Just another example of Trump's base buying into the misinformation and fear.. of brown people
Ryan would give visas to Irish workers, 
why do conservatives scream states rights when it suits them? ... But dont support states rights to not to enforces federal immigration (misdemeanors ) and detentions without reimbursement ... even in mass we bring people to federal court on ICE detainers so again the lie sold by the right is again just more misinformation .. you see it in gun control... the right calls it confiscation or any other argument on any topic the rights core element is fear .. |
"The majority of immigrants settling in the U.S. without authorization are first coming to the country legally,

So unless the wall can fix every aspect of immigration, as well as cure cancer, it's not worth building?
People still escape from prison despite the existence of prison guards, so should we do away with prison guards (see what I did there? I used your "logic").
No ne said the wall was perfect, and that it would reduce illegal immigration to zero. What people are saying (thoughtful, sane people that is),is that it will help. I keep seeing that between 1,000 and 3,000 people a day cross the border. Some of them will have the ability to bypass a wall. Some will not. The wall will help. It won't reduce the number of people crossing illegally to zero, but it will reduce it from where it is today.
It's obvious common sense. You really disagree with that?
