            That's right, everyone that disagree's with the liberal agenda is a racist. How many illegals/refugees are you supporting? That's what I thought. Go back to your safe space and STFU idiot.

              fox news has totally scrambled your brains. the wall is like those easter island monuments. a colossal useless waste of time and resources. the real "boarder security" problem is not "dirty brown people" crossing hoping for a better life. it's our inability to stop a drug trafficking superhighway that comes from sinaloa and heads straight north to every major american city. this is the real problem at the "boarder." you know how much a wall will help ? ZERO. so what is it about? it's a symbol. we are USA. you are not. that's it.

                ***why do people get so pissed off about that. Whether it would be effective, that argument is worthy. But an emotional response to the idea of merely putting a physical structure up under what may perhaps misguided effort to keep those without permission from entering this country from being cross 8nti this country to me is equally as absurd as thinking it will solve all the issues.

                In the end, if you are allowed to be here, come in. If you are a Mexican citizen living in Mexico and are outraged that a wall is going up, then pressure your government to not knowingly allow your country to be used as a highway for illegal entry into the US.

                Had you been responsible on your end, the response from many in this country to build what likely would an ineffective wall would not have happened. And crazy guy Trump would not have been the knee jerk reaction by many of our legal voters.

                2 camps: (1) emotional people who are offended by the idea of a wall being built by the US to reduce, or as some think, completely stop, unauthorized entry into the US and (2) those supporters of building the wall who actually appear to think a wall will completely stop unauth entry of the "bad ones" into this country.

                To me, both camps are extreme, and I cannot take either camp seriously.

                So, if you are in that first camp, check your emotions at the door and limit your arguments only to counter the reasons wall supporters claim they have for wanting the wall -> it's effectiveness. That seems to me like a solid argument and you have 77, yes seventy-seven, examples around the world to base your arguments on. (There has been a proliferation of building border walls around the world after 9.11 - and China has had one for years :) - that's a joke about China, btw.)

                And if you are the second camp, give a little on your position and concede it is not full proof and come up with a supportable and rational theory that while a wall not be full proof, it will, for example, likely reduce illegal entry in a meaningful way and perhaps funnel illegal entry by the "bad ones" to more predictable avenues. You too can look to those 77 real case studies that are available...for some real data to possibly use in your argument.

                In the end, neither side can say with known and verifiable certainty that their proffered theories will turn out to be correct. To say that that your argument is absolutely correct would mean that you too have joined Trump's Foolishsphere (I just coined that phrase - use it) Don't go there...

                Other serious issues - why would we deport someone who served in our armed forces and risked his life to, in theory, preserve our way of life and our freedoms? Take those kinds of issues, and there many more great examples of how screwed up some of our policies are, even when Obama was in office. Let that be your cause...

                  Our problem at the border is a drug enforcement problem. I do not see the wall helping to solve that at all. Net immigration rates from Mexico are around even (ie same number of Mexicans leaving for family unification than entering country). From 2009-2014 per pew research institute more Mexicans left than came into the country. No justification for a wall, unless, of course it’s more symbol than solution. I am not interested in my country borrowing 5 billion from China to build a useless symbol.

                    And yes, the undergraduate location matters - always. If not for any other reason, great grad programs do look at and consider the quality of the undergraduate school. And many down here are really not worth much more than a HS degree or one from abroad, excluding Europe. Eat that truth... surely you will reject it because to accept that stark reality means the one truth you have denied for decades must rear its ugly head to remind you that — you suck.***

                    I don't bother reading past the first word of any moron that starts with "bro".

                      OP here. I'm advocating using bright futures for state schools like UF for the undergraduate degree. Not getting an undergrad from schools like Nova. I'm also not debating that a graduate degree from a school like Wharton is more valuable than a graduate degree from U.F. IMHO, you use good academic performance in your undergrad as a springboard to get into a great graduate program at a name brand school (which is hard to do if you're spending too much time practicing with your college soccer team at Prairie Dog College in Tulsa).

                      Sure, you can make connections in second tier out of state undergrad programs. I'm sure you can make connections at U.F. too.

                        Evil USA who allows more total immigrants into their country than anywhere, and allows over 20 million people who are not here legally to stay. The US allows birth right citizenship, and despite all of this people want call the US racist and anti-immigrant.

                        In the US, those that want to follow the Marxist global ideas that the workers have no countries are free to do so. Try having a view contrary to views of the government in a socialist country. Yet the US is called fascist

                          The people whose job it is to police the border feel a wall in some places would help, for what it is worth. Using the immigration numbers from 2009-14 a period of stagnant growth and high unemployment is somewhat cherry picking. The issue would be solved but neither party wants to do it. Guest worker program would go long way to helping but does not get support because it won't bring in millions of voters for one party, and will stop the cheap easy labor source to exploit.

                          The ironic thing is the communities with large number of families of immigrants or first generation are the ones who are hurt the most by illegal immigration. It is their jobs and wages that are being kept down by it, and it is their communities that are most effected by gangs like MS13. It is easy to say bring in millions when you live in a neighborhood a way from it and only benefit by the cheap service they provide to you at the cash register.
