    I’ll agree a border barrier won’t be 100 percent effective. I also agree food stamps aren’t 100 percent reflective to address poverty, and hunger. So since they both aren’t...will Dems agree to end snap?

    Prison walls don’t either...should we take prison walls down and take killers at their word they won’t leave? SNAP also doesn’t fully address hunger or poverty...should we cut that? The entire war on poverty, since it’s started we have actually see an increase...kill all those programs too? You are agree to that, I’ll support you on the wall

    I dunno, AJ - lately I've been seriously debating PM-ing you to find out if you're for real about all this or if your posts are a persona of some sort. There's times I can't rule out you being an actual conservative IRL trolling what a liberal is supposed to be.

    I mean, look at your posts: You didn't actually discuss what Hilla said. In fact, all you did was 1) discuss the source and 2) diss the RW.

    Put another way, why are you so quick TO troll threads?

    SNAP is here to stay.

    Trump's Wall isn't happening.

    Deal with those 2 FACTS and things will be easier.

    I guess I'm fated never to have anything in common with poor, old Hillary. She thinks Americans can't afford another day of a 'government shutdown' at THIS level...?! HA! At nothing more than THIS level I could very comfortably kick back and ENDURE a continuing 'government shutdown' through at least the rest of this fiscal year -- and probably through the end of this entire calendar year, too.

    And then on into the year 2020? Well, so far, it's 'no skin off my nose'.... I mean, really... if these are NON-ESSENTIAL government employees, what the hell do we even have them on a government payroll for in the first place?! Besides, our military personnel could function in many of these roles, such as airport security screening, monitoring safety in the national parks, etc.

    :shock: Thereby proving that 90% of the US is Liberal? Blimey it's worse than I thought; it's probably the same here too, then. Where the US goes, the UK follows? That explains a lot, doncha agree? :mrgreen:

    But we shouldn’t have SNAP based on the logic Dems are using not tobfund border security

    What Americans cannot afford is the federal government the way it is.

    i think there is your problem really
    first you complain how this proofs that the country is deeply divided then you instantly attack the other side for being insane and deluded without even considering they might have a point on some things.

    the wall won't be 100% effective but it will help
    extra guards and tech wont be 100% effective either but it will help

    combination of both would be the most effective
    think of that for a moment and 5 billion is nothing compared to some of the crap you guys waste your money on every year

    What would be MORE effective is an investment in more and better technology and added personnel. And that wouldn't cost as much.

    It would cost more and still not stop crossings. Once here they can claim amnesty.

    How would technology stop them? Robot tazers?

    Arresting then after they cross and then releasing them into the public isn't the answer.

    Have the democrats fallen into a Trump trap?

    One government worker estimated from experience that only about 12% of government workers do superior work and 40% actively work against the administration.

    After 30 days of furlough (22 work days) a government worker can be RIFef (reduction in force). It is nearly impossible to fire a government worker but the RIF is different.

    Posts like this are why you want to cut off replies to a topic after a year are so.
    You know, like your 2016 election predictions.

    So, yes, a wall -will- be more effective than what we have now. Thank you.
    You have no idea whatsoever if this is true.

    In California convicts no longer try to dig a hole to escape from prison, they know a Democratic Governor or Democrat state legislature will release them from prison in less than 10 years.

    You’re still not addressing the obvious...

    Immigrants can and will still get in with a wall built, especially coupled with the fact most come here legally at first.
