The only thing that will stop it is armed military with orders to shoot anything that moves.

He is absolutely correct. We should do all those things. In the meantime making Mexico understand that there will be a price for aiding and abetting criminals will help facilitate a solution. The tariff alone wont solve the problem and Trump never said it would.

Immigration is an elephant symbol see problem. And how do you an elephant.... hmmmm?

“.....just as building an effective wall will not “solve” the immigration problem.”

Disagree! Building an unscalable wall absolutely will solve the illegal immigrant problem.

"I have a great deal of support for the notion about securing the borders, but I think we politicize the issue instead of solving the problem," he continued.

Dumbass, politics is why the problem hasn't been solved.

It’s one step, and it makes “illegal immigration” harder, but it doesn’t “solve” it. Not until we do a Wall on the Canadian border as well. Now you say we don’t have to worry about Canadians? Well, we do if Canada will pass Mexicans through. The flow will shift to the least resistance at each point.

FOOLISH politics.

Trump’s negotiation-based politics is wiser, but even wiser things are possible yet.

Unfortunately, that would encompass about 60% of all "Republicans" in Congress. The REAL task is to find a Democrat to support the tariff.

The flow from Canada to US is numbered at about 900 for all of 2018.

The most effective way to stop this cold is to give illegals NOTHING except a bus ticket ack to where they came from....period!!

No healthcare,food stamps, money, food...Nothing except a place in a detention center to wait for next bus.

As soon as word gets back that the faucet has been shut down for ALL illegals he flow will all but stop.

Well would YOU try to get here through Canada if the “Wall” on the south was porous?

Now would YOU try it if that “Wall” was sealed?

Irrelevant statistic except to prove that the route works....

Canada doesn’t have the staffing for the kind of guard we can mount. Just saying. Watch your back door if you lock the front door.

How do they get to Canada to begin with? Obviously they need to navigate an additional 1500 miles up the Pacific coast. Not as easy as you may think and not doable in large groups without being seen and apprehended.

Canada, for one, could let them fly up.
