‘Securing’ the border is ‘a term’ every one of them use...including Trump. None have mentioned closing our borders even on a temporary basis. And they all will have one form of amnesty or another...they will simply change the “term” they use in defining it.
Dealing with the “illegals” means to politicians how to make them legal with the least amount of blowback from the public. They won’t be sending them home...at best they’ll send back the bad ones but it won’t go much further than that.
I say this because if any candidate or politician pushes too hard they’ll be in the streets.....history has shown this. And it always works in their favor when they do.
Trump said he’ll build a wall.
What other candidate has said that he’ll build a wall on the border? Only Trump
What other candidate understands how
china is destroying the USA? Only Trump.
I’m using it in the sense that it is understood by non-politicians: we actually control who crosses our southwestern border.
If a president does accomplish this, I believe everyone here concedes we will then deal with our uninvited foreign guests.
There is no urgency in doing that, except in locating and imprisoning the criminals and deporting the deadbeats; they snuck across our border, no one dragged them kicking and screaming with promises of citizenship and ‘three hots & a cot’ and no one is forcing them to stay.
They’re sure as well not going anywhere.
Screw the “learning to speak English, paying a fine” and all the other BS everyone knows they will just ignore. Like the court dates the “children” are ignoring.
Maybe as part of their penalty, at least for the able-bodied (whose only crime was breaking our immigration laws) they might be given an opportunity to stay if they scrupulously adhered to a work agreement to help build an Israeli-type barrier. And with no guarantees either.
But real border security as sine qua non.
If Trump or Cruz or whomever agreed to something like this, and broke his word, I suspect everyone here would agree to hand his lying a** over to the Democrats.
But enough with the negative vibrations, Moriarity.
