Yeah. The same "logic" says dumping money in the toilet is action, and better than doing nothing. Got it.

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.

As long as people give them jobs, and bus them in, and put them to work as cheap labor in factories and on crews, they'll continue to come in.

Walls are no obstacle. Capitalism and the demand for cheap labor are bigger than walls.

Historically have proven that border walls works. Is not dumping money in the toilet. It works. Why do other countries have border walls and it works for them.


Is dumping money in the toilet letting illegals come in here left and right.

I guess you dont mind giving your money away to people who just want a free pass and breaking the laws. Also I am guessing you like to have your house with no fences, walls , windows and doors. okay then.

We don't have a border wall? At all? Fascinating.

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.

Excellent example of the right-wing echo chamber but the ability to request asylum is still on the books and that's the laws they are following. They have only recently suspended the requirement that you must be in the USA to file regardless of how you arrive but this needs to be made permanent.

Will we be locking up all the businesses who are taking advantage of these undocumented workers how about the Republican Governors? I can't say Republican Mayors because it seems they don't exist unless it is some type of rich suburb, no real examples in a real city....

The No votes just spiked a bit. That's suburban housewives voting now that The View broadcast is over. An excellent news source.

Border walls work. And they work well. They've worked for thousands of years. Anyone who argues they don't work is simply ignorant of history. There are about 65 countries that have or that are building border walls.

Again why do you build fences around your house, have windows, walls and doors. Then add security. Because is the safest and it works.

I voted No!
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.
