I frankly don’t give a hoot if illegals are here. I would want to come here also if I was in Mexico. I’m more concerned about the white supremacist and nationalists than I am of an illegal immigrant. My fight is with the RACISTS. Not some hard working illegal alien.

Impeached trumps agenda will only last his term. Hopefully, AND MOST LIKELY this year. Then we can tear down whatever wall he put up.

WTH does wanting to secure our border from "illegal" entry have to do with racism or white nationalism? It's a shame that you actually proclaim that you condone law breaking illegal aliens in our country. Doesn't matter if they are hard working or not either! They have no right being here stealing jobs, taxes and resources from Americans. Why would you want the wall torn down? You don't give a damn that we'd be flooded with all kinds of other unsavory characters also? Stick your anti-American race card where the sun don't shine!

Trump's wall will be an expensive boondoggle.
While I feel that a physical wall isn't going to be that effective, you're thread is seriously disingenuous.

I see, so as long as you pay taxes it's ok to break the law? I guess that excuses American law breakers to then just as long as they are paying taxes? Huh? How are they paying income taxes if not by using a fake or stolen SS number? That's a felony! Many of them work for cash and aren't paying any income taxes. But according to you pro-illegals the latter doesn't matter? Just like clockwork you try and justify illegal immigration by comparing them to our own unemployed or poor. Sorry, it doesn't fly. They have a right to be in this country while illegal alien don't!

Many illegal aliens are supplementing their low incomes via welfare also. They get all kinds of freebies from giving birth on our soil or use fraud to gain it. Many of these jobs were lost to Americans already employed by working for less. How does that fit with your lazy American narrative?

I didn’t think so.

3 million more AMERICANS voted for Hillary. Bottom line, period. I REALLY doubt those three MILLION Americans are for the wall.
You are probably right. How will they get back here to vote again the next time they are deported?

That’s as far as I’m going with it. I don’t support no stupid wall. If you INTERPRET me supporting E-verify and not wanting a wall, then I can’t help you buddy!!
You are for open borders. When you say that you dont mind them being here, and that you want to knock down barriers at the border, THAT is open borders. How is that so hard to understand? I think you guys that say this are in serious denial.

And I don’t believe you are for really for E-verify either. At least not one that is effective.

Unless you want to tell me that you are for all these illegals losing their jobs and being out of work. Is that what you want? If it is, then you and I are on the same page, but I have a feeling it isn’t.

Nah. I'm mostly just poking fun at Trump's wall for falling over in the wind. That won't be the last tunnel though.

Wind, tunnels.....and that's why a wall is not the most effective way to stop criminals, drug dealers and folks seeking asylum and refugee status.

We can add resources to border crossings to find all of the above and process in a timely manner.
We can add resources to provide more secure processes for our visa processes and tracking.
We can add resources to improve e-verify and the prosection of employers who insist on hiring illegals - who they KNOW are illegal.

But instead -- let's keep it simple -- build a wall and say -- look at everything we are doing to stop illegals.

You have to hand it to Trump. He created the fiction that our greatest worry and nightmare are the infidels crossing the Southern border, then he created the idea of the Wall to focus attention on the imaginary threat. And we continue to discuss it and debate it as if it really mattered.

While we debate non-issues like the Wall, and guns, and abortion Trump continues to rip away at the underpinnings of our Constitution. The American people may deserve what they get - so easily are they led down the path and distracted by populist jibber-jabber. Many people really, truly, believe that "the Wall" is an important issue.

Default Section of Trump built border wall falls over in the wind.

https://news.yahoo.com/newly-built-c...042833736.html

A portion of President Donald Trump's border wall blew over in the wind and fell into Mexico, according to the NBC News affiliate KYMA.

The border wall collapsed about midday Wednesday and landed on a row of trees, according to the police in Mexicali, a town on the Mexico-California border.


Only the best and most beautiful wall will be built.
