No one's forcing you to fly.
If you posted that unironically, please take a short walk off of a tall building.
That's the whole plan, just hamstring him til the election and minimize whatever things he has done, so you can say he's a useless leader that does nothing but play golf. Say he's a moron that can't even build a wall, neglecting to mention you've been the one making sure the pro-illegal articles and anti-wall ads are up and calling in favors for people to block the vote. Refuse to even negotiate about the wall and then blame Trump for being unreasonable. Say it's Trumps personal pet project and neglect to mention he was elected on that platform and due to that its' a virtually voter mandated measure.
This is his third major fuck-up. There's no amount of sweet-talking and spin-weaving that anyone can do to make it sound like it's anything other than him caving on the one thing the public has him dead-to-rights for promising them.
I'm gonna vote for Trump in 2020 because the Republican establishment is complete shit, the Democrats are complete shit, and I want to see all the tears and TDS that will follow.
I don't know if you realize that Republicans have been called Nazis since the end of WWII, but
literally any Republican being elected president would've had the same result. It's not that Trump won, it's that he's the guy who beat Hillary.
Speaking as someone who opposes it (I’ll leave it to you to decide if I’m sane or not), I oppose it because:
It’ll cost way too much. I don’t even know where Trump got $6 billion. Try 100 times that.
The military budget alone for the U.S. is insane. Acting like $6B, or even $60B is a lot for our government, is absurd.
Border patrol claims that a wall would make it too hard for them to see what’s happening on the other side. Regardless, it seems to me that a wall would lull border patrol into a false sense of security, or maybe Congress might decide to decrease their funding, which is a problem since a wall is not insurmountable.
That's why the fence design is actually (much to the chagrin of a lot of people who don't really get that border patrol needs to see) a really great concept as long as it's well-made enough that it'll deter the majority of would-be crossers.
Most illegal immigrants get here via tourist or student visas, which they overstay.
I both love and hate how fucking stupid this point that's always dragged out is. Those statistics - and this is important -
come from the people who get caught. So yes, a majority
of the people who get caught are either coming here via plane or boat.
A gigantic fucking open land border which has people from Africa taking ships to try to get across not having more illegal crossings is absurd. This is the same as saying there's not a poacher problem in Africa's wildlife reserves because they don't catch them as often in the act as there are dead animals with bullet-holes in them.
Crossing the border is already dangerous (pick your poison: dehydration in the desert or drowning in the Rio Grande) with a decent chance of being immediately caught by border patrol. Our influx of illegal immigrants isn’t nearly as bad as it would be if the crossing weren’t dangerous and especially if we had open borders.
That's retarded. You're literally saying that we should throw open the borders because it's too much of a problem to build a fucking wall.
Or to put it another way, this is the "Well if the problem is they're crossing illegally, why not make all border crossings legal?" fucking dipshit argument and you should be ashamed for making it.
I couldn’t care less about the liberal aversion to walls because it’s “mean”. I don’t believe in open borders. And I especially am not liking the liberal obsession with illegal immigrants vs. immigrants who waited their turn. But I also think there are a lot of other ways, cheaper ways, better ways to deal with this issue
You're a terrible liar.
Lol why is trump a pussy and cave in
Good question.
The thing is, until the past elections where the Dems won back the house, the government was pretty solidly in Republican hands.
I don't know about Trump, but if you think that Lindsey Graham doesn't have a couple senoritas attending to his abode that aren't supposed to be there, then that right there answers your question.
I'm the type who would've held out forever & laughed that my opponents were willing to sacrifice the country to score a Pyrrhic victory, because policies are mutually exclusive across party lines & holding everybody back is a thing that mature people do & it's totally worth it to watch the world burn to spite my opponent for being with the wrong group. If Trump ran as a democrat then the democratic party wouldn't give a shit about the border wall and it'd the republicans trying to keep it from going up.
Yes, because border security is something to compromise on when it in and of itself is already compromised. Fantastic logic. Made even better when you consider that the alternative is the party that hasn't known what the word "compromise" means since the 1950's.
One argument in favor of a literal wall is the result of the lie that America has birthright citizenship (we don’t, that’s why DACA exists)
The 14th amendment said:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
I'm not sure what part of that is either a lie or fictional.
