New Year Resolutions




I was never a big fan of a wall along the southern border. Resisting illegal immigration is far more than that (a wall alone does not do it). I would like to see a system of tracking of visa overstay implemented (since visa overstay is arguably as much as a problem as people crossing the Mexican border). We also need to punish employers who hire illegals (with fines sufficiently high enough to make hiring illegals not worth it).

Still, a physical barrier was a central point of Candidate Trump's promises that got him elected and he needs to at least start delivering on it. Pick the most vulnerable crossed points and start building a wall (don't wait for Pelosi and Schumer and the bitter backstabbing GOPe certainly won't help).

    Already been done. Crossings at SD, Tucson, Yuma, and El Paso down > 90%.

    1. That is true. But it has not stopped over all numbers getting in. More, please! Again, this is a multi front thing, the wall is just a part of it (an important part).

  2. A barrier (wall) will hinder or prevent crossings (invasions) at that point; the longer the wall the more difficult to enter.

    1. True, although there will be topographical challenge (in addition to budgetary and legal ones). I am all for building barriers if they work. I am also for addressing visa overstays (arguably as big as a problem as the southern border) and going after employers who hire illegals (which is the bait that draws them in).
