Building the wall is the most critical political issue in America, we must do it

[bendog]

On the poverty issue, I heard this story on the radio while driving. I thought it was interesting.

Forget Wealth And Neighborhood. The Racial Income Gap Persists

To me, the wall is just a politically divisive thing, and that's why Trump ran it up the campaign wall in the first place. If the US is place very hostile to illegal immigrants, of all stripes, I think we'll see fewer. It won't end, and the wall won't end it either. I think a war on drugs analogy is apt.

When a guy is convicted of selling drugs, and goes to jail, his family is separated. He's separated from his buds. His job. Choosing what to eat. Generally, that's why we put people in jail. To make them miserable over doing something we don't like.

Yet, people still sell drugs. Imo for two basic reasons. 1. They're addicts who need to pay for their own drugs, and they can't get honest work because they're addicts. I don't think there's an immigration analogy there, because these people usually have physical/psychological reasons affecting their addictions. 2. Other people, and I see them all the time, sell drugs because that's the way they can make the most money. Taking away their families and friends and freedom to be in the US, are not effective because ..... they're willing to chance it to have more stuff for them and their families.

As inhumane as it is, I think you see some changes in illegal immigration if you make it very hostile for families here, and very difficult to send remittances back. We will always see young people selling themselves into sexual slavery to get out of even worse hell holes. We will always see people willing to sail across seas filled with sharks because their situations are so awful. But a wall doesn't change that.

They are all races, but they are not NORMAL in your view.

There is something wrong with them, yes. There is no reason to be poor in this country. It's within the power of every American who does not have mental issues to not be poor.

And the majority of those people are white, grand wizard

Sure it is.

Yup. Anyone who studies in school can go to college. Anyone who cleans themselves up and works hard at work can keep getting better jobs. Being poor in this country is a choice that you make through poor decisions to keep yourself poor

You are wrong. I'm gonna go with intentionally wrong cuz it's the only way you can justify your utter disdain for entire groups of people. It is even worse than being wrong due to being a moron.

The chances of moving up the economic ladder in the US are 2nd worst in the industrialized world, only England lags behind the US. There is very little economic mobility in this country.

mention raising min wage and RW's crap flames ... Juan got the $7 an hour job that Americans refuse to take.

If Juan weren't here, most of the agricultural jobs he is doing would be done by machines, which would boost sales for the equipment makers, providing good paying manufacturing jobs for Americans and better paying agricultural jobs for those few agricultural workers still needed.

[emilynghiem]

And again, your argument is the military can stop them, but IF and ONLY IF we don't build a wall. That's just stupid

No, my argument is that the military can stop them more effective and cheaper than a wall that we do not need if we would first go after the companies paying them and created a realist, workable guest worker program that benefited both side.

But you want the wall and nothing else matters.

Strawman. I'm for that and never said I wasn't. We need to do EVERYTHING to stop illegal immigration here. Here's the thing. Proposing one thing is not saying I oppose everything else

Every time it has been mentioned by anyone you ignore ti and go of on some rant about NORMAL people. This is the first time you have even acknowledged it as an idea put forth, and were very careful not to endorse it directly.

Dear kaz and Golfing Gator
I agree that it will take more than just a wall.
Both for security reasons and for unity between people states and parties
to agree and focus on a unifying solution. We need to spell out more of the plans.

kaz I'm glad you see there needs to be SERIOUS support
for any such alternatives to work. The problem with Dems is that they
keep asking for things, but not showing any responsibility for how to build these solutions.
It's as if they are CLUELESS how much work, labor, time and resources are involved,
such as in promising "universal health care" -- when I brought up the realization that
it will take having hospitals in every county or district to meet the full demand because
people are already dying while waiting in line for care as it is, I get blank stares.
They want to ask for the carts without counting how many horses it will take
to pull that many people.

Golfing Gator and I both agree and envision there needs to be military
development along the border. So we can build jobs around that.
Gov Schwarzenegger had proposed to build prisons in Mexico
to accommodate Mexican nationals costing CA billions in resources every year.

So the military can be in charge of guarding prisons that will create
complexes, and cities can be built around that.

kaz just building a wall is like liberals yelling that "agreeing to global warming arguments"
is going to magically save the planet. No, it still takes all the work to stop pollution
and save resources. Whether we give a FLIP about global warming or walls or whatever.

We need more than that.

If you are waiting on "someone else" to lead a movement kaz
then that's also like liberals waiting on party or depending on govt.

What it is going to take is everyone supporting solutions, organizing
with our local party precincts, finding out who is leading or working
either for or against Trump, Democrats, Republicans, and asking
all these people, whether taxpayers or future leaders, to invest
DONATIONS into CREATING JOBS not more campaigns!

Here are model programs we can cite and ask to create JOBS
for leaders, dreamers, workers, veterans, students, etc
organizing sustainable Development along the border:

www.paceuniversal.com
Pace Universal builds schools and daycares to create safe jobs and centers for
women children and workers in regions otherwise exploited for trafficking

UTRGV - <system-page-title/>
UT at Brownsville already HAS an international student program that CROSSES the BORDER
what a concept

www.campusplan.org
Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee signed on to this innovative plan
to transform public housing into sustainable community campuses,
creating onsite programs for student interns to earn their education
while providing assistance and services to families to break the cycle of poverty
and get people off welfare instead of growing more dependent on govt and handouts

the expanded plan to restore the historic district
of Freedmen's Town into a campus for teaching self government
through business management of property and programs was
already posted www.freedmenstown.com

and replicating that plan along the border
might look like this www.earnedamnesty.org

So anyone can take these links and ask more party members and leaders
to start investing "campaign donations" into actually BUILDING
similar solutions within EACH DISTRICT. Then we can do the
same across states, nations, and the border. Build locally, expand globally.

kaz if you agree with any of these ideas, or you have
better ones, then take those to your local party leaders,
ask for a conference between parties and how to use
the Electoral College District system to set up meetings
with parties and start working out common proposals.

Instead of parties competing to raise money to OUTVOTE
each other at the polls, why not invest our resources
DIRECTLY in solutions that would CREATE JOBS FOR
ALL PARTIES, not just one office that several people can't all hold!

Seriously? How many nights will cover the military chasing a thousand people a night across the desert cover?

You keep repeating the lie of a thousand people a night across the desert cover. If you take away their reason for coming, the only ones crossing will be the ones here to do harm, and there are not thousand of those a night.

Let me ask you this, do you see illegal immigration as a threat to our nation?

Do the math...he’s not far off with his figure of speech that you’ve taken literally...Bear in mind the numbers are way down.

“Border Patrol agents nabbed 16,089 illegal immigrants trying to sneak in, while Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers identified another 5,570 illegal immigrants who showed up without authorization at the ports of entry.
The combined 21,659 illegal immigrants are still the lowest numbers for June in years, but the spike is worrisome because illegal immigration generally begins to slow in the summer months. Indeed, the last four years saw an average drop of 10 percent in Border Patrol apprehensions in June — but this year saw an 11 percent rise.“

You're a liar, I don't ignore other proposals. You just made that up.

I'm totally for a major guest worker program. But not until we solve the problem of people coming here with visas and not leaving when they expire.

Besides the wall, we need to clean things up then implement jail time for anyone here illegally. Minimum three months for a first offense.

And your idea to have the military chase thousands of people around the desert would be insanely expensive. We'd burn through $20 billion in months, and the $20 billion is one time to build the wall. Maintaining it would be far cheaper than that a year

Bull shit. 1 million illegal aliens come here across the southern border a year. That is almost 2,740 people a night on average, which is by definition "thousands"

And you keep ignoring the fact that if they had nobody willing to pay them, most would not come. But you, again, refuse to even talk about that side of it. Why is that?

 

[sealybobo]

In the end, if we don't build the wall, the Democrats will smother us. They have already flipped California and New Mexico into solid blue States. Illegal voters have turned Nevada light blue. And they have turned Texas and Arizona from solid to light red.

The issue of illegal immigration has been an endless game of kick the can for decades. But this is it. The authoritarian leftist Democrat party is on the verge of a stranglehold on the country and the end of our freedom. That's why the Democrats fight so hysterically against the wall. They don't think it won't work, they know it will.

The reason this is THE issue is that for that reason, every other issue is dependent on the wall. If we don't build the wall, then Texas will eventually flip and with that alone we're done. Hispanics over time like all other Americans become more conservative as they become more successful. But that takes time and a million illegals coming here a year floods that.

I didn't vote for Trump last time for two main reasons. First, I'm a capitalist and he isn't. Free trade is the beating heart of capitalism. Second, he has been a pig to women. Unlike Democrats who voted twice for a sexual predator and again for his hoe who attacked his victims again, that does matter to me.

But now it's down to this. We must end the endless flow now. And for me, my decision of whether I will vote for him comes down to this. Build the wall and I'll vote for him. Don't, and I won't. I can't imagine what would make me flip from that. This is THE political question in our country. We must build the wall, and build it now.

I voted that I did not vote for 2016 but I will in 2020 because I believe/hope he'll actually do it.

Please explain your vote if you voted you will change your vote regarding Trump either way.

You didn’t vote? Then I’ve lost all respect for you loser.

I voted for Gary Johnson, liar. I never said I didn't vote.

And you are why I make people identify themselves. You're a leftist socialist and you claim to have voted for Trump. What a load

Did I rig your results?

No, but you're obviously dishonest as you do nothing but argue for Democrats and Democrat policies all day long

i have a thread titles I'm a Republican now. Clearly I'm not a Republican now. BUT, I make some good points why I have abandoned the Democratic party. Why do I care about poor people when 80% of them don't even vote? The 80% deserve to be poor and don't deserve any attention from any politicians. THey need to understand if you don't vote you don't matter.

I'll be ok if Republicans get their way. I'd prefer Democrats be in charge but if poor people like you want Republicans then I won't stop you from shooting yourself in the foot.

 

[sealybobo]

You didn’t vote? Then I’ve lost all respect for you loser.

I voted for Gary Johnson....

Who called Trump's wall "asinine".

So your standard is you only vote for people you agree with on every issue? Wow, what a stupid standard. Is that seriously your point?

Trumps not capitalistic enough for you?

No, he's not. Free trade is the beating heart of capitalism and Trump is not for free trade.

"Fair" trade is a euphemism for government controlled trade. That and that Trump has been a pig to women is why I voted for Gary Johnson

I disagree with you libertarians. You think there should be no referee in the game of business but that's ridiculous.

Democracy - Not "The Free Market" - Will Save America's Middle Class

You're a liar, I don't ignore other proposals. You just made that up.

All I can go by is what you post and you've have not talked about anything but the wall,the wall, the wall....

I'm totally for a major guest worker program. But not until we solve the problem of people coming here with visas and not leaving when they expire.

how does the wall fix this problem?

Besides the wall, we need to clean things up then implement jail time for anyone here illegally. Minimum three months for a first offense.

Holy shit, that would get really expensive really quick.

And your idea to have the military chase thousands of people around the desert would be insanely expensive. We'd burn through $20 billion in months, and the $20 billion is one time to build the wall. Maintaining it would be far cheaper than that a year

Bull shit, the military members are alrday paid for, there is money being saved by not having them in other countries and guarding the border could be tied into their training. Every pilot has to have a set number of NVG hours every month, the infantry practices patrolling, UAV guys could be used.

A million Mexicans walk up to a reinforced concrete 30 foot wall dug down into the ground.

They laugh and say wow, that might as well not be there at all!

Then they proceed to ___ and the million illegal aliens enter the United States ...

You fill in the blank

Buy plane tickets. Go around the wall. Enter through a border check point.

To buy a plane ticket they have to have a Visa. Sure, some could get here that way, but nowhere near a million. And seriously, border check points? They don't check ID? Of course they do.

We need to close off the Visa overstay, but obviously you have not proposed how anywhere near a million will get through the wall that way

The wall won't stop anyone. Especially since it won't be built.

That's why leftists are laying yourself on the ground to stop it.



You know that's the only way it won't be built, and you know it will work if it is. It would be the end of the Democrat party as we know it. Your entire farm system will be obliterated.

So once that happens, are you going to try to get the blue Americans you've been spitting on back?

No it isn't. It's the fact that it's stupid. It sends the wrong message and is a waste of money.

Ya dumb shit.

Gotcha, because illegal aliens can walk through walls like they aren't there. I think you're thinking of space aliens. Like the ones that live in your brain. Oh, and your sock drawer.

So you oppose fencing around nuclear power plants because they don't work too, right?

For most people, poor is a choice. They don't work for an education, they don't work at their jobs, they just accept their lot in life and make choices that keep them poor.

Unlike you, I don't tie that to race. Race is irrelevant. And there are plenty of poor white people, Grand Wizard

They are all races, but they are not NORMAL in your view.

Actually, you study in school, you can go to college. Period. And you clean yourself up, work at your job, you will keep getting better paying jobs. You save, you live below your means. You won't be poor.

Explain in your Marxist mind how that isn't true

There won't be a wall. And whatever is built will be incomplete. There will be gaps.
