Puerto Ricans?
We have a pretty sizable PR population here. The only PR's that I met that don't know English are those who recently arrived--not those that grew up here.

So you think those recently arriving "AMERICAN CITIZENS" standing in line with food stamps are illegals?We have a pretty sizable PR population here. The only PR's that I met that don't know English are those who recently arrived--not those that grew up here.

Well instead of finishing the wall we could declare the Mexican border to be a free fire zone.Youre right, walls dont work, but if you allow US citizens to shoot trespassers, soon the stinking bodies will be enough of a deterrent to stop future trespassers.

I never said where the Puerto Ricans "grew up", that;s an invention of your imagination. I said that Puerto Ricans, as Americans Citizens, are still apt to not speak english with someone else who speaks spanish.Where did you get something like that? I was making reference to your comment that Puerto Rican's grow up here without learning English.

If you did that it might finally get the conservatives to do some serious rioting for a change.I was thinking of doing that for the restricted areas of Congress. So the Ashli Babbits wouldn't have to even break a window to be in violation.

Who grows up in this country without learning basic English?
Puerto Ricans?
You leftists have terrible memories.
Who grows up in this country without learning basic English?
Because they didn't speak a word of English. Who grows up in this country without learning basic English?
So where don't they learn English as a child?Didn't anybody take civics?
"This country" is the United States of America
The United States of America is a federal republic consisting of 50 states, a federal district (Washington, D.C., the capital city of the United States), five major territories, and various minor islands
Puerto Ricans speak English, moron.Maybe you skipped civics, but Puerto Rico is part of "this country"
Hence all Puerto Ricans, grow up "in this country". Even if they never leave Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States. It became a U.S. territory in 1898, when it was acquired from Spain after the Spanish-American War. With approximately 3.4 million residents, Puerto Rico is the most highly populated of all United States territories. People who are born in Puerto Rico are U.S. citizens.
In other words, they speak English.I never said where the Puerto Ricans "grew up", that;s an invention of your imagination. I said that Puerto Ricans, as Americans Citizens, are still apt to not speak english with someone else who speaks spanish.
Puerto Rico, Indian territories, Natives in Alaska, American SamoaSo where don't they learn English as a child?
That's "some" Puerto Ricans speak english.Puerto Ricans speak English, moron.
Were you born a dumbass?In other words, they speak English.
This argument makes no sense. If nearly all the land at the border is “privately owned” (which it isn’t), then why would Feds be able to patrol it or observe it through installed cameras?Fixed fortifications are monuments to the stupidity of man. Whatever can be built by man, can be destroyed by him.
General George Patton - 1942
Over 90% of the land boarding the Rio Grande is privately owned. The State or Federal Government cannot simply steal land from private owners and start building a wall. Legal cases involving eminent domain can be challenged in court, and many have gone on for years on appeal, going back to the days of GW Bush when he tried it. This will cost the Government a great deal in time and money for each case (and there are thousands of them) The Government won't win all these cases, leaving many large gap's in the wall that illegal immigrants can simply walk through. Then there are building permits, along with these will come challenges from city and county counsels over size limitations and zoning restrictions, all this in each city and county along the border before construction can begin (...and if you really think Mexico is going to pay for all this, I'll sell you the Brooklyn bridge - cheap!)
A faster, cheaper, and more effective plan, will be to increase funding for additional border patrol units and invest in more high tech surveillance equipment, rather than trying to use 9th century solution to a 21st century problem.
The same way that cellphone towers litter private property throughout the united states. As small structures, they are able to get easements for their placement and maintenance.This argument makes no sense.
