3rd DRUG (& PEOPLE) TUNNEL found under AZ border wall in a month...

Great. So you would agree that it's pointless and worthless, and there's no emergency to justify it.

I don't agree it is worthless, I just have serious doubts it is worth the cost and effort. Building the wall does not even take into consideration the eminent domain or cost of acquiring all the land necessary to build any structure. That has already been occurring for a few years and has a lot of cases in court. Some of the wall cuts across the middle of people's land, a golf course, and college campus. The is less of an emergency today than in the past. In 2000 there were 1.6 million apprehended vs about 300,000 today. Any emergency involves separating parents from children.

If we build it I am still holding out for Mexico to pay for it (and any trade deal does not do).
 
This whole conversation is framed within racism.

There is no need to do anything different at the border than we've been doing since 2008.

That includes more personnel and technology to keep illegals from crossing the border. That makes a person a racist who supports that policy because they are doing the same thing as person favoring the wall wants to do--to stop illegal immigration.

Those who use current technology want to keep out the SAME people as those supporting a wall; that makes both sides racist or not racist because they both have the same goal.
 
where are your cites on this? what's the proportion?

What does it matter what the proportion is? If the gross number of murders committed by white men is higher, then we should police that community accordingly.


you are not separating out illegals from legal immigrants as well. nobody has any problems with legal immigration

You guys do, though. You have problems with it. Asylum is legal immigration, and you clearly have problems with asylum.
 
Here! I have a point made especially for you!

I have one for you snowflake.

we have our population, I see no need for any allowances of MS-13, or previously deported criminals to return

They're not returning.

And if they try as a refugee, then they'll get caught when they have to go before a judge.

So no matter what, they're going to be investigated.

Also, birth rates nationally declined for the seventh year in a row. We need all forms of immigration just to keep our population growing.
 
It's not up to us to solve Central Americas economic problems other then the aid we already give either by allowing mass migrations

We are the cause of their problems, and their problems aren't economic.

By pretending they are, you are trying to diminish the reasons they have for making the journey.

They're not coming to the US because job prospects in El Salvador are slim, they're coming to the US to escape the civil strife those countries are in thanks to our foreign policy.
 
you are arguing a red herring.
Low skilled jobs are slowly disappearing to automation/IT.
It's nonsensical to increase that proportion of our labor pool

Wages haven't risen in 40 years because you wanted to let the rich "keep more of what they earned".

You promised, two Decembers ago, that wages would grow by $4K-$9K if we passed your stupid tax cuts.

Wages didn't grow.

So the problem isn't immigration, the problem is your devotion to an economic system that never delivers on the promises you make of it.
 
different issue. the illegals accelerating the pool of unskilled labor

Same issue.

The issue that by "letting the rich keep more of what they earned" everyone else's wages don't go up.

So you blame immigrants for that, and you do that because you're a racist piece of shit.
 
the last thing I am going to do is defend Congress -I have no use for Republicans or Democrats, they both are worthless.
But that was then and this is now..and we have a crisis of illegals overflowing our detention centers

That was then, so what's changed between now and then? Why isn't the 2013 reform acceptable? Simple; Donald Trump and Conservatism.

They're overflowing the detention centers because you all refused the funding to hire more judges to clear the cases faster.

How would a wall make the immigration process faster?

It wouldn't.

A wall is pointless, just like you.

So if your concern now is that there's a crisis of people in detention centers, then pass funding to hire more judges, not build a stupid wall.

So thanks for making a wall even more pointless now.

Right, none of which a wall will go to fix.

So why even waste $1 on it? Because Conservatives need it for their egos. They need a wall at this point because if they don't get one, they have to admit they got conned. So now we have to have a wall just so Conservative snowflakes don't have to eat shit.

Pathetic.

Illegal immigration isn't a crisis, and it isn't a crisis that is even happening along the southern border.

The "immigration crisis" is in all the visas people like Trump use to bring foreigners into the country instead of hiring Americans. Then those foreigners overstay those visas. That's the "crisis" (if you even want to call it that).

So sounds to me like we should put some kind of accountability mechanism in the visa program that holds the employer liable for those who overstay their visas.
 
"Give us a wall so we don't have to look like fools for thinking we needed one" is the worst reason to do anything.
 
Million dollar Military drones are helpful in patrolling the border, as you can tell whether someone holding a coin in the palm of their hand is a head or tails from 17,000 feet.

But, that is not the kind of drones we need to follow the fence jumpers after they have already jumped over the fence and are on the loose in the desert.

All that requires are smaller and much cheaper drones! Hell, there are toy drones being sold in 7/11's for $50 that can do that job.

Why not just make is to they can't be "fence jumpers"??
