Truthfully, all this name calling and labeling does nothing to advance ideas. (Now I can be just as partisan as the next person and I've found myself supporting something because it was a Republican I supported doing it, not because I believed in what was being done. So I'm not holier than thou on this.) But so many of these discussions boil down to not the ideas themselves but rather are you pro or anti Trump. Pro or anti Democrat or Republican. Same as with tariffs and dealing with China. Former free traders now supporting tariffs and a trade war because it's Trump doing it. Former anti-free trade people who supported workers and unions and were fine with tariffs have now discovered religion on free trade because they don't like Trump.
But yes, I am a Republican and I don't support a wall. I understand not all Republicans agree with me. To each his own.
what a bunch of CATO garbage - it relies on Trump's"big beautiful (opaque) concrete wall..
We are way past that - looking for tailored walls for vari0us locales
wall work around the world, there is no logical reason they wouldn't work here as well,as long as the design is good

what "enhanced border security?" land mines?
seriously you have no idea what's happening when sectors like Rio are getting hit with 1000+ a day illegals
Put up all the drones you want -they still have to have border patrol chase them down.
what happens when they get caught? -they don't get deported, they get processed and released in 20 days in country. The ones tht don't get caught are in country as well
The only way to stop this crisis is to stop them from crossing in the first place = walls
The REAL SOLUTION is to change the Asylum laws, but the Dems are incapable of immigration reform

Sure the democrats would pass immigration reform, just don't think you can do it without addressing DACA and all those dreamers, many of whom have been here all their lives. Trump isn't going to address them then he can use his new bill to wipe his ass as far as democrats are concerned, shove it.
I bet 99% of those dreamers can speak English and pass his stupid fucking test, how about saying they get citizenship if they pass?
Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

If escaping communism is an acceptable reason does that mean escaping a lawless anarchy bereft with violence is too? And if you are escaping communism do you still have to be able to speak English and pass this silly test?
Or is it just Hispanics from places like Guatemala that should have these restrictions because you're a disgusting bigot and would rather they not come here?
