With Border Crossings at a Trickle, Why Build a Mexico Wall?

Well I would imagine it would be to curtail people from crossing the border illegally and to also stop the Importation of narcotics. Sounds like a reasonable reason to me. Whether it is prudent and fiscally appropriate could certainly be debated. But I don’t think the moral argument has a leg to stand on.

Some sources cite Canada smuggles more illegal and regulated drugs than Mexico. Canada has nearly twice the border than Mexico. A lot of which is largely unmonitored.
But when the U.S. Department of Homeland Security published its first report last year on people who overstayed their legally permitted time in the country, Canadians led all other nationalities.

Northern aliens: Around 100,000 Canadians live under the radar in U.S. as illegal immigrants

If illegals from Canada have had a comparatively easy ride to date, that may be about to change with Trump’s determination to crack down on unauthorized immigrants

So what are you saying exactly. By the wording of the article it shows Trump may be cracking down on these Canadians illegally staying in the US. Typically speaking Canadians don’t cross the border illegally they just drive in at manned border crossings. As Canadians do not need a visa to enter the states. I can certainly understand why the US would want to remove these illegals also.

What we’re talking about here is a wall to prevent people from jumping the border.

A wall will not stop the desperate.

Certainly not all of them. Where there is a will there will alsways be away. It would certainly inhibit most crossings however which would give border control a much greater chance of detecting and stopping crossing that do happen.
 
I Agree more resources should go to the Northern border as well. Not sure what this has to do with the southern border though. Are you saying that because the Northern border is a sieve the US should let the southern border be just as porous.

Sounds a bit like Whataboutism if you ask me!
 
No I think he is saying it is easer to create the boogyman if the skin color is a more then a few shades darker…

This is pure speculation and race-baiting at it’s finest. Just because people do not agree with your vision of how border security should work does not indicate racism.

Here is a good post DVDJS gave us in the thread “A quick look at Micheal Cohen” POST #2

Before risking involvement in yet another character assassination, not matter how absurdly flimsy the grounds, perhaps it would be good to reflect on this paragraph from Gaudete et Exsultate
115. Christians too can be caught up in networks of verbal violence through the internet and the various forums of digital communication. Even in Catholic media, limits can be overstepped, defamation and slander can become commonplace, and all ethical standards and respect for the good name of others can be abandoned. The result is a dangerous dichotomy, since things can be said there that would be unacceptable in public discourse, and people look to compensate for their own discontent by lashing out at others. It is striking that at times, in claiming to uphold the other commandments, they completely ignore the eighth, which forbids bearing false witness or lying, and ruthlessly vilify others. Here we see how the unguarded tongue, set on fire by hell, sets all things ablaze (cf. Jas 3:6).”
 
Hey I am not the one creating boogiemen’s…
All you have to do is listen to DJT remark’s and speech’s on the matter…

I’m not talking about the boogieman I’m talking about the race-baiting. But I’m sure you know that!
 
Race baiting? What should I know? I just observe. And listen what comes out of Donald’s mouth.
 
And attribute racism to it when he makes no claims to back you up. Very Catholic of you.
 
Ok, Again listen to what has come out of Donald’s mouth the last few years. And I do not recall calling anyone racist.

Your subjective opinion!
No one said you called someone racist. I said you were race-baiting.

Ok silly me. Again listen to what has come out of Trumps mouth the last few years. I does not take a rocket scientist to infer. I call it boogyman politics…It really makes me sick… If you want to call calling out such nonsense as race baiting (It is the Catholic in me) then so be it…

Yes silly you… What you hear from Trump is colored by your vision of truth. I really can’t think of anything that Trump said that was truly racist. I’m sure you will talk about this $%!^hole remark which isn’t racist unless you have an issue with the one who said it. Go ahead and give me one of his racist statements and I will give you another way you can look at what he is saying. That implies a subjective reality. A truly racist statement can not be misconstrued. You can not prove his racism by what he says so you throw out innuendo and race-baiting. A poor excuse for an argument if you want my 2 cents!

I gotta go. Have a great day!

I don’t know I don’t speak like this. Again Listen to what he say’s. We can start with the Muslim ban. How about all those woman and children coming up from South America last week… He is really good at creating boogymen. I do not name call or try to belittle anyone I speak to. And I do not have such an agenda that I would try to bait someone in any way. Heck I have no agenda at all. But anyway back to the subject in hand. Folks crossing the southern border has been going down over the last 17 or so years. I do not think the border wall would do much good other then the feel good thing. If you want to call folk race baiter then go ahead. But that could be no more then a deflection.
