Guys, nothing to worry about at the border.
yeah, it's escape from NYC out there. lol
The basis for the first part is that we cant keep drugs out of prisons. And the idea behind the wall is to stop drugs, terrorists, and illegal immigrants. The idea that it will stop drugs is laughable at best. Theres never been a terrorist attack by anyone who illegally crossed the Mexico border as far as I remember. You can cite as many articles about crimes committed by illegal aliens all you want but it not evidence of anything. Take a large enough group of people and there are going to be bad ones. Its no more proof than any one article I post about the police. Beyond that, much of the violent illegal aliens are a result of our own policies towards Central and South America bullying them into fighting our war on drugs.
Cajun makes a good point here, which is that immigration and asylum applications are increasingly coming from Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala, where US policy has promoted social breakdown that has led to unsafe conditions in those countries. Also salient is the point that as horrific as the cartel violence in Mexico has been for the past several years, it ultimately exists because Americans really, really like drugs.
No its because Americans have the money. There is a demand for drugs everywhere.
Who is saying anything about stopping it completely?
I'm not sure what else to say if you don't think that a wall will slow the drug traffic. They are getting through the border whether it be through open areas or POE. A wall funnels to more heavily scrutinized areas and that will result in more apprehension.
why not fund the government then discuss "border security" to a legislative conclusion
Why doesn't (R) propose legislation to build and fund the wall as prescribed in the constitution
?
'Border Security' or whatever that means to Democrats have been discussed for a long time. Everyone knows where everyone stands. Your stance is that the Republicans are holding up everyday wages to get a wall. Our stance is that you don't want to agree to protect Americans in exchange for everyday wages.
Its up to the American people to decide what the truth is.
" Your stance" vs "our stance"
