These people cannot think for themselves - ever!

a long list of reasons the wall is ludicrous, my edited version of the top three, use it on the morons:

1. Walls don’t work. Illegal immigrants have tunneled underneath and/or erected ramps up and down walls to simply drive over them. People find a way. When East Germany erected its wall, it created a military zone, staffed by booted, machine-gun carrying guards ready to shoot to kill. Yet thousands managed to make it to West Germany anyway. More to the point, do we really want to model ourselves after communist East Germany?

2. Most illegal immigrants are “overstayers.” They come to the US legally — for vacations, business, to study, etc. — and then STAY past their visas. By 2012, overstayers accounted for 58% (THE MAJORITY!) of all unauthorized immigrants. And it's increasingly the method of choice, by 2014 66% of illegals were overstayers.
A wall is meaningless here!

3. Walls have little impact on drugs being brought in to the US. According to the DEA, almost all drugs come in through legal points of entry, hidden in secret containers and/or among legit goods in tractor-trailers. A wall will have little to no impact on the influx of drugs into our country.

It shall prove very useful if and when he chooses to further engage.

And let's not forget about all the undocumented immigrants working at trump resorts and golf courses who were provided fake documentation by their managers.

yet we are keeping it wide open up north and most of the 'illegals' fly in. Not to mention folks can tunnel under and climb over. They have no argument because each point they make can easily be shot down.

is that a bullet point from faux snooze along with the pics of President Obamas', Speaker Pelosi and a few other jabs at walls at their homes? Directing the to PolitaFact does no good with these folks.

I guess great minds think alike!

Donald said Obama has a 10ft wall around his house (a lie).

Time for a 10ft wall around Trump Tower... Security of course.

This isn't about building a wall, it's building the lie. The first brick in the lie is that Mexico will pay for it. Trump lied. Mexico is not paying for it, directly or indirectly. The second brick in the lie is that this action will do anything for border security. It will not. Just like the Great Wall did not keep out invaders, the Maginot Line did not protect France from invasion and "Wall Street" did not prevent the British from occupying Manhattan (sensing a theme here?) this wall or steel fence or beaded curtain will do nothing for border security. It's a simpleton's response to a complex problem. Trump and the CONservatives have tried to weaponize all of these lies for political purposes.

They're the ones who commit 99.9% if the crime in this country. It's a stupid analogy, anyway. All one has to do is ask these clowns if they only have locks on the doors on one side of their house, because that's essentially what Trump's stupid-ass wall is. The biggest group of "illegals" are actually Canadians (and others) who overstayed their visas. In reality, that idiotic analogy amounts to putting locks on your front door to protect yourself from the people across the street, while you invite the people behind you through your lock-free back door for dinner, and have no problem with the fact that they're still in your home a week later.

The first job I had resulted in me moving into a town of 400 people, since it was midway between where I was going to work and where my wife drove for her job.
The first person I talked to was the electric company guy who came to turn on the power in the house we were renting. A good general question to ask to get some idea of what kind of community this was: "Do people here lock their doors during the day?"
He said, "Oh yeah, you better. Some of the old folks will just wander in and sit down and you won't be able to get rid of them for hours."

I didn't have too much concern after that.

being worried about illegals and terrorists coming across the border. There are just bad and desperate people in our world, of all types, and it makes sense to protect myself.

They switched to Facebook comments and most of our local asshole population disappeared since I already had them blocked on FB.

If it's so damned important, why do only a handful of people care enough to contribute? And if that handful are truly concerned, why are they not contributing everything they own? Ask him how much he personally has given.

and said he had contributed as much as he possibly could to the GoFundMe.

I told him, atta boy! Give more! (sarcastically, of course).

and over time bury them as a strange historical event. No compassion, no compromise, no diplomacy. Just put them in the past. History will be kind to us for having done so.

One of Donald's major foreign policy points is that other countries are not paying their way and America is paying too much.

This wall is Mexico's obligation according to Trump.

Why does he want to saddle the American taxpayer for his wall that is Mexico's obligation?

Thanks!

If you get glory, smile for me.
If you get criticized, smile for me.

If you make money from it, send me half.

There's a GoFundMe account for TrumpWall so he can bypass all the Libtards and buy the wall himself. And--here's the really good news--get a receipt, send it to:
Vicente Fox
c/o That Fucking Wall
Mexico
and he will be reimbursed with interest.

How to Build Trump’s Wall - Privatize It

Republicans have often found a way to tax people surreptitiously by privatizing many public works projects to corporations rather than have gov’t pay for it. A fee/toll is a tax under another name.

The corporations/investors are granted a multi-year license with a guaranteed profit.

This could also be done with Trump’s Wall with Mexico.

Corporations/investors front the money to build it and they will be paid by Mexico.

It gives republicans a chance to save the gov’t money by investing in it and show their confidence in Trump’s word that Mexico will pay for it .

No gov’t backed bonds.

No cost to the gov’t,,, no need for taxes,,, profit for the patriotic investors who believe in Trump.

Win win all around.

Even Trump can show his patriotism and shrewd business savvy by investing in it.

They come from fear.

I know I don't want a fucking dime of my tax money going toward this abomination. Do you?

Why bother trying to reason with idiots and knuckleheads?

So he's not willing to pay a single dime of his own money but he sure is more than willing to use OUR tax dollars for something the majority of us do not want.

I get the same crap as you. I present the facts,often with links, and I am vilified for it. I hit back without name calling and remaining on the topic. It gets the MAGATS all the time. People read comments and can tell who is being reasonable and who are being the assholes.

When I have been out and about, people who know me tell me to stand my ground and keep commenting. I have another letter to the Editor that I hope gets printed. I am watching out for it.

This door fence thing exposes them more as mindless followers more than anything.

Good job.

Let's get this place hammering these a'holes

Nobody wants open borders, that’s a straw man. The issue should be why he needs that wall now and at tax payer expense. (IMO we don’t need that wall, a futile endeavor and ocological disaster, ever. But they don’t care about facts.)
