Popular Post mcambl61 Posted June 20, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2018 So the country that allows these migrants to be trafficked by the smugglers that pay off the police and feds call a country following the law. Mexico is woefully corrupt and is a big part of the problem. no hypocrisy here at all. another reason to build walls where there are no barriers to crossing illegally. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm busy taking care of my own kids. Right? I don't understand how somebody can switch off their empathy for suffering children just because they're on the other side of an imaginary line. Heartless. what an obtuse ridiculous statement. Mexico is half the problem, they allow it and take bribes to allow it. the whole thing is being blown out of proportion for votes. A very easy fix to the laws and this goes away, except for the liberal media 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post foxboy Posted June 20, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2018 I hear lots of anger and disgust at Trump's policy, but I still haven't heard a workable solution to the problem. 'Catch and release' is no deterrent, they will be back the next day. So how do you deter illegal immigrants from crossing borders? Can anybody tell me.. or do you just let them all in? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If illegal immigration was the problem Trump says it is, he could propose instituting e-verify for all employers. He promised to do that during his campaign. But that would mean antagonizing powerful business interests that depend on undocumented workers. So maybe it's not such a big problem after all. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read in context, please. Quote Mexico is half the problem, they allow it and take bribes to allow it. They "allow" it? Are they supposed to be like North Korea and not let people out of the country? This is a recent problem, but Mexico has been around for more than 200 years. Quote the whole thing is being blown out of proportion for votes. I agree; seems Trump will do anything for votes.

Care for them and give them free goverment housing and goverment money. Problem solved. First of all, Mexico does have enforcement in place to stop Central Americans from crossing their southern border. What percentage of illegal aliens does the American border patrol stop? Given that Mexico is a much poorer country with less resources, and that central americans look like many mexicans, why would you expect them to be able to stop all or even most? And do you think possible, just maybe, there's an outside chance that Trump's constant trash talking about Mexicans and Mexico might have slightly diminished their zeal to assist ICE? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Catch and release' is no deterrent, they will be back the next day. So how do you deter illegal immigrants from crossing borders? Can anybody tell me.. or do you just let them all in? Sadly we need to remove the emotion from our collective rhetoric. "Solutions" are probably out there. Please watch the video I posted (Post 52). I think many people want to help our fellow human beings, not sure President Trump is against helping. However, his political agenda will have political components which are anti-human. China supports ALL dictatorships, torturers, Junta's, fascist governments, EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY THAT ENGAGES IN HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IS SUPPORTED AND OFTEN FUNDED BY CHINA. China will veto ANY country attempting to stop any of those governments improving their human rights. Much to the disgust of MANY (If not MOST) Chinese people. Mark my words, Just watch them manipulate North Korea, they CANNOT AND WILL NOT permit President Trump and his allies to succeed in bringing about peace & prosperity to the Korean Peninsular. Personally I think we need to support "the free world" including the POTUS. By all means, lobby for him/her to tweak their policies. They are not omnipotent! Under it's present dictatorship, China cannot EVER assist, where human rights are concerned. Attacking the leaders of countries "calling out" China, be it on trade, human rights, etc.. etc.. is IMHO counterproductive. We must too, separate the beautiful Chinese people, from the dictatorship that rules them and support them in their quest to transition to a more humanitarian style of Government. Ultimately there is no single answer, in the past we used WAR to change things - Let us use our intellect as a species, to find a different way.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe so, but I come from the poor half of the USA, and an awful lot of people in America don't feel "rich". There is huge disparity when talking averages, and in addition to being a large economy, the USA also has a very bad distribution of income. That is a more important consideration than size.
