Border wall, I guess we'll see. Regardless of what happens there, I hope to see better regulation at the border. I have no problem with legal immigration, but when people can slip through the borders, gain amnesty, and stay here indefinitely, it not only encourages more of it, but those who attempt to come here legally often get put on the back burner. If I wanted to go somewhere else, and I knew I could either wait two years or try to make a break for it on the border and get amnesty, which do you think I'm going to pick? Probably try my luck at making a run for the border.
It's a problem all across the board. A politician from any party can come in and stay indefinitely. Many of them are crooked.
The idea of a border wall was around before Trump. He's just the one currently being tagged with it. I imagine we'll see some kind of compromise before it's all over, but right now it's a bunch of idiotic games between both sides. Just yesterday the house passed a spending bill that completely excludes funding. Waste of time. They're trying to make a statement with something they know will get shot down. If the Senate doesn't do it, which I'm assuming they will, it's just going to get vetoed. They can try to run in back through, but I can't imagine it's even worth the paper it's printed on.
