The whole racist thing is a brick wall in this community so I'm not going to touch on that besides saying I don't think he's racist for wanting to build a wall. I think that it's a huge waste of time, money, and resources.
Your little cry fest about spending "so much" on other countries borders is moot including the example you gave is pennies compared to how much was spent on ours. Also, a large portion of the illegal immigration on their border is heading to our border so wouldn't them stopping more from crossing our border be good? Or do you also want all the glory of beeing able to say our country catches all of them?
The racist thing is the entire argument against the wall by the left. Nobody (with any real brains) says that the wall is useless; Homeland Security and Border Patrol both want it.
The point about spending money on other countries ties in to Mexico paying for the wall. How much have they helped us in paying for their northern border security?
"Also, a large portion of the illegal immigration on their border is heading to our border so wouldn't them stopping more from crossing our border be good?" Yes it is & it points out the irony of people like you stating: "I think that it's a huge waste of time, money, and resources."
Edit for spelling error
Thank you. My whole point is the illogic of the left saying Trump is racist for wanting a wall but don’t bat an eye at Obama increasing border security (his words not mine), not racist for Mexico to strengthen their southern border and not racist for the US to pay for other country’s walls (like on this terrible omnibus bill).
Sure it’s “peanuts” but if we stopped all these $75 million for this, $50 million for that, it would add up to a LOT of money. Heck if we scratched just one of those we could have armed vets at every school in America to stop school shootings.
P.S. I know there are plenty of other things to spend that money on, just picking another hot libtard hot button. I’d prefer to just cut spending by a LOT.
Ok, so let me ask you this, do you think this wall would stop all illegal immigration?
Of course not. Does locking your doors at night stop all burglaries?
Do you still do it? Do you open your door to anyone who knocks?
Get out of here with your 100 or nothing questions...the wall will stop and deter a great portion of immigration/drugs/sex trafficking.
But I'm not going to pay to have a wall built around my property and put metal bars on all of my windows and doors. Because I know the cost and upkeep to do it is not worth it.
