Ladies and gentlemen, do you support the government funding "the wall" and actively enforcing immigration laws?

Lmfao the wall isn’t gonna do shit. You really wanna play a contest of how deep people can dig tunnels? Not to mention 50% of illegal immigration is from over extended visas, not some random people hopping a fence. The only thing a stupid ass wall is gonna do is exasperate foreign relations with Mexico and get laughed out of every summit/un conference

@Insomniac100 you have your statistics wrong, buddy. Only 42% are overstayed visas. The rest would originate from other means meaning the majority are crossing over. Not necessarily just on the Mexican side. And no, the wall will stop some, perhaps not all but that's why we need to enforce our immigration laws more strict.

@xRedx That figure is from 2014. Current figures seem to suggest that visa overstays are more than 50%.
Google it.

@walabby "Seem to suggest"
I'm not going by assumptions/suggestions. I'm going by the facts present today. In any case, 50/50 is still a high percentage, wouldn't you agree?

@xRedx I used that terminology because the figures are imprecise. You look for yourself.

@xRedx There is a case for a wall, but would a wall be worth the money that it would cost? What about half the border that consists of a river? Is the wall going to go down the middle of the river or is the USA going to fence itself off a major water supply?

@walabby If you're worried about the expenses of it, worry about the 116 billion illegal immigrants are costing the taxpayers. Now that's a real problem.

@xRedx To please the goddamndemocrats I say give Mexico $20 billion and have them build the wall. The Mexicans get jobs, and we get a wall. Everybody wins!

@xRedx That's a rubbery figure too. Just enforce the laws regarding hiring illegal labor and there'll be no reason for them to come. Also, there will be zero unemployment in the USA because Americans will have to do all the shit jobs currently being done by illegals.

@walabby And I have a bridge I want to sell you.

@walabby Americans won't do most of those jobs, walabby. It would be a disaster.

@SW-User Our entire agricultural sector would be wiped out bwahaha.

@QuixoticSoul But I feel much better about myself if I can look down on a whole class of people. Facts be damned!

@SW-User That’s what it’s all about really.

@QuixoticSoul Yeah, that is all Mexicans are good for, in your opinion.
