Think about it: we would have a way to vet immigrants for multiple years, make sure they come into the country with a firm grasp of culture, language, and skills... and: we would have a ready, first-strike, military force to send in when something needs to be done, but we don't really want to commit to anything too drastic. That way, if they win, it's a victory for the U.S., and of they lose...well, they weren't really us, you know? So it's like the Federal Reserve then. Create an independent entity so govt can relieve itself of its responsibility. But let me guess, the Minutemen on the border were just a bunch of crazies because they weren't state sanctioned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preacherman76 Posted January 5, 2017 #106 Share Posted January 5, 2017 This is one where I disagree with Trump. We don't need a wall. We just have to turn off welfare for non citizens, and put more resources to control the boarder. Any place that can build a wall bad enough to keep people out, is bad enough to keep people in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not saying its a problem today. But say there was a nuclear, or chemical attack where people on the boarder had to flee? Any number of things could happen where Americans near the boarder might need temporary shelter from Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorg Posted January 5, 2017 #111 Share Posted January 5, 2017 The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has estimated that 11.4 million unauthorized immigrants lived in the United States in January 2012. According to DHS estimates, "the number of illegal immigrants peaked around 12 million in 2007 and has gradually declined to closer to 11 million."[1] The DHS estimate "is in the same ballpark as several independent organizations that study illegal immigration, including Pew Research Center (11.3 million); the Center for Migration Studies (11 million), which studies migration and promotes policies that safeguard the rights of migrants, and the Center for Immigration Studies, which advocates for low levels of legal immigration (11–12 million)." Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_immigration_to_the_United_States I think a lot of the people not wanting a wall boils down to this. Just who is employing these people? Regardless, you can rest assured they are not paying social security, since they have no social security number, no taxes, they probably aren't receiving medical benefits, and more than likely are not receiving, full pay, "you know, being an illegal and all that" as spoken by their employer. So a wall would put a damper on the heftier paycheck of employers since they do not have to provide any benefits, other than a job, at reduced wages. So I bet that is the one screaming about "the wall." Watching their cheap labor go bye, probably makes them cry like a snowflake. So in the meantime, the taxpayer must provide part of their wages to support illegals when they need medical attention, or food and shelter, because the employers are illegally employing them. At what point do we put a stop to illegal immigration? Should we wait until the country falls under heavy debt, because their are now more illegals working and not paying taxes, and the taxpayer can no longer support the illegals and the U.S runs out of money to support welfare, WIC, free housing, and all the other programs genuine to the welfare of this nation? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamato Posted January 5, 2017 #112 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Jeez folks don't put Mexicans who stay in Mexico on our plate too. I guess that might be the natural progression of things after making illegal immigrants such a national priority. A better economy in Mexico would make Mexicans less likely to leave in the first place, and more likely to return back as well because they'll reunite with family and have a job too. So what do we get? No Ford/Carrier plants in Mexico! Less trade with Mexico and other North/Central American countries! A wall on the border with Mexico! These wonderful ideas serve to keep illegal immigrants here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gromdor Posted January 6, 2017 #115 Share Posted January 6, 2017 It's sounding more and more like Trump is planning on just finishing the 2006 secure fence act and slapping his name on it. Let's see if congress gives him the money for it. The only reason why Bush never finished is because the fiscal hawks thought it was a waste of money and never fully appropriated money for it.

Sweetpumper Posted January 6, 2017 Author #117 Share Posted January 6, 2017 President Barack Obama will reportedly have a big, beautiful wall around his new home in Washington DC. According to spy photos from TMZ, workers are currently building a brick wall around the rental home where the Obamas plan to live after leaving the White House. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/01/06/tmz-obama-building-wall-around-new-home/ Hmm.

Banks that Trump would apply for a loan with have more access to Trump's financial information than the electorate. Remember-he still hasn't released his taxes. And he has a history of non-payment to many of his contractors and business associates. His 0% tax rate could be because he legitimately owes more than he makes after all..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RavenHawk Posted January 10, 2017 #125 Share Posted January 10, 2017 The building of the Wall to me isn’t just and only a wall, it is a border system. The Wall includes enforcing current laws on the books and adding new appropriate ones. Which includes jail time or automatic deportation for violent felons and penalties for business that uses illegals. The 14th Amendment “anchor baby” loophole will have to be closed. Coming up with a deportation process that will include semi-amnesty to select individuals that are willing to pay restitution for being here illegally. Using multiple methods for closing the border. Which would be natural and man-made barriers. And bolstered by active and passive surveillance. This would allow R&D of new technologies and techniques. And all of this would need to be manned and maintained. I’d suggest that it be manned by high school grads offering a two year enlistment that while in service, they prepare for and follow an academic or vocational path post service. But all of this to me is THE WALL. This is want comes to mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
