A Great Nation Would Hire Immigrants to Build The Wall

"“We couldn’t do that. It would be considered forced indentured slavery.”"

Couldn't do it because of mere appearances? Never mind that it would not have been what it would've 'appeared' to be. So, who is in charge of what anything is "considered" as being? Are we so shallow that we put appearances before all else, no matter what's at stake? If I get thrown out of a bar because I say something negative about Islamic extremist terrorism, ISIS or al Qaeda, why should I care what it looks like to people who were not within earshot of the verbal exchange between me, another beer drinker and whatever young female bartender who serves me? Screw them all and what it may 'appear' to look like. The emphasis on decorum, social "grace", PC, etc. is an impediment to actual quality and excellence in all things that really matter. Don't let the smooth taste fool you!

No. A great nation would take illegal aliens invading this country and other criminal elements under incarceration and put them to work in forced labor building the wall.

Ridiculous.

W’re not short the labor or resources to build the wall and far better to pay Americans. We’ve already given far too many jobs to illegals and low-skill legal immigrants over Americans as it is.

And plenty of our wealthiest and most culturally cohesive countries in the modern era are just that because they’ve resisted the lure of cheap, low-skill immigrants.

“COMING HERE TO SUCK OFF OUR WELFARE SYSTEM”—there, that fixes it.

Yep - built a lot of brick streets way back when with chain gang workers....
