Controlling illegal immigration without using a fence/wall

[USFREEDOM911]

The wall is pure BS, and you're hiding behind it so you can continue to refuse to think about the issue. "Fearful of the truth" seems to be the norm for many on both the right and the left.

This is not a workable plan as the opening post requests.

Of course, Trump never has a workable plan, but his cultists unflinchingly support his lying nonsense anyway. Any workable plan has to start with facts.

If "Government Agents" are patrolling the area, then why is it still a problem??

Duh. Because there's not enough of them.

There you go fuck face shooting off your mouth before you have all the info! I agreed with most of your points but like the POS you are you couldn't wait to jump. Then Fuck You.

To paraphrase Patton: from one POS to another.

Oh fuck you and your anti Trump BS. People like you are the problem not the solution!

PS I don't like Trump.

Yet you still support him and believe his BS.

And the stupidity shines through.

You obviously didn't even read the link which outlined my answer. If you weren't interested in other people's opinion, why did you ask?

The problem is, your judgement can't be trusted. The last time you claimed there was a national emergency is when you demanded we spend trillions to invade Iraq, or else we might be facing mushroom clouds.

With that track record of failed prognostication, the burden is on you to credibly and empirically demonstrate why we need to spend billions of dollars and create an ecological disaster by constructing a 2,000 mile long concrete Berlin Wall on our southern border.

There has been a sizable increase in cross-border trafficking of drugs such as heroin, fentanyl, methamphetamine and cocaine in recent years.

According to Customs and Border Protection data, these drugs are almost entirely trafficked at the land ports of entry and at the 47 official border crossings.

Despite the increase in drug trafficking, reports have shown that shifting the priority to zero-tolerance immigration enforcement diverted resources from pursuing more serious crimes like drug and human trafficking.

Focusing attention on drug trafficking at ports of entry would likely result in an increase in drug seizures, which would make America safer by keeping out some of the most dangerous substances affecting our population today.

3. Investing in technology and personnel

A wall’s function is to create a physical barrier to prevent people from crossing. However, a wall cannot perform the myriad functions necessary to apprehend crossers, screen migrants, detect illicit behavior, etc. Department of Homeland Security staffers, border patrol agents and increased technology however, can.

Technology, including cameras, fixed towers and aerial and underground sensors, can help combat cartels that are using highly sophisticated technology to cross the border.

Expanding agencies like the Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Counterterrorism and Criminal Exploitation Unit prevents terrorists and other criminals from exploiting the nation's immigration system through fraud.

Investing in the Biometric Entry-Exit System at all ports of entry helps screen those who enter into the United States efficiently and effectively. The need for a 21st-century approach to border security is something both Republicans and Democrats have called for, aiming to find new solutions to emerging problems.


Placing the appropriate technology in the right places and training and building the skill set of personnel in key agencies makes America safer.

The shutdown over the border wall needs to end. Many people in charge of keeping America safe are currently working without pay.

Transportation Security Administration agents are calling in sick, and the growing strain on those who work for the Border Patrol, the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Secret Service could negatively impact the morale and quality of work of these vital agencies.

Agreeing on a bipartisan deal to end the shutdown and paying the people who are in charge of our nation’s security makes America safer. Let us have a discussion in Congress about the border, with people who work and live at the border, to come up with bipartisan, contemporary, cost-effective solutions to improve our border security.

This is all about Trump's ego..

[rjhenn]

SJW's have decided to create a intersectional hierarchy based on victimhood. They use this to determine your worth.

So can't blame Trump for using the moronic tool created by leftists.

The usual brainless nonsense.

LOL no details, just a simplistic notion "control visas better"

In order to jail employers, you'd have to show they hired illegal labor. How can we do that when you deny they are illegal? You guys are such dimwits

Says the dimwit with the tinfoil hat.

Oh yeah?

Trump always claims to be a victim. Especially when it's his own bullying and cheating that gets him in trouble.

if trumpsters were serious about security that they would address the myriad other ways the illegals get into the country besides where a wall might stop them. this is just a game to them when all they talk about is a wall and they don't talk about security as a whole entire picture.

The government shutdown is proof that neither Trump nor his cultists care about border security.

Read the OP dickless.

Nothing will convince you that Trump should get his wall.

In any case NOTHING STOP illegal immigration...

...and a wall will not appreciably slow it...IF IT SLOWS IT AT ALL.

What you ought to do is stop pretending "the wall" is about border security. IT ISN'T. "The wall" is about an unkeepable promise the moron, Donald Trump made repeatedly during his campaign to the morons who were willing to listen.

The border to the south will NEVER be secure...just as the border to the north will NEVER be secure. The border to the south appeals to the morons who support Donald Trump mostly because the people on the other side are mostly of a darker color than most European whites.

Of course, there's very little mention of that other promise, that Mexico was going to pay for the wall.
