+OverSword Posted May 12, 2019 #27 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Ya’ know, I’m against people not crossing the border legally, but earlier today I was watching a news report about people in a local community running programs to assist people that have come here with nothing and do things like get them furniture, beds, tv....etc. and I couldn’t help thinking, that’s really nice. Now I see this build the wall trolling thread and think, there are a lot of jackasses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am attempting to discuss a serious policy issue in a rational manner, and you resort to flame baiting. Keep it up and I will report you. You didn't have to be baited. The moment you mention American "culture", you showed your true colors. There is no American culture. Mexican Americans have inhabited the southern part of the country before white people even came to this land. So to call a wall a protection of culture makes no sense. You know what you meant, and so do we. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what you meant, and so do we. There was no America before white people came to this land and there was no Mexico until 1821, so there were no Mexican Americans in the time you speak of. All countries have their own culture, it's what makes them unique. If there is no American culture, as you claim, what are people seeking who come here? Why not just stay in Mexico, if it's all the same? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they could even be used as carefully supervised labor for the purpose of constructing the border wall and its fortifications. Camps? Forced labor? You can’t be serious.

Here’s how I gauge that before using patriotism as the lamest of all excuses in an attempt to stifle logic and make any who question what you say traitorous. Does this really affect me and my life? In my case no it does not. I think you feel a need to be mad about something and this is the target of opportunity available. Much like Jews in nazi Germany. Put them in camps. Use them as forced labor. Sounds familiar doesn’t it. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a Libertarian who believes in a free market. It’s simple economics. If there were not a demand or market for workers then they wouldn’t be here. We need to change the rules to better fit reality and work in harmony with the encouragement of free market trade. Increase the number of foreign workers and make it easier and legal for them to come here. Keeping it illegal only serves the interests of the crime cartels whose main source of income is smuggling people across the border.

skliss Posted May 12, 2019 #49 Share Posted May 12, 2019 The cost, lots of charts in this article and the link to the full study is at the end. Border surge highest since 2011, each illegal immigrant costs $70,000, 7x deportation price The net costs to taxpayers for every illegal immigrant who sneaks into the United States has reached nearly $70,000, about seven times the cost of deporting them, and about $70 billion, according to a new report. And, according to federal Census data, the surge of legal and illegal immigrants across the Mexico-U.S. border has reached a new high since 2011 and matched the historic high of 1.75 million set in 1999. The latest Census data from 2016 shows that immigrants continue to come into the United States, both legally and illegally, and the costs to taxpayers in enforcement and social services continues to rise — even when offset by the taxes they pay. In two timely reports from the Center for Immigration Studies, the surge in numbers and price in the hit to taxpayers was revealed at a time when a new caravan from Latin America easing its way through Mexico is heading to the U.S. border and prompting threats from President Trump to block it from entering and ending birthright citizenship. The first analysis revealed the huge surge of legal and illegal immigrants into the U.S., enough to double the population of Philadelphia every single year. In the second report, the costs of illegal immigrants to taxpayers showed that amount spent is $69,570 per illegal immigrant over their time in the U.S., or $69.6 billion per million illegal immigrants. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/border-surge-highest-since-2011-each-illegal-immigrant-costs-70-000-7x-deportation-price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
