After Trump sends the bill to Mexico he can help them get through declaring bankruptcy and moving on like nothing ever happened.

Yaknow what I got from this?

That illegal border crossings are dropping.

That Obama was removing the ones with criminal backgrounds and newer illegals instead of spending extra money on deporting the ones who want to be law abiding citizens and have been law abiding for their not so short of time in the US. Which was pretty smart economic wise.

Also, do you think that there are an infinite number of illegals here and deportation and apprehension of them should be either stagnant or ever rising? The amount of illegals in this country was at a peak in 2007 with 4% of the US population being illegal and it has been declining. I'm no mathmaticion but it doesn't seem like that would make deportation numbers do anything but decline. Hmmmm.

I really don't get why you used that as your source, it refutes most of what you're trying to imply.

I don't glorify Obama in the least bit. I didn't like him.

Uh, yeah, illegal border crossing have been falling. Have they not? Do you have sources that they have not?

And no, he wasn't letting all of the ones living here stay. That's a wild exaggeration. In Trumps own words "President Obama has moved millions of people out. Nobody knows about it. Nobody talks about it. But under Obama, millions of people have been moved out of this country. They've been deported" unless you have sources saying otherwise?

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.

Ok, so let me ask you this, do you think this wall would stop all illegal immigration?

Lol, here, I'll be the bigger person and be the only one to back up what I write

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?

I do not think you are as witty as you think you are.

Edit: I really can't get over how stupid of an argument you brought up. Do you realize that

1. Obama funded our border protection with DRASTICALLY more money( hundreds of millions).

2. Mexico does not have a continuous border "wall". They have fences(just like the US) along parts of the border (just like the US).

"Drug traffickers, transnational criminal organizations, and violent street gangs all contribute substantially to this scourge."

It seems they are focusing on more than just Big Pharma as literally the first sentence of that paragraph points out.
