Illegal Immigration
RE: Illegal Immigration
You made your opinion clear.  Fair enough.

RE: Illegal Immigration
So, let's say Dumpy McTrumpface gets his wall...a solid wall from the Pacific to the Gulf. And it's also deep enough to keep people from tunneling under....and we make anyone coming up by plane or landing by boat/ship pass through all the tests to prove they are from America...who thinks that crime in America will stop?

Anyone?

Drugs, sex trafficking, robberies, murders, gang activity...all the buzzwords used...they will just stop, as if by magic...right? Someone explain that to me. 'Cause I really want this BS platform explained.


That said, I am all for legal immigration. I am also behind any plan to humanely hold people who are seeking asylum.

Trump has been wandering around in circles for years now like fucking Rainman...instead of 'five minutes to Wapner' it's 'build a wall'. Trump's miniscule brain is stuck in a loop and he has way too many joining him on this obsessive mission to nowhere.

The hilarious thing is that I think that he actually was going to walk away from the wall, just before the shutdown. But then Hannity, Coulter, and Limbaugh taunted him over giving up on the wall. So now we have people talking about President Hannity and President Coulter. Liberal pundits should be talking about President Hannity and President Coulter endlessly. It will drive Trump nuts. I think that it could even turn him against the right completely. Some lefties need to jump in there and start sympathizing with him for how mean the right is being with him. We'll get him completely reeducated and constantly quoting Marxist literature.

Crime won't stop, but we'll eliminate some. Who said that crime would stop? The purpose of a wall isn't to stop all crime. Reducing it is just one of the benefits. The purpose of the wall is to help us control our border.

Yep, it sounds like you're saying that the wall isn't actually worth very much, aside from symbolic value.

So it's worthless then and the border can be controlled (if it needs to be controlled ) by less expensive and less absurd means .

Quote: The problem with your assumption is that you're wrong.  Why don't you ask me before you say I'm against immigration.  I'm highly in favor of immigration.  And don't come back with something ignorant like saying I only want white immigrants. That's worn out.
You have done fuck all to convince us otherwise .

Quote:Border enforcement officials support a wall.  It's worked very for Israel.  It's much easier and efficient to stop them at the border.  It's also more humane than chasing people around and deporting them; especially those with families.
Who cares if they support it . Israel isn't the US nor is the border remotely the  same . And no it's neither efficient  nor humane .

Quote: Our present enforcement is woefully inadequate as thousands and thousands cross illegally every year.  Do you agree that we need stricter enforcement?
Nope it's more then adequate and it doesn't need to be stricter

Quote:I can show the drug runners that come across daily and the damage they're doing to the country.

That's a question of internal enforcement not immigration this is a false dichotomy 



Quote:  Also the abuse and killing that is being perpetrated by the human smugglers on the immigrants that could be stopped or greatly decreased by a wall. 

No it won't be stopped by the wall 



Quote:If we're worried about what Mexico thinks of us, just build the wall and be a good neighbor to Mexico.  We can explain why we're building it and maintain good relations with them.  If they want to hate us because we want to control our own borders, that's their problem.
That just dumb

Quote: How do you propose we stop them when hundreds throw rocks and rush the border control agents?
Simple we don't

RE: Illegal Immigration
There is no contradiction between an open border and controlling citizenship nor in there any contradiction between stopping drug trafficking and human smuggling and an open border . This frames the issue poorly immigration and law enforcement should not be put under the same umbrella and the border shouldn't be a demilitarized zone , And considering illegal immigration is falling and the crimes related to it are falling . This is a fake crisis .

Oh and furthermore tons of Palestinians are able to sneak into Israel by climbing the wall and the security barriers with Egypt are frequently bypassed .

Jesus fucking Christ! Stop watching Fox News. Being against an expensive money devouring wall that would cost well over $20 billion and would not work as imagined is not being against having immigration laws and fences.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
