So you're repeating what I said back to me
Taxes aren't shit.
The wall is just one minuscule aspect of it, yet you act that if we throw down the bricks everything will magically be saved
I don't fucking care aboht taxes.
You're wrong if you think this constitutional system will survive without extraconstitutional action.
America could deport every illegal and you'd still face the same abyss.
The wall, and the issue of immigration generally swamps taxes, regulations, the size of the government, the judiciary, gun rights, abortion, and every single other issue in politics combined.
You don’t care about The State extorting your income to line its pockets and subsidize millions of welfare leeches?
This is the issue that decides all other issues, period.
You don't care about the importation of welfare leeches to perpetuate that system and vote for the party who promotes it, allowing them rule forever?
It's fundamentally secondary to the issue of self preservation.
I DO. For the record, I wish we could enact a moratorium on all immigration. I realize that doing so would be political suicide, however
It is #1.
If the Republicans don't do it now, they never will.
We must curb immigration from third world hellholes, but building some wall isn’t going to fix that when we have an open door allowing them in
They aren't interested.
Building "some wall" will make deportation practically permanent and block re-entry
The Wall is a important cornerstone of Trump's entire agenda. It is the single most important piece to his voters.
It is the cornerstone.
It was the first thing he mentioned
You're a fucking nonce
You clearly don't get the significance of this issue
Immigration got Trump the nomination.
Immigration is an extremely significant issue, but a building project is not something that will make or break our country.
We have a hell of a lot more problems
Hell, we’re burning billions of dollars yearly to finance every third world hell hole under the sun
It will make or break our country. We cannot do anything if we do not close the leak in our boat.
And a Wall is a permanent fixture.
The wall funding would lead to significantly higher midterm turnout as well
This would be an example of the key agenda being passed by Congress, Trump voters will be incredibly happy that they're doing what they elected him for.
A wall won’t do that. It isn’t like thousands of illegal immigrants don’t climb over or dig under existing fencing and walls yearly
Are you stupid?
Do you even know how border walls work?
We need to actually deport everyone. Every last illegal, none of them should stay. I
These walls work.
And they ensure that deportations are permanent and block re-entry.
They can be helpful if they joined with other effective methods such as tight patrolling of the border, but throwing up a wall isn’t going to just fix our immigration issues magically
It is the largest part.
The most immediate effect is electorally, the symbolism of it is key.
It is permanent, as Lex said.
