The game of arguing back and forth over the best way to address the issue, in order to avoid any actual action, is over.
Pretending to believe that there is a better way to address the problem is not reason to be against the Wall.
Build the Wall. Deport all the illegals. Fuck the employers. Do it all, and do it yesterday.
But nobody is talking about part 2 and 3 of your plan. Without them the wall is just a waste of money. The wall is all about a political victory, not about immigration.
I've heard plenty on 2. and a little on 3. That the media is not talking about it, does not mean it is not happening.
There has not been one single legit plan to deport 11 to 20 million people (depending upon who you talk to). Nobody, including your guy in the White House has ever given it a single serious thought.
If ICE were driving companies out of business with fines and jail time it would be all over the media
1. Deportations are up. ANd you build the wall and secure the border, and they will stay deported. Let's do that for a few years and see where we end up.
2. I've seen a few reports of companies getting fucked. They are blips. Doesn't mean they are isolated examples. If they are isolated, I want MORE.
There is an old saying, want in one hand and shit in the other...see which fills up faster.
That is nice.
Controlling who and what comes into the country is the most basic function of good governance.
Only an enemy of the people could oppose that.
