    Even for those born to parents who are there legally?

    Yes. They are citizens of other countries in my mind who should be returned to their countries. Every other developed nation in the world except for Canada does not have birthright citizenship and we didn't even have it util we needed a loophole to make the former black slaves US citizens. Simply being born on American soil doesn't make you Americans if your parents are foreigners and especially if they did it just so they could get a citizen in the family and get permanent status in the US.

    I don't remember. I guess since you haven't stated what your point is, I don't have a context to relate it to.

    Well its very simple. Is "all crime leads to imprisonment" something that you would say again? And if it is, then what would you mean by it? Its just that you don't seem very confident in your statement.

    What I would mean by it depends on what your point was.

    Why does there need to be a point? You already said it earlier in this thread. Did you think I had a particular point then? If not, then why did you say that statement back then and why can't you confirm it now?

    There is a BIG reason against building the wall. It would be a daily reminder to the sore losers of last November that Donald Trump made fools of them.

    By the way, these aliens which you say can come by plane, are you forgetting that those who have committed crimes won't be able to fly? If there was a wall, how do you suppose the worthless piece of filth who killed Kate Stienle would've crawled his worthless ass back into the country after being deported? Try to answer that one.

    We can't keep all those potential Democratic Party voters out of the country!! We can't build a wall!! We need the votes!! Did you SEE how poorly we did in the last election!? TRUMP (the only president to never ever have worked for the gov't!) beat our "the most qualified candidate for president ever" (Hillary)!! We NEED open borders!!

    Oh right, because every Mexican has the same expert crew that El Chapo had. Try again sir.

    Israel has a wall, and Muslim terrorists penetrating that wall is fortunately fairly rare today. The Israeli wall is working, and so will Trump's wall.

    What? Human traffickers have a hundred times the capital that El Chapo has.

    Why not inform yourself before spewing nonsense?

    I have said so many times on this forum to you guys on the right that if you get all your news from wingnut media, you will never be informed enough to avoid making foolish statements. You guys won't listen!

    Suffice it to say that smuggling people for profit is much more effective than smuggling them to commit acts of terrorism. For the rest of the story and, in general, to understand how the real world works, you would need to turn off Fox for a while, and listen to real news for a change.

    And if we executed them on the spot when we caught them, guess what happens to the traffickers? Same with the drug trade. We know exactly where the larger factories are in Mexico or any country to our south. We could send a drone in there and light the place up in a second. You think they’ll be able to keep investing and rebuilding when it’s destoyed Instantly? It exists because the corrupt ****ing govts down there get kickbacks from the drug lords. We could put them to sleep and end it all in less than a year if we wanted to.

    Is that truck top picture bottomed out? Show us the picture of it coming down the other side.
    OMG give the border patrol some credit, they're allowed to do their jobs now. How long did the builders of that ramp take to build it and what makes you think the BP would not see this happening? The BP has 5k more agents and patrol these areas constantly. Another thing if they did make how many illegals can fit in that truck? You from comedy central?

    Let me get this straight, you're saying smugglers draw the line at smuggling terrorist? I think the smugglers are an equal opportunity outfit, cash is king whether your name is Garcia or Abdullah.

    The wall is a stupid waste of money and completely unnecessary. I do want border security but that can be done by drones and fast response teams and frankly would be far more effective. When the 2008 crash happened and the job market dried up more than 2 million illegal immigrants went back to Mexico. Controlling employment is how you keep the numbers in check. Make fines for employing an illegal supremely high in the $50k or more per violation range. Make it illegal to pay illegals less than they would someone naturally born. One of the things that gets overlooked in the entire argument is that essentially it is low wage indentured servitude. Many of these people are desperate to feed themselves and their families and the employers know it and take advantage by paying them shitty wages. Make them pay tens of thousands of dollars in fines on top of restitution pay to the actual worker if they are caught doing this.

    The subject and the sentiment is the same as it was then. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

    A wall is racist because it keeps out illegal brown people.

    But more importantly, it endangers the future of the Democratic Party.

    I disagree with Nazism.

    Real Americans crushed it before, and we will crush it again if it ever resurfaces.
