A person says he will build wall against immigration from Mexico..And people vote for him???...I mean even baboons are having fits of lethal laughters

Voting a person who says that he will build a wall like Great Wall of China..( which was built in 206 B.C. ) is akin to voting a medieval king with zero idea about modern Economy..

Btw if you ever try to open textbooks...neither immigration nor trade has ever hurt any economy..nor it ever will...but no, you build your beloved walls..lols

It's not about immigration from Mexico but about illegal and unvetted immigration from anywhere.

US border policies have turned our southern border into a free-fire zone. I'm a frequent visitor to the border area and the new normal is fear and violence. What was once a steady stream of day-visitors back and forth has given way to fear of being caught in the crossfire. My American friends who live within inches of the Rio Grand no longer go into Mexico. Period. My Mexican friends who live in Mexico now travel with body guards.

Soluition? No .... but it's a great symbolic gesture at the moment :) There's a wall around the White House. Why? It doesn't mean that people one one side or the other or either good or bad. It simply helps control the traffic. But yea, there's much more to it ....

... like US trade policies that exploit 2nd and 3rd world workers. So the only way a US company can build an affordable TV is to move the factory to just across the border in Mexico and pay Mexicans dirt wages? Unemployed Americans collect more in unemployment benefits and food stamps than the Mexicans earn who actually build the TV sets. To a Mexican worker being exploited, sneaking across the border does indeed sound like moral justice.

... and the drug policies .... and .... and ... and ....
