Kate Steinle's Killer Found Not Guilty

[Catholic_Lady]

Instead of building a wall, we should just ban guns. If the illegal immigrant never had a gun, Kate Steinle would have been alive. If it'd save ONE life, surely it would be worth it. And unlike the wall it would neither be expensive, nor would it have negative environmental impact.

The gun was stolen. It wouldn't have made a difference if guns were banned. The illegal immigrant/criminal shouldn't have been in this country, though I highly doubt a wall would have kept the prick away.

Uhh...then we don't need to compound that problem by looking the other way when illegals sneak across our border and commit those same crimes! Get that wall built!

I'm one of the liberals who agrees that tighter border security is a good idea.

That said, the idiotic wall is a product of a very simplistic mind who can't even comprehend the intelligence and determination of a domestic cat - never mind the ingenuity of a desperate human being. I don't know off the top of my head what the best way to tackle this situation would be but the simplistic idea of a big fucking wall over a thousand mile span is something worthy of a 5-year-old. Seriously, grow to fuck up! Real-world problems are not solved with knee-jerk ideas come up with by drunk idiots with no imagination.

Even if a stupid wall would be effective, are you aware of a recent study that the Eminent Domain cases required to seize land for the idiotic wall against unwilling private holders would carry on for decades?

Pull your simplistic head out of your simplistic ass and THINK! By the time we could even build the idiotic thing (at enormous cost), the situation would likely be changed.

I'm all for PRACTICAL measures to better secure our borders. I do agree it's a problem. More border patrol agents better equipped and with surveillance drones at their disposal might do the trick. I don't know because I haven't studied it. But a big, fucking wall? Are you serious? This ISN'T the middle ages. I doubt it would work even if it were. How hard is it to build a fucking ramp? It might seem hard to you because you are not in need but to a desperate person or a group of desperate people, it's just another hurdle to leap. If you feel you MUST achieve a certain end, you WILL find a way of achieving it because that is the Human Spirit. We do what we have to do.

The most effective way to secure our borders is probably to put pressure on the Mexican government to provide their people with a decent enough life so they won't feel compelled to flee here illegally. I'll admit I don't know what the practicality of that is but it's got to be better than the practicality of building a wall.

Cant say i disagree with anything here. Good post.
