[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no political benefit to Trump to actually come up with a sensible solution to illegal immigration. It's far more useful to him to use simple-minded ideas like the wall to keep his base riled up.[/quote]

As if democrats arent using it as a wedge issue. :roll: [/quote]
Trump has that covered better than anyone.[/quote]

Democrats absolutely use it as a wedge issue too to the same degree.

Mind you there is already a wall on the border that most of  them voted for previously. Democrats somehow only find this particular piece  of border wall immoral and ineffective. But for some odd reason they aren't talking about tearing down the wall sections they voted for previously. [/quote]
Probably because back when they voted for it,

1. they weren't going to build along the Rio Grande, which would be really difficult and expensive

2. we didn't have the type of high tech gizmos we have today. Even the military uses more high tech gear today than they did  8 years, which Trump btw wants us to go back to using tanks and steam power for our weapons.[/quote]

There are a lot of other places that need wall not on the Rio Grande and you know it. These people are walking across deserts way out in remote areas. Those places need wall.

Trump wants to use 'high tech gizmos'too.. in addition to a wall. To stop the hundreds of people flooding the border daily. None of the high tech gizmos will physically stop people or even slow them down.

None of this explains why a wall is immoral now but not back when they voted for it. Most people agree that the places that are walled saw a drop in illegal crossings. In fact humanitarian groups have said that is why there has been an increase in deaths... because people are pushing out to more remote places with no wall to cross and end up dying in the heat... because the wall is so effective.[/quote]

+100
Yet the U.S. is somehow being blamed for the deaths of people who *choose* to make a long and dangerous journey.[/quote]
