I think there are more important issues and money better spent than on building walls and fences to keep people out that are net payers into society. They, if they are illigals, don't get anything out. But they are consumers by necessity. As I said the last figures I know of, probably a year old, are illegals paying 11 billions in taxes.
I don't pay for their upkeep, you don't pay for their upkeep, so why the big concern? Show me anyone I am subsidysing with my tax money and I will be concerned at some level. Illegals aren't the problem. Tax money wasted on useless actionism is.
Abaris, I thought you agreed that when it comes to illegals, we should take a hard look and go by individual cases, rather than letting everyone stay or deporting everyone?
But yes, wall is stupid.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
