There is no "illegal" immigration in the south side of America that can be stopped by a wall. Crossing the border without permission and then asking for asylum is a form of Legal immigration.

You're an idiot if you don't see that.

That's why Keith Ellison wore a shirt that said "I don't believe in borders." That's why dems support sanctuary cities for illegals. That's why dems support asylum fraud. That's why dems don't want to build a wall. That's why dems want mass amnesty. That's why dems don't want to deport illegals. That's why dems support every single thing that makes it easier for illegal immigrants to remain here.

Idiot.

There are over ten million illegal immigrants in the country. A tiny fraction may be true asylum seekers. If they wanted to apply for asylum they'd go to a port of entry and apply for it. Instead, they jump the border, stay here for months or years, and then when caught apply for asylum because they know it will drag things out. How naive are you to not understand that the vast majority of illegals are economic migrants???

So, the ones who cross the border illegally and disappear into the shadows are what? Uninvited guests?
Amazing that the areas in which strong border barriers have been constructed illegal entry has dropped to almost nothing......Why do you suppose that is?

But I keep hearing that Dems supported wall funding before but now they don't because of Trump.

Deportations also went up during the Obama years.

Doesn't sound like they want open borders to me.

Sanctuary cities - local law enforcements usually want people to not be afraid to report violent crimes. Also, they are not responsible for checking papers. That's like saying ICE should be issuing speeding tickets. Local law enforcement agencies do honor holding requests by ICE if they are given time.

Where in the US is this amazing place where border walls have dropped illegal entry into almost nothing?

The GAO taaked the Border Patrol for collecting data and providing metrics by which to measure success of fencing as a tool to help them with their job. Has this happened yet?

I’d like to see data and not emotions.

How does this lie keep making its way around? Obama simply "redefined" what counted as a deportation by counting those who were turned away at the border as a deportation. Google it. It takes two seconds. This is incredibly well known.

Obviously there needs to be a multi-faceted approach. The status quo is very clearly not working. Just worth considering that there may be some merit to an expanded barrier.

You know illegal immigration is down over the past decade. Why is that?

Because the American Dream is dead and it's too costly for many immigrants from south of the border to make a new life here? Plus, racism.

I suspect immigration was down before the fall of Rome as well.

I take it back, you're not an idiot. You're a F*CKING idiot. Glad we cleared that up.

Well, gee, I guess since Trump can redefine what a border wall means, Obama can redefine what deportations mean.

But no, the deportations were redefined under Bush, not Obama, and it was a good move. It ensured that law enforcement had documentation on who was being caught, whereas previously, illegal immigrants caught at the border were simply released back to Mexico without going through the formal deportations. Prior to this, the official number of deportations weren't counting the "catch and release" back to Mexico numbers.

Isn't Trump still using the same deportation definition now? If so, then Obama still deported more than Trump.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/obama-deported-more-people/

that statistic is somewhat misleading, as a significant portion of it was due to a change in the way “deportations” are defined that began during the Bush administration..

Now, the vast majority of border crossers who are apprehended get fingerprinted and formally deported. The change began during the George W. Bush administration and accelerated under Obama. The policy stemmed in part from a desire to ensure that people who had crossed into the country illegally would have formal charges on their records.

In the Obama years, all of the increase in deportations has involved people picked up within 100 miles of the border..

Even a conservative site states that deportations were higher under Obama than Trump, using the same deportation definition.

Trump is the one who doesn't seem to be serious about building a wall. Why did he turn down $25 billion when it was offered?
It's far more useful to have the wall as a wedge issue to keep his low-IQ base in a constant state of agitation. And to deflect from all the administration's shenanigans.

Mark Morgan, a career FBI official who served as Border Patrol chief for the last six months of the Obama administration before being removed once President Trump took office, has come out this week in support of a border wall.

Morgan, who has kept a low profile since he was forced to step down, first gave an interview to Law and Crime in which he defended the White House’s desire to build a wall along the U.S. southern border.

The morning after Trump reiterated in a prime-time address to the nation why wall funding was worth shutting down 25 percent of the federal government, Morgan told The Fix that he’s breaking his silence because, in his view, the wall is an important piece in a group of policy changes needed to secure the border.

“I was removed. I’m standing up and saying, ‘I should have disdain for them, but I don’t because they are right,' " Morgan said. “I can stand up and say they are right because it’s the right thing to do for this country. I’m begging the president to stay the course.”

Here is one area.

For years, Yuma sector was besieged by chaos as a nearly unending flood of migrants and drugs poured across our border. Even as agents were arresting on average 800 illegal aliens a day, we were still unable to stop the thousands of trucks filled with drugs and humans that quickly crossed a vanishing point and dispersed into communities all across the country.

It is hard for anyone familiar with Yuma sector today to imagine this scene. That’s because nearly a decade ago, a group of bipartisan lawmakers came together to protect the homeland, save innocent lives, and build a physical barrier across the border.

The bipartisan Secure Fence Act of 2006 — supported by then-Sens. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden and others — mandated the construction of hundreds of additional miles of secure fencing and infrastructure investments. Yuma sector was one of the first areas to receive infrastructure investments.

We built new infrastructure along the border east and west of the San Luis Arizona Port of Entry in 2006. The existing fence was quickly lengthened, and we added second and third layers to that fencing in urban areas. Lighting, roads and increased surveillance were added to aid agents patrolling the border.

Although there is still work to do, the border in Yuma sector today is more secure because of this investment. Even under lax enforcement standards, apprehensions in fiscal year 2016 were roughly a 10th of what they were in FY 2005 — and are on track to be even lower this year. Crime has significantly decreased in the Yuma area, and smugglers now look for other less difficult areas of the border to cross — often areas without fencing.
