Rather than a wall....dig a deep trench to wide for ladders with rattlesnakes lying in wait. On the other side put miniature patriot missiles to shoot down any ufo's. Or just line the boarder with wind turbines with lazer guns mounted.
Easier yet, elect Democrats for President and Congress. They tax businesses and the rich so hard that they all relocate to Mexico and invest there. Within a few years the economy there is humming along and nobody tries to sneak into the US anymore. In fact, the Mexicans finally prove Trump right and build the wall to keep Americans from sneaking into Mexico to get jobs. Problem solved.
You left out an important point. Mexico will hire American laborers to work on the wall construction, thus providing badly needed income for the unskilled US workforce. barfo
Not to mention the impact on drug-related crime. Since Americans won't be able to afford the drugs that the Mexican cartels produce, and because more Mexicans will take the readily available legal jobs instead of living the violent cartel life, drug production south of the border will dry up. Newly impoverished Americans, however, will look to such avenues of illicit income and the US will become a major drug producer. Smuggling drugs into the rich Mexican economy will become commonplace.
Well, Americans didn't move out of the country when the marginal rate was 90% so I don't see them moving out with a marginal rate of a mere 50%.
Somewhere there is some serious irony here. I don't mind an intellectual discussion on whether there should be a wall or not but to be lectured to by people who sit behind a wall in a gated community with private security....seems a little disingenuous.
At least they don't complain about the environment and then drive their Ferrari to the airport and fly their private plane to Paris to have breakfast. That would really tick me off.
Put water and electric eels and call it a moat. With drawbridges and fairies and Ogres - let's make the border the fairy tale it deserves to be. Brought to you by the people for Shrek / Donkey 2020.
They don't have an awful lot of tunnels to deal with. Nor do they have a lot of smuggling through their check points.
Illegal immigrant with criminal history arrested in California woman's murder By Paulina Dedaj | Fox News Carlos Eduardo Arevalo Carranza, 24, was arrested Monday night in the murder of 59-year-old Bambi Larson after police say he stalked her before stabbing her to death. (Facebook/ San Jose Police Department ) Police in California have arrested an illegal immigrant with known gang ties and an extensive criminal history in the February killing of a San Jose woman. Carlos Eduardo Arevalo Carranza, 24, was arrested Monday night in connection with the murder of 59-year-old Bambi Larson; police say he stalked her before stabbing her to death. Larson, a systems manager in San Jose, did not show up for work on Feb. 28. That seemed unusual to co-workers, who phoned her son to alert him. Larson’s son and a co-worker went to her home in the 900 block of Knollfield Way around 1:45 p.m. and discovered her body in the bedroom, San Jose Police Chief Eddie Garcia said. Police arrived and found Larson suffering from multiple stab wounds consistent with a cutting tool, multiple lacerations to her body and blunt force trauma. They also recovered a bloodied towel and footprints from the scene near a sliding door. U.S. could see a million illegal immigrants cross the southern border by the end of 2019 Garcia said that police searched hours of video surveillance from the neighborhood and were able to find a suspect. “The home security cameras showed an unidentified male wearing a backpack, pants and a long-sleeve sweater or shirt as he approached and later left the victim’s residence.” MOM WHOSE SON, 23, WAS KILLED BY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT URGES TRUMP TO KEEP FIGHTING FOR BORDER WALL Poor video quality prevented police from making a positive ID but they were able to trace the suspect’s path and eventually found a T-shirt containing DNA from the victim and the suspect. On March 10, a man identified as Carranza was arrested for possession of methamphetamine and was taken in by San Jose police for processing, and a DNA sample was obtained. Because DNA results from Larson’s case had not come back yet, the connection was not made and Carranza was released. Garcia said when the results finally came in on Monday, police tracked down and arrested Carranza, who was on probation at the time of the murder. Police located Larson’s phone and e-reader in the suspect’s possession. “The suspect, Carlos Eduardo Arevalo Carranza , stalked this San Jose neighborhood and his victim. He is a San Jose transient … and is a self-admitant gang member.” SOUTHERN BORDER AT ‘BREAKING POINT’ AFTER MORE THAN 76,000 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TRIED CROSSING IN FEBRUARY, OFFICIALS SAY Garcia declined to name the gang but listed the extensive criminal history of Carranza, who had six separate detainer requests against him via Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). According to Garcia, the suspect was detained by the Department of Homeland Security at the border in Texas and deported in 2013. Two years later he was arrested and accused of possession of paraphernalia and convicted of burglary in San Jose. In 2016 he was arrested on charges of battery of an officer, resisting arrest and entering and occupying a property. That same year, in October, Carranza was arrested in Los Angeles on battery charges. Illegal immigrant accused of killing a Tennessee mom added to ICE 'Most Wanted' list His final arrest before the murder of Larson was in January, on charges of possession of methamphetamine and paraphernalia. Despite having six detainers placed on him by ICE, Carranza was never deported. Garcia said at a press conference on Tuesday that his officers do not ask people their immigration status, and doing so in Carranza’s case would not have impacted the results.
Typical Government management - They had this guy 6 times in custody! Even the Chief says it this should not have happened.
And this is typical of all undocumented immigrants? If not then why should this interest anyone other than those immediately affected by this criminal. Should I post examples of Right wing White murderers on an individual basis?
