Did you mean to say pay the owners fair market price for real estate they bought and pay taxes?


Fair market prices? LOL.
How about give them a pittance, like when Trump was able to get the government to use eminent domain to seize real estate so that he could build his casino in Atlantic City. That's the MAGA way.


Yes, i think people deserve to be paid a fair market price. (Please try to converse without bringing up Trump and MAGA. )


TOUGH SHIT! WE WILL KEEP BRINGING UP TRUMP AND MAGA EVERY SINGLE DAY UNTIL THE DAY HE IS NO LONGER IN POLITICS.
Total FAIL on your part. Get used to it. If you don't like it, complain to Republicans, not us.


Hope you're okay. Nonetheless, I happen to think eminent domain is unfair.


I'm fine, but obviously you aren't, since you voted for a guy who thinks eminent domain seizure is great and he made millions off of it.


What??? No one said that.


It's hilarious to watch people on the right clutch pearls say "moi?" and try to thread the needle around the Trump elephant in the room, thinking they have some kind of plausible deniability, when they don't.


What does Trump have to do with this. Trump is not the president. Joe Biden is. Eric Adams is the mayor. No one else. Concentrate on you.



People like Trump are exactly the problem. How many illegals are working at Trump Resorts?

You want to stop illegal migration? Arrest the Trumps and all the other wealthy people hiring undocumented workers. No work. No pay. No migrants.

No wall is going to keep people out. But if you arrest the people hiring undocumented workers and give them lengthy prison sentences, the problem is solved.

The Republican response to that solution, of course, is crickets.


Perhaps you should focus on the DEMOCRATS' response to the border crisis, which is to refuse to secure the border in the first place. No one would be hiring illegal immigrants if they weren't in the country in the first place, genius. But nice deflection, whataboutism, and gaslighting. Bravo.

It's impossible to defend a nearly 2000 mile border with Mexico. Every fence can be breached. The vast, vast majority of migrants are streaming into the US for economic opportunities.

You want to stop it? Arrest and imprison the people hiring them.

Problem solved. Doesn't matter if you're a Trump or a contractor or someone looking for a nanny. Hire an illegal and go to prison for ten years. I guarantee you there will be no more migrants crossing the border.

But Republicans don't like that solution


That’s not true

You can invade Mexico and annex a 50 mile wide strip on their side of the border, densely mine it, build border posts to monitor the entire length with millions of drones operating 24/7 in shifts, backed up by a massive increase in border patrol

Now, all this would cost an absolute gargantuan amount but it isn’t impossible if you are willing to do anything and everything



Wow, go to war with Mexico? Wildest take yet.


I think PP was just responding to the idea that it’s “impossible” to secure the southern border. It’s possible, just not easy. DP


Yup. But it can be done


How exactly? How do you secure a 2000 mile border? Humans have migrated in response to local conditions for thousands of years. They always find a way, especially if they are willing to die in the process.


Let’s ask some people from the former East Germany - they were good with walls and borders!

The PP explained exactly how.


Explain it to me like I’m a 5 year old.


To quote that PP:

“ You can invade Mexico and annex a 50 mile wide strip on their side of the border, densely mine it, build border posts to monitor the entire length with millions of drones operating 24/7 in shifts, backed up by a massive increase in border patrol

Or, they could have finished the wall that Trump tried to do. Sure, it doesn't stop everyone--but it certainly slows them down and it would help with the getaways

But, mostly, this asylum thing is troubling. The child trafficking is also troubling. The fenanyl is troubling.

Great pressure could be put on Mexico. Asylum seekers are supposed to seek asylum in the first country they come to. Mexico could stop a lot at their southern border.

at $27million per mile, that a $5 ladder could overcome. That's some great ROI there. No wonder Trump went bankrupt multiple times.

Everyone has answered this question wrong.

The answer is that Mexico is part of the solution. They have a pinch point north of their southern boarder with Guatemala and Belize, just south of veracruz, that is less than 200 miles long.

Most of the problematic immigration comes through Mexico from countries south of Mexico. Mexicans share Americans frustration with illegal immigration.

So we make a treaty with Mexico and build a massive border south of Mexico, either at the pinch point or on the actual southern border of Mexico. This international border should be jointly funded and manned.

The solution was 24x7 men in towers. For the Berlin Wall alone there were 300 watchtowers, manned by multiple soldiers each, 24 hours a day, with shoot to kill orders.

Did you mean to say pay the owners fair market price for real estate they bought and pay taxes?


Fair market prices? LOL.
How about give them a pittance, like when Trump was able to get the government to use eminent domain to seize real estate so that he could build his casino in Atlantic City. That's the MAGA way.


Yes, i think people deserve to be paid a fair market price. (Please try to converse without bringing up Trump and MAGA. )


TOUGH SHIT! WE WILL KEEP BRINGING UP TRUMP AND MAGA EVERY SINGLE DAY UNTIL THE DAY HE IS NO LONGER IN POLITICS.
Total FAIL on your part. Get used to it. If you don't like it, complain to Republicans, not us.


Hope you're okay. Nonetheless, I happen to think eminent domain is unfair.


I'm fine, but obviously you aren't, since you voted for a guy who thinks eminent domain seizure is great and he made millions off of it.


What??? No one said that.


It's hilarious to watch people on the right clutch pearls say "moi?" and try to thread the needle around the Trump elephant in the room, thinking they have some kind of plausible deniability, when they don't.


What does Trump have to do with this. Trump is not the president. Joe Biden is. Eric Adams is the mayor. No one else. Concentrate on you.



People like Trump are exactly the problem. How many illegals are working at Trump Resorts?

You want to stop illegal migration? Arrest the Trumps and all the other wealthy people hiring undocumented workers. No work. No pay. No migrants.

No wall is going to keep people out. But if you arrest the people hiring undocumented workers and give them lengthy prison sentences, the problem is solved.

The Republican response to that solution, of course, is crickets.


Perhaps you should focus on the DEMOCRATS' response to the border crisis, which is to refuse to secure the border in the first place. No one would be hiring illegal immigrants if they weren't in the country in the first place, genius. But nice deflection, whataboutism, and gaslighting. Bravo.

It's impossible to defend a nearly 2000 mile border with Mexico. Every fence can be breached. The vast, vast majority of migrants are streaming into the US for economic opportunities.

You want to stop it? Arrest and imprison the people hiring them.

Problem solved. Doesn't matter if you're a Trump or a contractor or someone looking for a nanny. Hire an illegal and go to prison for ten years. I guarantee you there will be no more migrants crossing the border.

But Republicans don't like that solution


That’s not true

You can invade Mexico and annex a 50 mile wide strip on their side of the border, densely mine it, build border posts to monitor the entire length with millions of drones operating 24/7 in shifts, backed up by a massive increase in border patrol

Now, all this would cost an absolute gargantuan amount but it isn’t impossible if you are willing to do anything and everything



Wow, go to war with Mexico? Wildest take yet.


I think PP was just responding to the idea that it’s “impossible” to secure the southern border. It’s possible, just not easy. DP


Yup. But it can be done


How exactly? How do you secure a 2000 mile border? Humans have migrated in response to local conditions for thousands of years. They always find a way, especially if they are willing to die in the process.


Let’s ask some people from the former East Germany - they were good with walls and borders!

dp.. you're kidding, right? East/West Germany border was 858 miles, and didn't go through the same type of terrain that our borders have with MX.


They are a smart bunch, and their walls and border structures were extremely effective.

I’m sure they can workshop a solution!


The solution was 24x7 men in towers. For the Berlin Wall alone there were 300 watchtowers, manned by multiple soldiers each, 24 hours a day, with shoot to kill orders.

Yet today’s Democrats want our borders open (effectively no border). WHY?

Democratic Congress members from NY decided to go to NYC to have a presser laying out what they need from DC.
It didn't go well.
The residents of NYC weren't having it. Here we have people like AOC and Nadler, who don't reside in NYC and don't have to deal with the migrant issues daily telling the residents of NYC what needs to be done. The residents of NYC let them know what they thought.



The people are angry. And, rightly so.

His point about ‘selected not elected’ is valid

This doesn’t even register on cnn.coms front page. It’s pretty signifanct to have members of congress address the nyc crisis in a press event and be confronted by screaming protesters right in the heels of mayor adams scorching rhetoric. But yeah nothing burger.
