Do you think a wall on the border with Mexico can stop the immigrants?

Do you think U.S. border guards will shoot to kill anybody attempting to cross illegally? Like the Berlin wall, do you believe their will be towers with machine guns ready to fire at the first object to move?
Or will U.S. border patrols slap them the wrists, tell them not to do that again and send them back to Mexico?

 

@Joe C: We both know the answer to that, and we also know that those with an agenda were not placated.

This video should be viewed with an open mind. -This- was what the American people were expected to vote into the most powerful office in the world.

 

if they really want to stop illegals from sneaking across the border charge Mexico a fee for returning them , if they refuse to pay create a business tax on imports for not paying it and keep raising the tax until they cant sell anything in this country ! sooner or later they will take of it them selves ! a wall is a challenge and somebody will find a way thru it or under it, another way is to fine business that hire them, make the fine high enough to cause a loss in profits , Mexico is responsible for its poor not the u.s. why is it the us is bad because they try to stop illegals from entering ,

 

Yes, there are many people that enter the U.S. that are not Mexican nationality, Many are from Central and South America too. They migrate to the U.S. to get a better life style, Health insurance and an income that is better than one they could get in their own country. Since these people are illegal, they are not registered, they pay no taxes. Many also send what little they do earn back to their families in their home country. That put's a strain on the U.S. economy. If some of these people get drunk and end up getting arrested, that also put's a strain on the U.S. society as a whole. The wall will not stop anybody that seriously wants to get in, but it will be a deterrent to those that are looking for an easy path.

Why doe the Mexican govt not do anything to improve their economy? Should it be the fault of the U.S. that their country is not as prosperous?

 

The wall is just the beginning, I hope really. If I was Trump, I'd also look into air and other methods people are getting into this country, like tunnels and using other countries (such as flying from Mexico to Country B and then from Country B to the US). But as I said, at least it should be a start since there are some open gaps in the border, and some ill-equipped places where it's mostly fencing. That's like having on a Windows system Windows Firewall and Windows Defender only, you've got the basics, but not enough internal and external protection.

 

@Yen: It's not just about Mexicans. We have a serious problem with drugs and terrorism. If there's an illegal channel for them to enter the country, they'll come in with the South Americans who illegally immigrate here.

We need to curtail that. We have no choice.

If you want to know about conditions in Mexico, then please look at the posts made by Mr.X. All of South America is dangerous and Mexico is no exception.

Drug cartels are wreaking havoc there. And it's to the point where even government forces have no power to stop them. When you have lots of money, you can buy military hardware. And that's exactly what these cartels do.

 

I wish I could draw comic strips, from that comment I can see a big wall with a queue of terrorists waiting outside holding bombs tapping their feet, looking at their watches, and a boat on the sea chugging along every few days with 10 more each time, the queue getting longer as they wait for the 3 month ban to be up


Terrorists are a minority, the media propaganda makes them out to be something much bigger - all this anti-terrorism stuff negatively affects the 99% of the population who are not terrorists, and only a handful of idiots who are, so in their eyes, they are winning because the entire world is changing badly for us, thanks to them, even though they are not directly doing anything like building walls

 

Everything you say is absolutely true. Without customers there would be no supply, and the only way to stop illegal drugs is to make drugs legal. Simple as that. It has been proven time, after time that legality does not change use. The same people are going to use drugs no matter what. With legality comes taxation, and regulation, so people would not actually die from drugs cut with other things like Fentanyl. It would be a win-win situation for law enforcement, government coffers, and users.

 

That would be for all drugs including LSD, Crack Cocaine and Mescaline?

 

Who told you that people are being discriminated against because of their faith or religion?
Are you aware that the airport protest are being funded by a known left wing party?
It is possible that somebody has an agenda against Trump and will go out of their way to spread rumors that are false

On the last link Yen, it states;

And I can understand that because many Christians are being slaughtered in the predominately Muslim countries, There is nothing stating that they can not enter solely based on their religion, but based on religious persecution.

I could possibly accept the use of cocaine being legalized but LSD/Mescaline should be in a different category


One thing that should be a concern, is that a staunch Hillary supporter (multi-billionaire Geo. Soros) is funding these protest we are now witnessing, including the women's march recently

 

@Yen: I wholeheartedly agree with you there. We must gauge people as individuals.
And in our daily lives, we do.

-BUT-

We (The USA) are at war with terrorism, and certain individuals coming from places that are on the US watch list
will not be allowed to enter. And that's true of many other countries.

I have first-hand experience watching heroin and crack cocaine ruin lives. I've lost friends to drug overdoses and had friends killed by junkies who chose to rob them and shoot them because they didn't have enough money or they didn't want to leave witnesses.

Even though alcohol is legal, it has ruined countless lives, either by alcoholism, accidents or by child / spouse abuse.
I grew up with an alcoholic step-father, so I know from first-hand experience.

Even marijuana has it's problems. Adolescents who smoke pot tend to develop more slowly than those who smoke it at a later age. It also adversely affects memory.

The problem with drugs is their destructive potential, and the people's lack of knowledge of the harmful side effects.

That's why the drug laws were put into place. To protect the naive, who do not know any better.
