    Just think of all those jokester democrats that voted for walls or the jokester California that requested upgraded walls. They were all so sure they didn’t work. LOL

    I was always wondering why no one thought of such nature friendly pollution free solution?

    According to Wikipedia she has a degree I international relations and economics from the Boston University.
    The credibility of her school dropped in my eyes by a lot. I generally don’t even interview people from Phoenix university and it looks like I’m going to add this school to my short list of don’t interview!

    Crossings have been steadily declining since the early 2000's. This is not an emergency.

    I would rue the day that our only recourse to getting rid of illegals was making our very existence, as Americans, so intolerable that they wanted to escape... Perhaps AOC didn't have to take Social Studies, lol...

    Caravan after caravan arriving from Central America. They're scheduled like a Greyhound buses, all headed north.

    No. No problem at all.

    And how much of our workforce is illegally here? 10%? What a disaster.

    We wouldn't be an apartheid state because Mexico is a sovereign nation. We too, are a sovereign nation. We're just finally getting around to bolstering our national defenses. Our politics is upside down when this is a problem, but non-US citizens using our resources? Perfectly fine and dandy.

    None of the losers bashing AOC defeated an incumbent congressman and they never will.

    & we really need a moratorium on all influx! Additionally we need to 'piss out' several million that are here illegally, just to settle some of the US 'bloat'...

    Deportation does not work well in :flagus:

    Similar to the "we need new congressmen, YOU get a new one
    because mine is one of the good ones
    " choir is the
    Deport your Mexicans.
    No, Not My Mexicans.
    They're the hard working good ones.

    Yes to cutting immigration way back,
    and quality - not equality.

    The Reagan Amnesty was the correct move.
    Sadly it lacked a wall.

    We need a system of immediate return if caught illegally crossing the border,
    and apply for your rights at the local :flagus: embassy
    over there. Avoid future deportations.

    No housing etc. while being reviewed for deportation.
    Immediate! :rant:



    Twilight Zone time.
    Imagine what President Hillary would do.

    She and Trump are two sides of the same lunacy.

    We do need a massive increase in security at ports of entry, along the full length of the border and in the enforcement of visas. What we do not need is Trump's childlike fixation that would spend all available tax dollars on any one thing without regard to the actual weak points in a large and complex security problem. Knowing hw much is needed and what to spend it on is discussion to be had with experts. Not with politicians, though they need to listen, but will not do so.

    Trump is mentally off kilter. Amoral, scarily under educated as to his own duties and responsibilities. Or for that matter any topic in the area of Civics and Law and Statesmanship and where when and how exactly you may grab a woman you want to bang. No wonder Evangelical folks love and adore him so, the first pig to attain sainthood.

    AOC is young, ignorant and filled with passion. Sadly, that ignorance is the steering wheel of her passions. Thus she says foolish things, seeks after foolish goals. A common failing of the still very young.

    Before she joined only republicans were masterbating to C Span. They call him dirty donald also.

    Razor wire can't main, it's made to look dangerous but it's fairly flimsy and can only cause scratches if you're not careful. I use to climb through it to play on construction sites as a child. It will tear holes in clothing.

    The think I most enjoy in supporting Trump is he won, your candidate lost.

    Yes, it's a huge problem with a lot of moving parts. The pols seem more interested in scoring political points than in solving the problem.

    BTE, we could use an effective e-verify program, too.
    She's 30-years-old, fer crissake. She should expect more of herself.

    I think for such a leadership position, her "piss and vinegar" passion is what has helped her achieve early success. Its how she matures at this level that will determine her future success. She's twenty nine which is still pretty young to expect sagacity, don't you think? She can't even run for president, yet.
