[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The general alt-right response to why the Canadian healthcare system won't work for the US is that it can't be "scaled up" -- that when take something which can be funded, delivered, monitored and enforced on a small scale, it doesn't necessarily translate into something which can be done on a large scale.

Sometimes small issues at the small scale become insurmountable on a larger scale. For example, the issue of eminent domain is not usually an issue for building a fence or wall on your own property -- but it sure as hell is going to rear up if you are fencing off all of the southern border of the US, and exponentially so.[/quote]

Why does that make it insurmountable? Take the eminent domain cases to court along with the nature reserves and everyone else who has an issue with it. It may take years but so what? Let it play out. [/quote]

It's not insurmountable, it's just one (*of many*) costs that aren't being addressed. Make a realistic assessment of the scale-up costs, acknowledge how they come into play -- and not in, say, a private home's fence -- and then run it up the GAO flagpole.

But you won't. You just point to a private home fence and act like that's some kind of reasonable analogy.[/quote]

well again i'm not the one who point to a private home fence as an analogy. And again, the parallel is that fences keep people out... which is exactly what a wall would do. Sure we could discussed the total costs but that isnt was is even being requested here so not sure what your point is. [/quote]
Clearly a fence couldn't keep illegals from working at Trump's golf resort so not sure what your point is.[/quote]

If the first wall on the border had been there, they would not have made it to Trump's golf resort fences.

The border wall isnt the only solution. Mandatory e-verify will solve the issue of getting past golf resort fences if they get past the first wall.. [/quote]

Well no, because the Trump Organization knowingly hid illegal immigrants, so making it mandatory just provides another crime to charge them with.  That said you really have no idea how these people made their way to the US.  They could have easily flown here to visit family.[/quote]
