[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In 2016 immigration/borders was the mainstay of his platform. He promised to build a wall and that Mexico was going to pay for it. We all know that didn't happen. Again, in 2024, this is the mainstay of his platform. What do you think he is going to do differently this time? [/quote]

Democrats shut down the government rather than protect our country with border barriers.

He did a good job last time with safe third country agreements, Migrant Protection Protocol and expulsion orders. All he needs to do is reinstate those policies and cancel Biden’s CBP One app and disastrous CHNV parole program and we will be in a lot better shape as a country. [/quote]
The last shutdown began in 2018 with Trump in the White House and Republicans controlling both the House and the Senate. Trump himself took credit for the shutdown: "I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down." That is not Democrats shutting down the government.[/quote]
Because Democrats refused to fund the wall.  [/quote]
With good reason. The wall can be scaled with a $20 ladder or breached with a $100 saw. Building the wall is a waste of resources.[/quote]

Democrats don't oppose a wall because it won't work.  They oppose a wall because it will work.[/quote]

DP. Yeah, no. They oppose it because it is “mean”.

I am a conservative on the immigration issue. However, the wall is not the answer. The cost of building and maintaining it would be astronomical and useless without law enforcement and better policy. Sure there are some areas in highly populated areas where an actual physical barrier is needed, but what is really needed is better laws and policy.

1. End birthright citizenship
2. Safe third country agreement with Mexico
3. Enforce existing laws, no flying people in, start deporting criminals and individuals who have already had asylum claim denied or they disappeared/no-show to asylum interview or hearing, stop making it easy for people with no claim to be here come into the city of their choice and be put up in hotels and given thousands of dollars, just stop it already. 
4. Re-implement detention
5. Sure, put up a cheap fence, put plenty of signs in multiple languages making it clear that this is the U.S. border and crossing it illegally will have specific consequences. No one accidentally “wandering in”.
6. End all these TPS programs. There is human suffering all over the world. If we start letting everyone experiencing some sort of economic or other hardship in, we will have a billion people here very soon. It’s hard but we simply cannot absorb them and we need to think about our own families first.

We do not need to eliminate asylum altogether, but end its abuse as an easy means to enter. True refugees can and will be willing to wait in camps for processing. [/quote]
