when this country was founded, and a few yrs after somebody used to care. but no more...greed and self-interest trumps everything now. over human rights. over humane rights like healthcare. i could go on but i won't.. chris hitchens last words were..."capitalism...downfall"
Hey small fries, You don't have to be a Christian nation to be attacked by Islam. Do some research on early American experience with Barbary coast Islamic pirates.
To your point. Nearly all those illegal immigrants came here legally and overstayed their visas. A wall would cost a lot, look bad, make us look bad in the eyes of the world, wreck the view for all those U.S. ranchers near the border, and be only minimally more effective, if that, compared to the present means of border patrol. Many countries come down very hard on employers of illegals making it it risky to employ them. Not the U.S. however. In the U.S., if an employer gets caught, which seems somewhat rare, there is a fine and a slap on the wrist. Ask Howard Industries in Ellisville Mississippi, how effective the fine is. They are the world's largest transformer manufacturer (I think) and have been caught twice already. Isn't it true that the Republicans have been the primary stumbling block to instituting effective control via employers? The Obama administration greatly stepped up deportations, I imagine the Republican, Chicken Processors are going to howl about that! On the other hand, we don't really need Mexico to pay for Trumps wall that's amazingly got 10 feet higher before it is even built.. (But why stop there, why not just announce that it is already 50 feet higher. Oh, OK. I get it. Trump doesn't want to seem unreasonable . If we just got Trump's company to build the wall, the cost would be limited to the cost of hiring a few lawyers, because Trump would just lie and tweet that his contractors "did a bad job", and then refuse to pay them. He has proven to be an expert at weaseling his way out of financial obligations. Why not use his "talents"?
Why? His talents have always been enriching himself, not you. Thats why. Don't you understand the narcissists mindset? I DO because I AM ONE. (recovered almost) They don't give a shit about you lol. They don't appreciate ANYTHING except the their SELF. I pegged this guy a week after he was in the news. HE DOES NOT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ANYTHING BUT HIM. Not YOU. Not America. NOT the Planet. get this thru your thick skull. on contrary, Obama did care. and does..did he make mistakes...yes...but he did it for right reasons..he learns from his mistakes.
He's Atilla the Hun.. "Not enough that I win, everyone else must lose". That's not MY America. My America is Win-Win. Not everyone wins but everyone gets an equal chance..that's my America
I don't even recognize the America that I know. Tolerance. Diversity. Empathy. This country was built on "illegal" immigration, your relatives were probably immigrated from Europe right (unless your a true American Indian ya, and Capitalism. Go for the gold. But everyone gets a fair shake. regardless of skin, ethnicity, spirituality...you get a fair shake in MY America
