LIBERAL WRITER: Trump’s Border Wall Would be DANGEROUS for ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
Progressives Today ^ | 08/24/2015 | Aleister

You really have to marvel at the stupidity of progressives and now is one of those times.

One of the main reasons Donald Trump is doing so well in the polls is because he’s saying what many Americans are thinking about illegal immigration and border security.

National Journal columnist Clare Foran worries that if a wall is built on the border, as Trump has suggested, people who try to cross into America illegally could be injured.

Her new column is truly stunning:

“ Donald Trump’s Border Wall Could Have Deadly Consequences

Donald Trump wants America to build a permanent wall at the U.S.-Mexico border. “We’ll have a great wall. We’ll call it the Great Wall of Trump,” the real estate mogul told Fox Business recently.

If you build a really big wall, should be no problems.

I agree. Property rights are a foundation in our culture and society.

At what cost? The Mexicans will pay for it, right? We'll see.

I have a problem with fixed fortitications. They have proven to be ineffective and expensive to maintain in the past.

If it was up to me there would be 40ft wide mine field on the north side........

100 yards. With auto-targeting 50 cal machine guns with overlapping fields of fire.

If they stay on their side of the border it is dangerous?
If so it is time for their own Mexican revolution and they can create their own Garden of Eden.

A couple of weeks ago, some idiot at an Arizona paper was whining that some portion of an existing fence was too high, and illegals were getting hurt falling off it.

For their safety we could past job applications on the Mexican side of the wall. That would ensure that they wouldn’t dare to even touch the wall, much less fill one out.
