and reallocate a portion of the resources to the interior of the country. Using Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and Border Patrol agents... to target employers who hire illegal aliens... Including at day labor sites, illegal alien encampments, and locations where illegal aliens typically congregate on city streets throughout the country... And finally, the United States must cut-off all benefits to illegal aliens to guarantee illegal aliens will return to their country of origin."
Basically they said, we need more ICE agents to arrest illegals on the streets, and to raid known illegal-immigrant camps. And further, we need to cut off all benefits to illegal-aliens. If we don't do these things, then walls and fences will continue to be essential but will not do enough.
Do you agree with them? And why does the Border Patrol Union support Trump? Why don't they support the democrats? Have they ever supported the democrats? Or do they rightly believe the democrats are a bunch of morons?
Glad you agree the wall is useless as an effective long term deterrent, esp considering the cost. Yes we need to enforce more against employers.
Red states are big hypocrites in that regard. Maybe the blue states will start chipping in when the red state hypocrisy stops

How could any of them have not committed a crime such as felony ID theft to work or tax evasion by working for cash? Sorry, but I don't think any of them should be able to use their families as an excuse to remain here. The courts already struck down DAPA. Since when do American law breakers get a pass just because they have families?
We already have several guest worker programs and how are Americans to get back their construction jobs, etc. back by allowing illegal aliens to remain here? There is something we can do about illegal aliens whether or not they have families and that is to deport them as they are found. They can take their families with them back to their homelands including their anchor babies or leave them here as long as we have the PC policy of deeming them citizens of our country.
I agree on the wall. Good physical barriers have already proven to work very effectively and the Border Patrol wants them to protect themselves and to make their jobs easier.
