Ever heard of tunnel sensors? They were built under the portion of walls that Trump already completed. Personally, I get the feeling that you have an ulterior motive for voting no.
exactly. It makes you wonder if they have " ulterior motives " on why they dont want the build the border walls when history proves for the fact that having border walls works and is the safest. lol
No on border walls. They don't work and immigration is based on the simple concept of supply and demand. If there was no demand, there would be no supply. They will just find another way in, like they're already doing via Canada.
Expand legal immigration and illegal immigration will fall.
Where the good walls have already been built they have been 90% effective in deterring illegal entry. Terrorists, criminals and those willing to work cash are getting into our country so the employers can hire them with no recourse and no records. Terrorists and criminals aren't looking for jobs. Most will not find their way in when the wall is completed. Unless 100% can't get into our country then it's not good enough? Walls help the Border Patrol do their jobs more effectively to.
Many come here for birthright citizenship and benefits for their kids to. Have you given any thought to that?
You think so? Try cashing out and leaving the US and see what happens.
Walls can be used to keep invaders out. But they are ALSO used to keep Citizens, IN.
It used to be you could leave without question. Now you must pass through outgoing border control of varying degrees. Your picture is often taken for facial recognition and comparison to no-fly and wanted databases. Same driving, license plates and drivers are photographed.
It is only one more step to requiring exit visas, and shooting "escapees." Ala the Berlin Wall.
you must stop talking out of your ass. it's embarrassing.
there is no oubound inspection for anybody leaving the US via the land border or even via the int'l airport.
LOL They just get in through other ways. This is already going on. You could build quadrillion dollar walls to the sky, and they'll still be escorted in around them.
There's too much capitalistic demand for them to let walls get in the way. Cheap labor, etc. Hello?
The "border walls" push is strictly for the racism vote.
Racism vote? WTH are you talking about? It's racist to want to stop illegal aliens from getting into our country?
Existing immigration laws work perfectly when enforced. Laws that aren’t enforced don’t need reform. That’s just leftist garbage.
The “current need” is to lock up politicians that don’t do their part to enforce existing laws. Sanctuary city democrat mayors need to be locked up immediately. A 10 year minimum prison sentence would do wonders for illegal alien numbers.
The wall/fences we had in place before Trump built the good ones were inferior and could be breached. Trump's wall was much higher and had tunnel sensors under it.
According to that poster we should just update our immigration quotas to include the poor, unskilled and uneducated that would be a tax burden on our society as they only qualify for minimum waged jobs that don't pay a liveable wage. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.....NOT!
Nope…, these folks climb steep mountains, walk on tough terrains, kids get in little carts or baskets on a rope and pulley between mountains to get to school. They are trained like the military just to survive their environments.
Perhaps, but the main reason has always been; to grow an economy you must grow the population.
It truly is that simple.
And people are now having less babies.
So we should allow in millions of illegal aliens to create babies and grow the economy? Doesn't legal immigration do that? A smaller population to fit a smaller economy is much healthier for everyone.
