"Leon Wilmont is sheriff in Yuma County, Arizona. He said that he cannot speak for others, but in his experience walls work in curbing illegal immigration. Wlimont said from 2005-2009 there was a 91 percent drop in service calls and arrests related to illegals."

It is ! Here’s why!Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
For two years the GOP has the House, Senate, and WH and did NOTHING even when offered a deal Dems could live with that was better than what he asks now.
Before the election it was a “fake” caravan. We know it was fake because it disappeared into thin air after the Election Day.
So when the Dems roll into town, it helps to take this issue off the shelf and use it.
Here’s the thing. We will survive it if trump gets the courts to agree he can do this and then in 2020 or 2028 president o’rourke or Cortez can invoke same emergency powers to take radical action tonaddress fhe real emergency of global warming
Carry on g’uvnor .....

Pretty sure we are all aware that a wall isn't going to end illegal immigration completely and those who want to try to get around, over, under a wall (or fence or barrier or whatever you want to call it) will still attempt and sometimes succeed in doing so. A wall/fence/barrier along the southern border must continue to be monitored to be effective. The wall/fence/barrier has multiple purposes: to make it harder for those to enter illegally which may actually discourage some from trying and to force entry at points of entry where those coming in can be monitored.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Fact: Most drugs come by air and sea, and more so via Florida than the SW border. Drugs seized at that border come across the old fashioned way - via roads and they are stopped at checkpoints. Cartels aren't driving trucks through remote areas.
"A 24-page report prepared by the DEA in May found that drugs coming from Mexico do often enter through the southwestern border, but they do so concealed in vehicles, like tractor-trailers. Moreover, drugs coming from Colombia are more often transported by plane and boat, the reports notes...Transnational criminal organizations “generally route larger drug shipments destined for the Northeast through the Bahamas and/or South Florida by using a variety of maritime conveyance methods, to include speedboats, fishing vessels, sailboats, yachts, and containerized sea cargo,” the reports reads. “In some cases, Dominican Republic-based traffickers will also transport cocaine into Haiti for subsequent shipment to the United States via the Bahamas and/or South Florida corridor using maritime and air transport..“According to DEA reporting, the majority of the heroin available in New Jersey originates in Colombia and is primarily smuggled into the United States by Colombian and Dominican groups via human couriers on commercial flights to the Newark International Airport,” the document states....The report, which focuses heavily on the growth of Dominican trafficking groups, outlines a variety of ways drugs enter the United States, including via couriers carrying cocaine-filled suitcases on commercial flights — sometimes with the help of airline employees — or via mail.”"

It’s a fact that there are saws that cut concrete as well although drilling a few holes and setting a few charges would be easier . Wildcat miners in background that knew how to blast and I assure you that would have been step #1.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post

Well, we should always refocus to fact that 2/3 of those here illegally have overstayed legal visas and a far smaller 1/3 of them came illegally in the first place ....Originally posted by Unregistered View Post

Absolutely make security better where it is needed (there are known areas that account for much of the traffic), but spend more on more agents, vehicles, drones etc. There are large swaths that are almost unpassable, even more so six months of the year when the heat is too intense.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
"These wall-free stretches, which are mostly in mountainous or desert areas, aren't entirely unprotected: Some 21,000 Border Patrol agents guard the entire border and use motion sensors, drones, and other high-tech equipment to detect intruders."https://theweek.com/articles/666089/truth-about-americas-border-mexicoComment

For multiple decades Democrats have done nothing even though as recently as less than 10 years ago they held a supermajority. And here is Chuck's position on illegal immigration. Want to explain the change?Originally posted by Unregistered View Post

Do I have to remind you how long both Nancy and Chuck have held Congressional positions? Chuck's been at it for over 20 years, Nancy over 30 more than half in a leadership position. Finally someone is doing something about the mess!Comment

And ICE has been cracking down hard on illegals already here, sometimes capturing innocents in the process but with few consequences for their employers (read the link below about the impact that has on communities and families). They've been targeting Hispanics most often. But much of the over-stay issue is with Chinese, Indians and Russians who fly in and stay. So hire more ICE agents. Create better technology to track overstays and find people using fake SS# or try to tap into welfare. Crack down on companies that hire illegals. Create a better system of temporary visas for much needed cheap agricultural labor. There are so many other prongs to the fight but Trump and his fans can only fixate on THE WALL.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post

Democrats can either compromise or hope the American people keep blaming Trump. But the reality is Trump could give a sh*t about reelection. He is not a career politician like the other two and that's a mistake they make assuming he is like them.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Look, I’m just saying that I’m not hysterical like some about the notion he calls a national emergency so he can “tell” his base he’s building a wall (it still won’t ever be built as he wants). Plenty of downsides for him and upsides for everyone else (govt reopening for one). But he might lose another battle with courts ....Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
But if his packed Supreme Court supports him, I’ll just be happy that we have a precedent for a lib president yo come in and use executive powers for the good stuff at least

In the minds of many groupthinkers, Trump only cares about a wall. But if they would actually read the proposal he sent to Congress on January 6, they could read that he seeks the following things in addition to 234 miles of physical barrier:Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
- 75 additional immigration judges and support staff to reduce the immigration backlog,
- 750 additional Border Patrol agents,
- 2,000 additional law enforcement personnel and support staff to address gang violence, smuggling, trafficking, and the spread of drugs,
- 52,000 detention beds,
- $800 million to address urgent humanitarian needs,
- $675 million for “Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) technology at inbound lanes at U.S. Southwest Border Land Ports of Entry” to “allow CBP to deter and detect more contraband, including narcotics, weapons, and other materials that pose nuclear and radiological threats”
- statutory changes to permit in-country processing capacities for asylum processingComment
