    Op was talking about a wall. Why are we talking about a wall? Illegal immigration

    A Democrat line is that all/most illegal immigration is overstaying visas so how can there be a surge at the border? Also if Trump created it why was he talking about building a wall in 2016? Did he have a crystal ball or was it already an issue prior to him?

    I guess Trump's legacy will be all the unity he creates when the GOP to embraces judicial interventionism the way the DNC does. Trump on track to seat 200 federal judges.::):

    You do understand that majority doesn’t mean all, right?

    Where did I say they shouldn’t be stopped? I guarantee I am for more aggressive actions than most of the ones screaming they want a partial wall.

    Why do the pro wall do nothing else crowd have such a hard time with definitions?

    If we wrapped a wall around America that was not scalable with no breaks, we would still have over 60% of illegal immigration that flies in or entrees at checkpoints. Since no one is proposing a full wall this number skyrockets. Why spend billions of dollars on something that will only hinder — not stop — a quarter of the issue?

    You're blaming the victim, it isn't our job to fix every S***hole country. We can't even get civilization on the South Side of Chicago.

    dems gave Trump money for walls, just not a great wall of Trump across the entire southern border, he needs to build a wall where needed with that money

    Trump is just whining cause he can't brand his name across the entire southern border - if Trump builds it, dems will tear it down... so a waste of money

    The facts disagree with you, the San Diego wall reduced illegal crossings over 90%, similar to the wall in Israel.

    As Milton Friedman said, you can't have both open borders and a welfare state.

    Trump never asked for a wall across the entire border, only strategically where most needed.

    So your position is since we can't stop it all why try?

    Anything done is an improvement and I don't trust your numbers given the whole crisis on the boarder and all. Also another reason is I'm positive poor and working class families are footing the bill for these illegal aliens.

    I'm sure that's how you also feel on issues like climate change as well right? Either we stop it in one act or we sit on our hands until we find perfect solutions

    Hey I have an idea, trump should get money appropriated in the proper manner and then he won't need to worry about judges. That orange pos is NOT a dictator, no matter how much some wish he were.

    That isn’t my point at all. My point is to have solutions not feel good campaign propaganda

    If ridiculous solutions that will be costly or ineffective are proposed for ‘climate change’ then I would be against them also.

    I don’t think people are really causing climate change to a significant extent — it’s definitely happening as it has since the earth was formed — but we definitely need to control pollution and waste across the board.

    Judicial activism. It will be overturned but time will have been lost and that's the real goal here. The DNC and its judge pool are betting they can run out the clock on term 1 in the hopes that term 2 doesn't happen.

    It will certainly focus the stakes of the election. Trump's immigration positions are much more in tune with voters, who reject open borders and Sanctuary Cities.

    You said the wall would help on some level so id definitely say the word ridiculous is an embellishment.

    So your against the Paris climate accords? The one that has caused over 32 weeks of riots by yellow vested french citizens?

    There is anywhere from 11- 22 million illegal immigrats in America now.

    It cost Americans on average 11,777 per student for a prek-12 education so let's say 4 million of that 11-22 million are children that works out to 5.8 billion law abiding tax payers have to pay out.

    Also I couldn't find an actual incarceration rate for illegal aliens because 49 states don't record that data so I'll use the us average which is 7.6%. let's say there are 7 million adult illegal immigrants multiplied by a 7.6% rate gives you 532000 illegal immigrats in jail with an average sentence duration of 1,915 days. It costs America $94 a day to jail someone so it costs roughly 96 billion dollars of tax payer money.

    That's just the start and who pays for it all? The middle class

    Ok, how many of the illegals currently in the country would a wall remove? Why can none of you answer this fairly basic question?

    None.

    You think a wall alone would do it? No it's somewhat effective but it's also symbolism, the real Lynch pin in the whole thing would be updated the laws. I don't care that they're here I care that hard working Americans are footing the bill.

    Get a wall though and "concentration camp" attendees should go down considerably, which should make Dems over joyed.

    The problem is unless it’s a full wall it will not stop anyone, just shift them to other areas — and a wall ignores 60% of the problem.

    Right so then like I said unless it's perfect your against the measure right?

    I'm sure you'll be consistent in your thoughts on the green new deal right?

    Why fix the issue cause the middle class is paying for it now, well that works until the money's gone
