    Illegal v legal immigration. Who would be in favor of illegal?

    If the border is porous like tD says, stop the leaks. If you have a better idea than a wall, what is it?

        I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you're stupid enough to think a wall is going to stop people from over staying their visas.

        And let me guess you want to raise taxes to pay for this wall because you care so much about the deficit...

          Who's tracking Trump's numbers in the swing states? If he's getting 45% in MN, it's irrelevant. If he's getting 30% in PA, that's significant.

            My better idea is to worry first about issues that actually matter/exist.

                  Yeah, the trade deals. Which he has systematically made worse. But, whatever. He also ran on eliminating the debt in 8 years. After two it grew 2 trillion. So, we got 6 years left to get rid of it.

                    I guess I'm not quite ready to accept that morons and racists define what issues matter the most in this country. 2020 will tell me whether that's the world we will be living in.

                        The border is not "porous". There are technological improvements that could be made to surveillance, without building the d@mn wall and without resorting to "shoot to kill" orders. Trump has been offered appropriations to make those border improvements, and he has obstinately insisted on building a wall.

                        Not to mention, how do you secure all of the private lands where parts of the wall need to be built? Oh right, eminent domain. Taking people's duly-owned property by force, aka communism.

                              Why thank you - an alternative. At least, this time, you actually added something to the conversation instead of shouting down "wrong thinking".

                              If Border Patrol can ensure that illegally crossing the border is made as difficult as possible, I don't care how. A wall is low tech. Sonic disrupters, maybe, as a high tech solution?

                                The alternative is making it easier to legally immigrate here and maybe tweeking the trade deals to make Mexico better off economically. As far as enforcing the border itself you could potentially do a better job of that if ICE's resources weren't being dedicated to rounding up maids and farm workers who contribute positively to our society.
