We have two choices and two choices only. One, station troops on the border, build a giant wall, close all border crossings, impose financial sanctions on mexico and initiate military strikes against cartel assets. Two, legalize all drugs and make them cheap and available. Each option will work but each carries enormous costs.
Legalizing drugs will do nothing to stop the flow of illegals. Reducing that flow is simple and doesn't require troops or giant walls. Simply remove all benefits and assistance for illegals. No jobs, no education, no medical, no to everything. I'll pay more for my BLT, so what. Some wages in some industries may need to be improved to offset the needed pay increases to employ American citizens. Corporate Leaders might have to suffer the indignity of sailing on a 70 foot yacht rather than a 125 as a result of that horror, so we'll be hard pressed to convince them to make that sacrifice. And then the dems suffer the disappearance of the never ending we must save the world issue on the campaign trial so they won't give up on that, and there's your answer as to why this will never, ever, be fully resolved. But hey, we get cheap BLT's, the left keeps their voting block and the titans of industry keep on sailing in luxury.
Again, your response to my “Democrats tapping into people’s sense of justice for political gain” post is weak. Seems to me you don’t have a real counter to it. But I’ll give it some time before declaring the central idea behind the post as passing Bugenhagen’s scrutiny. As far as fear goes, were you absent after the 2016 US elections where Hollywood Stars and some prominent members of the media were fear mongering? Did you miss their phrases such as “I never been so afraid for my country”? I believe Snoop Dog looked for a home in Canada in protest of the US election results, but most of the other artists who stated they would leave the US if Trump won did not follow through. I wonder why. It was the fear for one’s country that got Trump elected in the first place. That, a well run campaign, and some help from Hillary. You know it’s true. Obama worked for half of America and the half he did not represent became galvanized in their desire for a change of party control. In the time from the 2016 elections to now, what did the Democrats accomplish? I mean other than 2 impeachment attempts, ANTIFA violence, Smollett, Ford, vandalism of history, speech suppression, etc? If Democrats and the media are like this when the Democrats are not in full political control, what would they be like if or when they are? Now that is something to be scared about.
The courts have ruled that to be unconstitutional. It's obviously absurd but that is what we have to deal with. I was actually addressing the problem with the cartels, not illegal immigration but they are certianly linked.
I think you were absent for Barrack the literal antichrist was going to declare sharia law part of fear mongering while refusing to relinquish the presidency and a hundred other things. Well maximumpossiblescarecrow, just watch out for lighted matches. I could be the shiny guy since I nearly didn't have a heart a month back.
So.. seems the families have moved out so that has the kids safely out of the way. That had to be done. Now it is Trump's move. Seems fair he should commit something since his bumbling resulted in troops protecting the area being pulled away and these people dying. Unintended consequences do seem to follow him everywhere. What masterful tactical genius are we about to see.
“You’ve done nothing the God of biomechanics wouldn’t let you into heaven for” - Roy to Dr. Terrell, in the movie Bladerunner. Not bad memory for the 10 plus years since I saw this movie, eh? Seriously, if you take care of yourself and keep your blood sugar within reasonable limits you could reach Trump’s age, maybe more! I hope a lot more. After all, who else other than yourself still talks politics, at least politics of a sort, to me? Keep your blood oxygen up, because I’m going to ask you to directly challenge the things I’ve said in earlier posts if you can. Fair is fair, I deliver my handcrafted, beautifully written prose, my intricate and nuanced reasoning befit a legend in his own mind, personally and caringly delivered to you. You should reciprocate.
Perhaps your subconscious understands that your little junk brain is particularly susceptible to false memories. Tyrell not Terrel. Why does the human brain create false memories? https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-24286258 Your exceptionally error prone mind creates a false history.
