You need to define the situation at hand, and you need to address it with actual data and information behind your proposed solutions.
"A WALL" does none of these things. That "solution" is a rhetorical device, not an actual fact-based proposal with any anticipated results, long-term or short-term. This prez f&c#ed up wrt policy, but he sure does know his base, doesn't he.

It is fine to call it a national emergency.
However, one should use emergency power on emergency actions, not on actions that will be effective in the long run.
For example, if a town does not have a hospital and an accident occurs with many wounded. The emergency action is to either send the wounded to a nearby hospital, and/or to bring in first aid emergency workers to help. Getting money to build a hospital to avoid such a situation in the future, cannot be considered an "emergency action".

Most of the fentanyl comes from China. Why don't you ask Trump to build a wall around China?
This is quite possibly one of the dumbest posts yet. Is China geographically co-located next to our county? Nope. Next!
Not the PP you are responding to but you missed the point, dumbass. PP was being sarcastic and demonstrating how stupid and pointless the wall argument is in context of Fentanyl. Totally flew over your head.

Yep. Same is happening to moco and areas of md. Just a few weeks ago i was in md and a lady behind me was talking to her relatives from the caravan who just arrived into the US and when another relative was coming. We might as well just call it the United States of central America
OMG.. this must be sarcasm. So I take it you are very fluent in spanish, or this person's English was pretty good. BTW, anyone can use google translate so don't bother pretending that you do.

canada won't take them. they have a safe third country agreement with us which means you have to accept "asylum seekers" if they land on your soil first. That is why we need one of those agreements with Mexico. SO they can remain in Mexico and we can deport them back immediately when they come to the border.

Its weird that people think we should only try to solve one problem at a time. drugs from china can be addressed at the same time as drugs coming across the border.

And there's nothing anyone wants to do to help their home countries deal with the problems, so as to make them more safe and stable so that there would be less people fleeing. The refugees showing up at our border are a symptom, but instead they are treated as the disease, and that approach will never solve anything, because people desperate to flee will continue to do so. It's like there's broken glass on your kitchen floor and you're complaining about how many band-aids you've used and how you need shoes with thicker soles instead of even giving any consideration to sweeping the glass up. Instead we should be looking to help those countries. But we don't even want to, because they are "shitholes" not worthy of further consideration, per brilliant Trump foreign policy.
I can’t even with the stupidity. Are you aware of how many billions of dollars the U.S. has given to these countries already, and many more billions are pledged for the future (by the Trump administration, btw) to “help them deal with their problems”?? How much good has this done so far?? It’s as if no money was spent at all. Nothing to show for it. And it’s somehow our fault that these countries can’t manage the money that we’ve pissed away on them? Newsflash: their people will continue coming to the border because they believe they will be admitted to this country. And the U.S. will always be attractive to them, no matter how much money we send to their countries, because liberals have made it their mission to let in as many as possible, for some inexplicable reason.
We've given central America pennies compared to Israel. And you "can't even" with the stupidity given we've thrown vastly more money at other countries at the bidding of their lobbyists? Where's your fiscal outrage over that stupidity?
You "can't even?" LMAO! Come on, do you know how stupid that statement looks?
"LMAO!" Do you know how stupid THAT expression looks?? Israel is clearly a good steward of our aid. They spend it wisely. Are there gangs in Israel? Didn't think so. Can you say the same thing about C. America? What, exactly, have they done with the billions in aid we've given them? NOTHING. They've allowed their countries to turn into cesspools of corruption and violence. And you want to send them yet *MORE* money. No thanks.
In fact, it’s Israel making all the breakthroughs in cancer research
Exactly. I have no problem sending aid to countries who will actually put it to good use.

Given that most of the drugs caught are from legal border entries, a wall won't stop the drugs from MX. To move that much drugs, you need transportation that can carry a heavy load. Human drug smugglers can't carry that much across a desert.
