That's just false. You clearly know nothing about Central America, South America or their histories. Why some board member try to conflate their opinions with facts is common enough but also damned tiresome. Why not pick a subject you know something about and then offer a more learned opinion?
NO! kill the drug lords who are murderers insanity is letting murders smuggle destructive drugs into America, drugs that kill Americans
And that's really what it's all about. Americaphobia. The country doesn't deserve to exist so let's try something new.
I always expect the USG's Deep State to achieve results similar to the outcomes of the Vietnam and Afghan Wars. I would prefer less corruption and more competence, and a lot less warfare.

Typical American workers haven't had a pay increase in 40 years. They've come to believe their wages have been held down by competition from illegal workers and that is true in some desirable trades jobs.
my first job in 1990 was 6 dollars an hour by 2019 i was making 20.50 with no higher education statistics are full of crap i got pay increases every year, because i worked my ass off like you are supposed to! time shouldn't get you a raise your value to your company should.
What's "sad, very sad" is that you'd rather throw away a trillion dollars on a useless wall than spend a trillion on starving kids.
Minimum wage hasn't increased in a decade. Inflation has gone up, meaning the wealthy make more money, but because minimum wage has stayed the same, it's actually decreased.
minimum wage was never intended to be a living wage.. want more money? gain skills to get you off minimum wage, something EVERYONE can do
Think this through. People crowd into housing they didn't themselves rent. No, not according to the law. States rights, you know. No, they would not. The Feds can't pass laws and demand states tax and spend enforcing them.
decades of failed drug wars because we never fought them like a war.. same with Vietnam, Korea, Iraq et all.. we send good men out and they do a great job with what we give them but our goals and strategies are bad.. our only goal in the drug war should be to kill drug lords and destroy their crops and facilities
Give mandatory rehab to addicts. Stop ignoring them and get them off the streets and into treatment programs.
Wouldn't it be MUCH more efficient to stop the damned smugglers from trying? It's not the wall's fault, it's the fault of your insanely soft laws on illegal entry.
You forgot the key: NO largess for illegal foreign nationals. No drivers license, no voting, no healthcare, no access to public schools, no welfare, no jobs, no renting or buying property, etc etc. That's how you stop them. When they realise there's nothing in it for them, they'll stop in a nanosecond.
Of course, that goes without saying. If I overstay my tourist visa in Japan I'll be deported. America should be no different.
