The whole problem could be solved by simply building the wall.
That is correct but the Congress has a different goal in mind.
Making themselves personally wealthy and powerful.
The whole problem could be solved by stopping all the incentives for them to come here in the first place. The wall is a foolish thing. It is more of a symbol and a silly one. What we need is a high tech border fence like the Germans have build for the Saudis. Much more effective. Can’t be tunneled without hearing, can’t be crossed without sensing someone in the no-man’s-land kill zone.
What we need to do is enforce the laws that we have. We also need the President to address the nation to explain the civics rules about border control and citizenship to the fools.
I agree. The wall is the key. By wall I mean about 800 miles of concrete and steel, and add to that high tech drones, flir, listening devices, etc., over the ENTIRE border, quick access routes (roads) along entire border, and all the new agents and techies necessary to run and patrol all the above
The failure of the GOP in Congress to approve the money for the wall stands out like a sore thumb.
President Donald J. Trump wants the wall, send the money.
The GOP in Congress is bought and paid for by the cheap labor business interests.
Why don’t we do doable things now, like promising all immigrants, legal or illegal, that they will receive NO taxpayer benefits. No food at the border, no shelter at the border, no free health care, no free education. That should not be so difficult. Who needs a wall?
