    It requires a multi-faceted approach.

    I do donate to charities...2 of them...both involved in disaster relief and humanitarian work in the poorest regions of the world....Trump buys paintings of himself with his donations

    Again, this is a much more complex problem then just building a wall. You have to stop the rewards/incentives for them coming here first or at the very least simultaneously. All a wall is is a very big hurdle.

    You might as well just spend that money commissioning a picture of yourself, the money all goes to run the charity. Its a total scam!

    At least the Mexicans want to work.

    I would rather export all of the free loading anarchist.

    There was a time in our country when not only did we not allow anarchist to immigrate here, we exported the ones that caused trouble. Ahhh, the good olde days when we got rid of the real problems.

    He isn't just building the wall sly. Come on buddy have you been paying attention? He is calling for more than 5k more ice officers. He also signed a memorandum to start the immigration bill.

    A lot of students teach English under the table overseas....one common scam is not to pay tax when you're ready to go home and get a free ticket stateside knowing you'll probably never come back.....we tend to think americans don't work illegally around the globe but they do...usually travelers...to hire a laborer in Taiwan you must be their guaranteur if you claim them as employees....if they skip out on the tax...you pay it

    But again, this is like only going after crack users and not the dealers. That would be one facet on the war against drugs. It would be a failed facet but hell, at least we're spending a bunch of money not to actually fix the problem.

    And I've not heard anything that prevents any of use for hiring them to mow our lawns, or for us to rent to them or for banks to lend to them. 5k more ice officers is just part of the wall.

    A more apt example is you have a leak in your roof. So you patch the roof instead of trying to stop the weather from raining.

    The wall will take the longest to finish so you start that first, then implement other policies in tandem to patrol and take away the incentives.

    Dude it's not like a 2,000 mile wall pops up in 2-3 months! Hahaha
