And if I remember correctly the wall was to be paid by the mexicans not American tax payers.Helping millions of americans is definitely better than a wall.He claims now the tariff being paid by american companies to import mexican goods cost of which would be passed on to american consumers is going to pay for the wall which he says would be paid by mexico, Guys atleast read the news.
I read all the news sites including fox,breibart infowars and daily stormer and many more of the conservative persuations. Most of them as news is the same in all the news sites,please dont confuse news with opinions.
Aliabedi, am curious to now where you reside?
With the exception of New Yorkers who live and work away from the big cities, they loath flyover country and are incredibly ignorant of what happens out here in the hinterlands. They would also vote to trash the electoral college in a heart beat. They believe the masses (CA, WA, IL, MA, NJ & OR as well) should rule by who has the higher tally of a popular vote.....their guy vs the other guy. Some of the most unbelievably ignorant people I've ever met are from NY, with CA following a close second.
Congress sucks does now and has for a very long time. They created a law in 1976 that they thought would reign in presidential discretion on what is or isn't an NE and how much can be thrown at it. As is the case with most laws they make, it invariably made the situation worse with Trump finally pushing the limit. Congress can still stop him BTW, we shall see what happens. But generally when I see Waters, Pelosi, Schumer and the ACLU throw hissy fits, I'm thinking the guy/gal has gotten something right.
Another thing, I don't care if the traffic illegally over the border is slowing down doesn't mean it won't pick up later. Regan got hoses after declaring amnesty in the 80's, congress has completely abrogated their responsibility in providing law enforcement the necessary tools to prevent illegal immigration and they continue to be complicit in one of the most easily manageable threats to The US. I say this because if this were a gay, transgender, muslim or minority problem they would parade the offended/harmed through an endless publically televised hearings, photo ops and laws to correct the problems. When is the last time they have multiple border patrol or ICE members in front of a committee, with television rolling, to hear what should be done and then the louts acted on those recommendations?
UK I refute your argument that the "vast" majority of illegals are visa holdovers BTW. You nor anyone alive in the US has a grip on the total number of illegals here. In fact there is a built in incentive for one side to expand the number and the other side to reduce the number. Tax payer money is being thrown at illegals in the billions, from incarceration, to teaching kids English, to medical care and crime they are an existential threat, more so those who fail to assimilate and work in the shadows.
If congress truly wanted to "serve" the American people, they could solve this in a week...literally. What we have now is a giant structure housing the best paid 535 whores in the world, who are in the pockets of special interests (for the most part) who in turn have the media in their pocket (well at least the dems/libs).
