The wall on our Southern border that Donald Trump proposed early in his campaign generated as much controversy as any of his proposals. Divorced from the other issues that surround this proposal, one would wonder what the fuss is all about. After all, people are breaking the law by entering the US from Mexico by not following immigration laws. So it would seem the answer would be to act to prevent people from breaking the law.
If putting up a wall or fence helps stop lawlessness, then what’s the big deal? It’s not like there’s any dispute where the border is, and the wall is to be built along that mutually agreed-upon border. So, again, what’s the big deal?
Okay, that was an exercise in looking at the problem of illegal immigration without the baggage of political agendas. Add the inevitable measure of politics to the issue and it becomes a huge deal.

Yes they do, you just heard it…not factories g in the billions we will save a year when Trump starts shipping these illegal aliens out
It is the border already owned by the government! They do not need permits and the border is the right of way. I am sure local companies will contract to do the work therefore hiring a tone of employees!!!!! Can you imagine the awesome spending going back into the US!!!!!! Can you imagine how awesome that will be!!!!!!!
Why don’t you complain about how many billions of dollars the illegals are costing us? Don’t have the guts for that, do you?
Wrong, partly. The border along the Texas portion of the border is the middle of the rio grand river .
An easement to access the border does not allow our government to build on this area. Much of the land on both sides is private property. And yes, some of the property is federal lands.
What about all the rest?
Do you really believe it will save us money to send them all back? Most “illegal aliens ” do not apply for welfare, food stamps or rent subsidies because they don’t want to be found and deported.
Welfare, etc. are more commonly used by employees of Walmart, fast food joints and other minimum wage job earners.
More “illegals” have been deported during the last few years than ever before.
Oh, after we deport all these people, who’s going to pick your lettuce and strawberries?
If Trump has enough people doing what needs done, he can make a hell of a positive effect to counteract all the stupid things Obama screwed up. Just think of that. Trump can change hundreds of things in one day.
Sure a giant wall is great at keeping people out or in. I wont say he will become a tryant I think he will do some good but honestly a giant wall on the Mexican border will not keep illegals out of America. Remember there are boats and other means of transport for illegals to get in America, techically this country belongs to the Native Americans anyways and we are trespassing.
That’s 716 million if you look at your numbers lol
While I agree, he’s all about getting the job done not retaliation. He’s REALLY just what we needed.
DEPORT All ILLEGAL Aliens NOW IMMEDIATELY !
