    Let's stop calling them "migrants". They are more like vagrants.

    Mexico keeping them at their border as opposed to allowing them passage and eventually penetrating our border saves the US a lot of $$$ that can be used to add to the construction of the "Wall".

    Invaders would be more accurate.
    We have enough poverty here in the US without importing more.

    Trump increased aid to Mexico from 320 million to 1.1 billion to help stem the caravans. Now tell us again about saving any money on a wall...

    I googled your claim and found this....
    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...-central-america-curb-migration-idUSKBN1OH23X
    Since much of the money will come through the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) and will not cost U.S. taxpayers, it is “the creative solution that was found that makes this much more palatable to the Trump administration,” Wilson said.

    Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said Washington is committing $5.8 billion to development in Central America and increasing public and private investment in Mexico via OPIC by $4.8 billion.

    The money runs out faster when taxpayers need to support illegals with their schooling costs, medical costs, criminal costs, court costs, prison costs, deportation costs, human suffering costs, the costs or registering them to vote and printing their ballots. Do you have any idea what 20 millions illegals is costing our environment in terms of pollution, water usage, electric usage, sewage and litter?

    But illegals who can't get their own country right will come to the greatest and most powerful country on the planet and improve it all while reducing crime. That's what the left wants us to believe.

    One minute you guys tell us Trump hates brown people, the next minute you wrongly try to tell us he's sending tons of cash to them. Who sends $1.1 large to people they hate?

    The majority of illegals in the USA come here legally and overstay their visit.How much does the US prosper off the backs of the illegals? Do you know that number is it not in yer echo chamber file?

    You mean there are 11 million visa overstays?
    And rather than saying the US prospers on the backs of illegals, how about the reality that only the employers who would rather save a few dollars by hiring an illegal instead of an American, benefits from a pool of cheap labor.
    Time to go after the employers by mandating they all use E-Verify.

    The reasons why the E-Verify system is not used is the agriculture lobbyist buy it into non-use so they can exploit the illegals to make buck for profit...No secret that our leaders in DC are paid off by big business, yet they have the common taxpayer fighting over so called party politicy to blind them to the truth.

    The vast majority of visa overstays (over 90%) return home within a few months of expiration of said visa.

    Why? Because they are already in "the system" and don't want to blow a chance at re entry or eventually becoming a citizen.

    They would survive just fine without a single illegal. You know that right? Their profit is meaningless and they would adapt. What’s more important is the damage they cause citizens and the resources they use that they’re incapable of paying back. And how valuable is a murder or rape that never should have occurred? Or the generational poverty that illegals breed?

    I had to fight the use of illegals in the construction trade during the last thirty five years and those contractors had zero problems claiming they were better workers than the citizens.I saw those good old chuch going white citizens hire illegals knowing they were illegals and then stuffing(not paying) them on jobs, they did just to save their money. Don't tell me it's the Democrats and the Repubs are stopping it because it continues to this day in the real world.
    The guy I was a laborer for in 1980 hired illegals because help was hard to find. I trained illegals to do my job so I could become a bricklayer in 1982. So don't tell me your condensed version of reality that you never experienced firsthand. In 2007 I was losing contracts left and right to those illegals underbidding the jobs and the Republican contractors loved it all while speaking out the other side of their mouth claiming it was the Democrats who wanted the illegals in the USA... As far as I am concerned both parties are guilty of using the illegals in their plans..
