    I saw nothing in the story to indicate that the kid was being abused.

    Hey Dems think of it as a tax. The people don't mind paying if it goes to something that helps all Americans including you.

    Just donated some money myself.

    This evening, the amount being raised is averaging over $ 1,000 per minute.

    Let me see, as of the moment of this post, the amount is now over $ 10,270,000.

    Leave it to you to play the race card. Not surprising considering the source.

    Wow:
    The source is at the top of this thread (the Go Fund Me site). In the two minutes between my post and the one immediately before it, about 340,000 was raised.

    The sad thing is people could simply use Google to easily determine that the US Treasury does not accept conditional financial gifts. I would argue that the foolish desire to donate to the wall gofundme site is not a product of low intelligence. Rather it is a product of ignorance, naivete, and wishful thinking. There are a lot of ignorant people that have a high IQ. Then again maybe critical thinking is lacking in modern society.

    The following shows that private contributions for a wall cannot be accepted without enabling legislation. Now if Congress will not budget a small amount of money for a wall it means that Congress does not want a wall to be built. It seem pretty obvious that legislation from Warren Davidson will NEVER make it to the House floor and if it did would be defeated. Davidson knows this but he is appealing to the low information crowd.

    The Nigerian scammers have missed a real opportunity with the wall donations.

    If you think it is suspect.....then look it up. Maybe you can find another statistic. For the US it talks about the Southwest.

    Yes the Great Wall of China is a Tourist attraction. Yet how many people are climbing over it?


    U.S. Border Fence – Southwest Border Sectors

    The Secure Fence Act, passed by Congress in 2006, authorized the Department of Homeland Security to build 652 miles of fencing along the US-Mexico border. Ideally, a fence should cover the entire area it is meant to protect, but the law left large areas unguarded.

    As the graph below shows, despite these shortcomings, the number of illegal aliens caught by US border patrol fell dramatically as the length of the southwest barrier increased—evidence that even a limited barrier can deter illegal immigration.

    [​IMG]

    Only Latin Americans and sub-Saharan Africans are less likely to live in countries with barriers. Nations that are unattractive to illegal immigrants do not build walls.

    Here are photographs of some of the border fences and walls found around the world.….snip~ Same link

    You can note the Countries listed with their border barriers.

    Is it? And why would that matter to me considering I am of mixed races. The site had the data.

    The UN Migration Study link......is that a White Supremacist link too? What excuse do you have for them? Are they racists like leftists?

    So since you can't debunk the data, did you think by deflecting to some White Supremacy bullshit that it changes up the data.

    Hmmm you haven't been able to debunk any of it. Imagine that.

    This psychotic focus on building a concrete wall along our border when an electronic surveillance system backed up by our border guards, would do a better job at a cheaper price, makes absolutely no sense to me.

    Yep, he doesn't hold back that he's just here to troll. If he wasn't a radical left winger he'd be banned by now.

    He's over $11 million now, looks like quite a few people. You're on the wrong side of America, again. That has to suck.

    If the site had the “data” it would be suspect

    Such sites are superb practitioners of the art of cherry picking

    Possibly. I guess you'd have to live in a trailer park to know.

    They don't want a wall, they'd rather have enough votes (however they can get them) to win an election. If that means destroying America then taking a step in that direction is worth it to them.

    The problem with that is that democrats want to give government benefits to anyone who makes it here by hook or by crook. All they have to do is step foot on America and democrats will rush to give them benefits.

    It's another slap to the face of the left and it shows them what America wants. It's only stupid to you because you don't like it. The people need to stay the course and we'll go from there.

    Yes, it does matter that you linked to a white supremacy site to defend your argument you have been posting about for days.
