Little Hungary managed to build a fence along its border with Serbia very rapidly, using soldiers and prisoners. Israel of course has a security fence to protect themselves from Muslim terrorists. So a fence sounds feasible to me. I just hope it is not some massive federal contractor project - instead we should deploy the Army Corps of Engineers and just build the thing working around the clock, similar to how the highway to Alaska was built during the Big One.

What about the 30 or 40 million illegals here?

What about the Obama Dreamers and other illegals still streaming across the border?

What about the Muslim invaders? They are part of the problem as well even though they are "legal".

The plan is to destroy America and make it a turd world Shiite hole where the rich and connected can play and enjoy their power and perks and the rest of us can just go to hell or suffer like everybody else in the current turd world.

Then ‘the editors’ shouldn’t have a problem with moving them back to mexico, certainly deportation is easier for them than straddling The Beast, wading through the Rio Grande and humping it over the border states to lefty Sanctuary Cities.

Washington Examiner is usually a good source. This is a rehash of a Salon.com article (IIRC).

The slowdown in illegal immigration is because the economic benefits aren’t as good as they were in 2006. When things get better, it will start up again in force.

On the other hand, even if it’s true right now, it will be a lot easier to send the ones who are here back south. And with a wall, we won’t have a repeat of the results of Reagan’s mistake when the economy improves.

Yet even on that very legitimate issue of safety, the available evidence suggests a criminal immigrant problem that is much smaller than Trump's rhetoric.

The author is volunteering to take the place of the next family destroyed by an illegal driving drunk? Stand in front when the next illegal alien felon who decides, on his sixth round trip to Mexico, to shoot up some random house?

I noticed the author pointed out that 1 in five of all reported sexual assault cases in Texas are by illegals - so a possible 25 percent drop in sex assault cases SIMPLY BY ENFORCING THE ALREADY WRITTEN LAWS is an empty and useless gesture?

Sure wish we could put all of these idiots in areas infested by gangs filled with illegals with a board saying 'I want you to stay, undocumented criminals!' Wonder who will take them out first, the illegals, or the blacks who are sick and tired of burying their children killed by illegals.

Mass immigration was last decade’s big problem in the U.S., not today’s.

Oh, how come nobody told me that before? Silly me. I could have sworn I saw all of those “unaccompanied minor” invaders from Central and South America within the last year. Time flies, huh? Okay, then, I’ll switch to Jebbie now.

Looks like we will have to depend on the warriors in the Republican Congress.

Would that be Marco Rubio you speak of? Rubio, the amnesty shill?

Did you hear Rubio’s response? Rubio was excellent and said that the problem needs to be broken down and dealt with from three different angles.

There’s no easy solution, alas, regardless of what Trump tells you (and he’s already backed down and said, well, maybe he can’t really deport 11 million people all at once...).

I guess you didn’t hear Rubio’s response either.

One thing he came out very strongly against, btw, was “family reunion.” He said that people should be admitted here if they benefit us, not just because they have relatives living here. This is the source of a lot of the abuse - the Tsarnaevs, for example, got in that way, and then several of the family members just overstayed their visas.
