A wall would be a waste of money if the goal were to keep people from crossing the United States’ southern border. It might be more effective to use that money to make the immigration system more orderly.
Especially because a majority of illegal immigrants came to the country legally, and then stayed after their green card expired. And immigrants who come illegally often do so by hiding in vehicles that are going through legal border checks. You just can't check every car throughly, the lines are already ridiculous.
@thekaylapup the statistic you are thinking of is overstayed visas, which accounts for forty ... one percent I believe. Regardless, it is below half meaning that it is not the majority.
Yeah, if you read up on the actual plans, the idea was to use the financing to repair and replace outdated sections of the border wall that is ALREADY there, as well as hire more staff and upgrade the tech that border security uses.
Any objections to that, I wonder?
I mean personally, unless there are ways to allow ecological interactions to occur, in against the wall simply because of the inhibition of said interactions and how it could effect environments. If Provided says for such interactions I would be all for the wall. If I want to keep people off my property, I put up a fence and have a guard dog. Same principle.
While I agree with the comparison about climate changes, the comparison about the doctors say we need gun control is not comparable. A better comparison would be if the police departments or the gun store owners say we need more regulations. A better comparison would be to say the doctors say we need vaccines. Doctors are not experts in the field of gun ownership. And with that, doctors don’t deal with the legality of guns, only with the wounds caused by them.
"Doctors say we need gun control." Yeah, being highly educated in repairing human anatomy makes you an expert in social dynamics and consequences of laws. Have you noticed that gun violence in the US has INCREASED as we've added more and stricter gun laws?
And the main thing I've noticed that the "do something about climate change" people do is to drive all around protesting climate change, and worship people who fly to other countries to discuss and "raise awareness" of climate change. They don't actually do,anything that actually DOES improve the climate change situation, just propose laws restricting what others can do and add taxes to things that they don't think will affect themselves.
