What a ridiculous remark. If anything the Democrats want to get rid of us and replace us with illegal aliens.

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

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?

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.

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?

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!

Wrong! We tried high tech and drones awhile back and it didn't stop the flow. Only physical barriers will deter it along with the Border Patrol.

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.

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.
