Look at the Data: Why Trump’s Insistence on a Wall Is the Right Choice for Public Safety

The federal government partial shutdown drags on as politicians can’t agree on what to do with illegal aliens. Trump wants a wall to keep out “illegal immigrants … bringing with them crime, tremendous amounts of crime,” but Democrats say that a wall is immoral and unnecessary.

I’m not worried. Democrats and fake news think Trump will agree to give in to end the shutdown.

They thought he was desperate to give the SOTU and they were sure they had them over the barrel. Then he said he would wait.

How long the shutdown continues, is anyone’s guess.

If democrats are against something then you know for sure it’s a good thing.

Democrats are not averse to spending the 5.7 billion,it’s that they want to spend it on technology,sensors,so they can get their cut from silicon valley.
Just ask Clyburn from South Carolina

The very good key point he makes is that the libs are misleading with their claim that immigrants are less likely to commit crime than citizens. This is because they lump in LEGAL immigrants with illegal immigrants.

What this article points out is that when you look just at ILLEGAL immigrants, they are far more likely to commit serious crimes. He even doesn't count the crime of having crossed the border illegally. Good article.

Build the wall, crime will fall!

Democraps are clamoring for a "virtual wall" to identify, detect and classify more than 95 percent of illegal border-jumpers.

The virtual wall" facilitates Democraps ability to monitor the border for their purposes:

<><> to give out “Welcome to Democrat America” goodie bags,

<><> handout lists of the most generous welfare states,

<><> register illegals to vote Democrat,

<><> handout bus tickets to electoral college states.

I hear Democrats plan to install Pay-Per View border cams.
Dems can enjoy watching their foot-soldiers cross the border into the US from the comfort of their Congressional offices.

The ONLY type of border barrier is a permanent one, not one that can be turned off, torn down or allowing secret access by drug cartel bribe monies.

Myself, if possible, would love to see something the scale of the Great Wall of China.

Electronic wall? There will be jammers apps available shortly for illegals to load into their smart phones.
