You may be confusing stopping illegal immigration by building a wall on the southern border. Many thoughtful citizens in favor of effective and efficient immigration control consider the wall to be a huge waste of money that will not solve the problem. Worse, it is seen as an issue of ego for Trump.
Walls would do the job. Much of our opioid products come from that southern border and over 60,000 Americans are dying from them every year.
I mean really.........if the Democrats thought the wall would be an utter failure, WTF would they be fighting so hard against it? If they thought it would destroy the Republicans, they would even help them get that wall.
I don't care about the success of Democrats or Republicans. But if you jackboots build a wall, I'll vote for the first candidate promising to tear it down. So will a lot of other people. And it will all have been a waste. Why not find a solution that has real consensus?
Because nobody has the guts to offer a plan that would provide real results. Let me tell you mine:
Anybody caught in the US illegally after May 1, 2018 will be subject to a minimum 5 year prison sentence. It doesn't matter if you overstayed your VISA by one day, snuck across the border, or were brought here by your parents. When we catch you, you go to prison.
We would go from 11 million illegals to about 500 at most. And we wouldn't need a wall because everybody would be too scared to come here illegally.
Do you think you could get real consensus for your plan?
Not at all. That's the problem with politics today. Nobody has a set to take a stand. .
Right. So why not focus on what you can find consensus on?
