We don't need a Wall, just cut off all Welfare/Magnets to them, The Immigrants who first came did not get Welfare or free anything from the Government, We don't want Leeches, We want America Loving Rugged Individualist's and Risk Takers.

Do you not think that some asylum-seeking immigrant from Haiti who somehow survived the earthquake, left the island, survived the horrendous xenophobia of Mexico, not to mention drug cartels, only to arrive at our border penniless where he gets chased around in a river by a cop on a horse is not a risk taker?

This isn’t a comment on whether to let him in or not. It’s a comment on your comment.

The abject failure of Americans to regard non-white non-Americans as having basic human attributes is stunning.

That’s not to say that all 1.7 million successfully entered the US, but that is still an insanely high number of attempts. Maybe the border wall wasn’t such a bad idea after all?

Walls DON'T work! They just don't work. Well, then why is Biden building a wall around his beachfront property if they don't work?

Meanwhile, we are seeing big spikes in inflation due to worker shortages. New immigrants have always been the ready and willing source of labor for many of the industries that are short workers (meat packing, transport, food service, agriculture, etc.).

So the libs are saying its Trum fault bc he promised a wall and didn't deliver? and all the people crossing the border are owed a chance in the US bc they already f'up their country, and while they won't do anything to improve their country they are going to come to the us and be model tax paying citizens... and they are all drs and engineers and other talented people...

Let them come over and lets make a federal law that you have to pay them the same minimum wage they would earn in their country. That would be a bonus for businesses and fair/equal pay as if they were still in their country.

Mexico Minimum wage $7.10 per day

Guatemala 52.57/week

Have you been to places like Wyoming OP? We have plenty of space for whoever wants to enter the US. There's also plenty of money to create infrastructure if we ever want to tax the super rich & spend less on military. I'm sure you're indigenous OP & that your family came to the US legally. Keep it classy ya'll.
