    Trump did not come out as strong as I thought he would. However.

    I did not learn anything from the dems as to why they do not want some sort of a physical barrier. They kept throwing up red herring topics, while ignoring the issues. A very weak response.

    The dems agenda is not to secure the border, but to do everything possible to divide the country.

    If you want real results as to how well physical barriers and electronic measures work, study the before and after results of the West Bank border security system.

    Maybe we should hire Isriel to secure our borders, they know what works.

    All this childish bickering over a lousy $6- billion.

    I think trumps overall idea for the wall is insanely dumb and at this point I think he’s just arguing it for the sake of the argument and bullshit. With that being said, a lot of people need to understand that wanting a more secure border isn’t racist at all. There is a reason we can’t even just walk up right through Canada without the proper work. Yes, a lot want to come to America for a better life and I get that. But don’t bring your kids and put their lives in danger with yours over it. It’s a very complicated situation and trump
    Isn’t making it any better with this ridiculous idea of the wall.

    So he got Mexico to pay for the wall? If not, then he lied.

    Are you kidding me? Westbrook lies every time he says anything to the ref.
    Here's a Trump compliment, you only made one guffaw inducing blunder. That's outstanding for you.

    you realize most of the people are fleeing violence and gangs. You want them to leave the children in those areas while they come?

    Point blank, bringing your child to the border to immigrate (legally or illegaly) should never result in being “in danger”, from our end.

    Did you just imply that he's an orangutan?

    Alright well then go volunteer to help them. I mean what can you do really? If you know what happens to the kids when you get to the border then why would you take them? It’s a very complex situation

    Didn't watch it.

    I guess he didn't lie too much because I'm not seeing a huge reaction.

    We can start by not separating children from their parents, and stop shooting teargas into sovereign nations.

    We could also prosecute companies like Trump's who hire the undocumented.

    I've been undecided, untill last night.

    I don't like Trump. For the most part, it is how he does things that I don't like. But last night, he left the door open to compromise on how to secure our borders, and make our families safer.

    Physical barriers work, and are needed. The debate should not be if we build barriers, but what kind.

    Zombies Schumer & Pelosi not only shut the door to compromise, they built a wall. Not a wall to secure our families. They built a wall to divide our nation. Their goal is to increase their own power, at the cost of our safety.

    Fuck Pelosi and Schumer, I do not trust them, and their motives. Sadly, those two freaks make Trump the lesser evil.
