I read an article here the other day where Trump was mulling the idea of deporting IA’s with removal orders. Why is he even HESITATING?

Wall is to stop illegal entry of all sorts.

This is needed because asylum law says on US soil. In many places secure fence/wall is set back from actual legal boundary. Meaning they can be on our soil before they get to the fence/wall.

I believe that for reasons of practicality of construction, the Wall (fence, whatever) is often not exactly on the border, it is a little inside the border. Some way to make that land inhospitable, but not inhumane, is needed.

As for increasing the detention time to 100 days, where the heck are we going to put these people?

Graham’s bill has some good points, but much more must be done to turn off the “magnet”.

we must develop solution using less-than-lethal force and the wall to stop them from stepping into the country.

Cheese and Rice.

Like RR said....”The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help”.

Each of these walking a-holes ignore the obvious, and thereby eff with us.

Sounds great, but how many neo-con GOP Senators will find an excuse to not vote on it.

This has zero chance in the House and 40% chance in the Senate.
Graham knows this but he is using this to get donors for his re-election.

He is saying shoot them with “love, and hugs, and free stuff”, while Effing the rest of us. Get a clue! Sheeesh.

Just so I understand this correctly ... y'all are in favor of shooting people for crossing the border? That's cold-blooded. Seriously.

Are you serious, Clark?
Look, do country’s have borders?
Ok, should country’s have borders?
Point being, there are no country’s without borders.
Please answer the first two questions.
I will address your concern once I understand what your border stance is.
Thank you!

What does that have to do with shooting people?

As I said before ... I am all about border security and an immigration system that actually works and is enforced as intended. But shooting border crossers?!

Are you ok for someone to enter your home, unannounced? Do you lock your doors? Do you have a door, or a wall in your home?

Cut to the chase. What would you do if someone entered your apartment/home, unwanted?
A) Invite them in
B) Ask them to leave
If the answer is A, do I have to pay for their care?
If the answer is B, what if they just ignored you and moved their family in?

We the people. If we want to keep our country and if the legislation is written right...we need to HAMMER Congress.

We the people have done that every time Congress tries to give amnesty. Just depends on how bad we want to keep our country.

Point taken. But - at least in my state - it is legal and warranted to use deadly force if necessary to protect my property. Is it legal - and moral - to open fire on a person crossing the border?

Not as a citizen. Our job is to get Congress to pass the proper laws that protect the citizens. It is the duty of the POTUS to enforce The Constitution and protect the USA. We are being invaded by foreign people. Invaded. Agree or disagree?

An invasion of numbers ... not military force.
