I am left leaning. But I see no problem with Trump's idea of wall. What the hell is Dems problem if he only wants to stop "illegal immigration". Am I missing something?
It won't work, and it's a symbol of his xenophobia and incitement of hatred.
How is a wall a symbol of xenophobia? It's not there to stop legal immigrants. It's the left that is getting riled up about it and festering hate. If my neighbor wants to put a lock on his door to stop some kids from entering his house without permission, I won't say he hates kids. I'm a liberal immigrant, and I don't think Trump is doing anything wrong with immigration policies.
Agreed! I'm an immigrant too. Legal!
Why are you so defensive OP? Why do you have to say that you are left leaning? You lost your credibility the moment you put that.
Coz, however fucked up he is as a person and a moron to ignore climate change. This seems to be something he wants for the people that elected him to be safe
If he wanted safety, he'd put proper controls on guns. Or, you know... Implement universal healthcare.
A. Why not just resolve it like adults? Instead of taking Govt. hostages? B. If you say yes to his tantrum now, he wins and Dems loose. C. We have million other things to solve. D. Why not a comprehensive immigration reform, let people come in legally, even for small jobs and make sure they go back. E. Why the fuck H1b never go back and we do not say anything! A foreign worker should be here just temporarily, and than go the fuck back from where they came from. F. If we want only highly skilled and educated people, we should have comprehensive immigration reform. G. Only South Americans are the issue here??!!
I’m very very right leaning but this buffoon has made a mockery of the most serious office in the country.
Abstract words mean sh**
Immigration policy is one thing that we can have an intelligent debate about, the wall is just an absurd idea that we shouldn't waste our thought or our money on.
D. He is POTUS not POTWW ( president of the whole world) he has to lookout for his people
Assuming the wall works, it stops more that just illegal immigration. It stops asylum seekers as well, since they need to get into the country first to ask for asylum (despite what trumpers want you to believe, that is not illegal). More likely, though, the wall will be ineffective, as people will just go over, under, around, or through it. And it's a gigantic waste of money that we could be spending elsewhere to shore up our crumbling infrastructure.
So you allow illegal immegration just to support asylum seekers? You are a poor design decision maker.
Asylum seekers can turn up to border posts.
I like what you said and tend to hold the same viewpoint. Too many people fall into the generic belief of everything Trump does or tries to do is terrible because "it is Trump", instead of actually trying to discuss it like normal people.
True.
Yeah, I see your point So even the Dems are politicizing a crisis.
This. Democrats always wanted a wall until Trump mentioned it. But now the wall has become a symbol for Trump, so it must be opposed. They dig themselves into a hole by opposing it earlier when Trump brought it up.
It costs >5billion you moron
You spend a way lot on other policies you imbecile
That are actually important fuckboy
