    I am not Mexican. Not sure why you would go there, but based on your race baiting posts I am not surprised. I also do not support illegal immigration, but I supposed you prefer to think anyone who opposed Trump's stupid fat wall must love illegal immigration.

    Define "open borders." Then define the Border Patrol and ICE. Or are they a figment of our imagination.

    First, there are already 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. The wall is hardly an issue with them and they account for all those dollars you are sprouting. They also account for all those crimes Trump was talking about Tuesday. They also account for all the crimes recorded in your extensive research.

    Second, the issue is, will a medieval solution to a 21st Century problem work? The Democrats and many experts say no, the wall won't work. 21st Century technology, increased aircraft, increased vehicles, and an increase in border patrol agents will work far better and cost less.

    Democrats support border security. They do not support a medieval wall.

    Comparing a wall around the Vatican or a wall around a mansion to a 2,000 mile border wall is ludicrous.

    Throwing numbers around like you were doing is just as silly as Trump and Pence lying about numbers of terrorists and criminals coming across the border. Trump spent nearly all of his time Tuesday detailing all the crimes committed by illegal aliens. You and he are making the extraordinary conclusion that Trump's wall will solve all these problems.

    It won't. But Trump is holding Americans hostage over his wall. Why? His base wants the stupid wall.

    As proven in the 2018 midterms, his base doesn't win general elections. Trump is too stupid to realize that.

    Trump and his officials persist in promoting the discredited notion that suspected terrorists are pouring into the U.S. from Mexico by the thousands.

    Despite their portrayal of Mexico as a teeming portal for terrorists, the State Department issued a report in September finding “no credible evidence indicating that international terrorist groups have established bases in Mexico, worked with Mexican drug cartels or sent operatives via Mexico into the United States.”

    “We have terrorists coming through the southern border because they find that’s probably the easiest place to come through. They drive right in and they make a left.” Trump on Jan. 4.

    If they’re driving in through border crossings, no wall would stop them.

    State Department reports on terrorism have expressed more concern about Canada, which unlike Mexico has been home to “violent extremists inspired by terrorist groups such as ISIS and al-Qaida and their affiliates and adherents,” as it said in 2017. When it comes to land crossings, Canada has more often been the source of terrorism suspects entering the U.S., though not in great numbers. By far the majority of people who arouse concern try to enter by air.

    Why is Trump doing this? There is only one reason. He wants to create havoc in Washington as Mueller is bearing down on him. Trump needs a distraction. What good will that do? One would have to ask Trump. Blind revenge is one possible answer. That fits Trump's psyche.

    So you talk out of that tall hat on your head. You truly post to inflame. Not to inform, but to inflame passions. By screaming I am a racist, perhaps you smoke that pot and assume you hurt me.

    Ronstar, you do not faze me at all.

    Calling me racist does not matter to me one bit. i see globally this issue, not merely for Democrats. I was once one of you. I think you underestimate me. But that is your fault, not mine.

    If you support home thieves, you support having no fences and walls. .

    I do not believe you support such thieves. But you assume the illegals Trump wants to block are awesome human specimens able to create you as a better citizen than today. i do not agree Ron. We make them great.

    That's mostly a result of a lack of quality control in the black market. Allow legit businesses to service the demand (which will never go away no matter how many laws you pass), and 90% of that goes away. I'd bet most fentanyl ODs in the past few years were to individuals who neither wanted nor requested fentanyl in what they thought was their normal heroin dosages. With corporate QC, that kind of **** would never happen.

    All that anti Trump crap should perhaps be outlawed. It is pure toiletry talk. The kind of crap Democrats pull in public toilets. We are weary of all this talking for Trump and even Putin as well as others. I wager most here can prepare your daily script for you.

    Take the crap where you blame mueller. mueller said nothing But you made up a narrative to fit your own bias.

    I am so sorry that you have not yet accepted it that corporations make Fentanyl and doctors prescribe it. If not, it is illegally made. But for this drug to be included on the list of must haves just does not fit my narrative, even made totally legally.

    But do you have a solution to Crack and heroin too?
    Study what pot did in CA. See how many cities refuse to let anybody open stores. See how taxes became rampant. And what happened to Pot,. Ca regulates it to death.

    @Sandy Shanks, while it has been some years since i walked over the Canadian border and back to the USA, They do a lot of checking. More than our side, the Canadians gave me the most grief.

    I have entered Mexico but decades ago. Then the border traffic was god awful. My cars were not checked much at all. But why do they now check cars much more completely? Think the authorities are full of crap?

    Ron study his former home. Why would i be racist, a bigot and sell a client a home like that?

    Also correct the size from 2600 sq ft to about 2350 sq ft. Ron you have no clue how many miles I drove to find him and his family such a great home. But why did he lose the home? Mexicans came to work cheaper. Ron the man moved into a smaller rental. Are you happy what Mexicans did to an American citizen who came from Mexico himself?

    Most of the marijuana is grown in the US and has been for years now. Mainly in the pacific northwest. And no one who wants a wall does not also want the borders tightened up even further.

    Well build the Wall then see if anything changes and this would of course require check points to be more careful about checking for drugs and smuggled persons, but is ONLY 5.7 billion dollars so why not give the funding its covered by more money via the NAFTA re-negotiated terms most likely easily enough or one could take on a $1 per wheel transit fee for vehicles leaving Mexico to apply to it.

    The Dem leadership has been begging Don for a rational discussion. He'll have none of it. Why not fund the government and carve off the wall debate?

    let go of the childish "wall" dream and we can talk

    The wall needs to cover about 700-800 miles of the border and replace fences and old wall that are not good enough

    The rest of the border is desolate and can be monitored electronically

    Why not separate that issue and fund the government? Remember, Dems ARE willing to fund enhanced border security......but Don refuses to compromise on the issue despite it being unpopular with the majority of Americans.
