    Completely irrelevant to the issue of a wall.

    Yes, with the current congress it will not, but they have poked the bear and that is what they are afraid of, and tried desperately to stop… They know its coming.

    Both parties will change after this election, both parties have realized they are not being represented. Old Debbie “Mad Dog” Wasserman was just the first casualty.

    I'm confident that if Trump were to win.....IF he were to win, that he would do something. I just don't think it will be in the form that he has promised. But any effort is better than what we have right now.

    Who cares

    The US Border is porous,,,, period

    And honestly coming from a German who's country just opened the floodgates into all of europe, I really don't see you as qualified to discuss US Immigration Policy ..

    If by chance I am around in 40 years remind me to ask you how that worked out as I will probably not remember at 97 ....

    It is not so much the illegal immigration but what it brings with it. Drugs, Gang Violence, a large drain on resources, and now massive Democratic pandering.

    The Democrats have seen the illegal immigration as a potential, large pool of voters.

    Surprisingly, here in California the majority of the Hispanic community is anti-illegal immigration and pro “building the wall”, because they live here and see what it has brought.

    Like any ethnicity there are no clear voting block and there is no Hispanic Leader who speak for all, but you are not getting the whole picture from the media or reading a bias study.

    The demonstrators and many of the speakers at the DNC are illegal immigrants and of course they are the most vocal, or at least the ones the media chooses to put on camera.

    But guess what, they don’t get to vote… The more they wave the Mexican flag… the more they make Trump’s point…

    And as you well know Trump is not saying no immigration, legal immigration and filter just some of the problems out. If we do nothing, nothing will change.

    It is easy to solve the US’s problems from the other side of the world, but you might sing a different tune if you walked just, 2 blocks through some of US’s ghettos, in the middle of the night, unarmed.
    I can tell you for a fact, even here in LA, the local news does not even report shooting and deaths in the ghettos. They occur daily, in Compton alone 26 have died this year, 2 this weekend, hundreds of shooting and stabbings. Compton is experiencing a gang war between Illegal Alien gangs and Black gangs, over…drugs.

    But then, I don’t suppose Obama spends a lot of time in the ghettos either…

    Did you notice Michelle’s bullet proof vest, at the DNC?

    Personally I would think he would want to use that "Beautiful Mind" to solve the German problems first, rather than ours.

    Heck going out with the wife on New Years Eve in Germany is pretty dangerous from what the Media reports...

    No I don't need to link it all

    May I humbly suggest that you tell that, for example, Mr Romney? Or Mr Ryan? Or Mr Bush? Or...?

    Is that a question? If so, the answer is, you do, or else, why bother replying?

    Funnily enough, it is also porous in places where it has been built according to Trumpian specifications. Does that not make you question the feasibility of this idea just a tiny little bit?

    That, Glen, is a not a very nice thing to say, you know? It is almost as if someone said, "And honestly, Glen, coming from a country that willingly accepted inferior razors ground by apprentices, I really don't see you as qualified to discuss German razors." But no one would say such a thing, would they? Because it would be divisive, insulting, and stupid.

    Does the phrase "hominem unius libri timeo" mean anything to you? Because it should.

    That said, your reply translates into, "I do not believe what you say, despite it coming from a non-partisan source, but I demand that you take what has been regurgitated by the semi-official news outlet of White Power USA for granted."

    I am sorry, but I am not willing to do that. But I encourage you to read this: https://georgewbush-whitehouse.archi...s/immigration/. It might help you focus.
