Just a quick google search also tells me that most illegals the come in each year are the result of Visa overstays and not coming across the Southern border. I mean damn, this wall just becomes a worse and worse idea. With all of Donnie's failed business ventures, bankruptcies and fraud, it sounds more and more like his idea.

He probably has. I am a one issue voter and my issue is immigration. I support Trump because he was the only one who pledged to do anything about it. I think it is the most important issue the country faces, and it impacts all the other important issues. It is hard to think of a major issue for me without it being touched by immigration.
Was Hiliary Clinton going to address immigration? It doesn't look like anyone is going to address immigration. I think Trump will lose his battle and won't get his wall. I think Democrats are for immigration because it brings more Democrats. Is it good for America? Is it good for the working class? I don't see any evidence that they care. Many now claim that a wall or any other physical barrier is immoral.
I want a wall, I want e-verify, and I want to enforce existing laws. I would like to see the resurgence of working class Americans, and that includes Mexican Americans. If you are an immigration voter like me, Donald J Trump is the only game in town. I think he will fail. I think nothing will get done. It is the status quo. Too many powerful interests are profiting at the expense of the American working class.
It is a tragedy.RIP Brian Dargin McCormick

A racist used to be someone that hated other peoples. Now a racist is someone that radical liberals don't like. You can claim you are not a white supremacist, but the SPLC will decide that for you. And if I reference the Center for Immigration Studies, I am "referencing White supremacists", meaning that I am probably one too.
If they don't like an argument, it is racist. Then they don't have to deal with inconvenient facts that are hard to dispute, like the systematic degradation of the American working class. Who wants to argue for that? But if you can call someone a racist, well then that settles it. No need to think or confront difficult concepts like costs and benefits, who gets paid and who bears the brunt of the pain. It is much cleaner. "I am virtuous, my opponents are bad people. I don't have to consider their arguments"
If you want solutions you need everyone to come to the table and assume good faith.RIP Brian Dargin McCormick

I can't disagree that he is and was your best shot at reform, but it all seems pretty insincere to me. There was the troops to the border stunt right at the midterm election. A wall whose budget and specifications about size and funding keep getting softer. He honestly benefits from the wall not being built as much as anyone and not just because his properties have hired and faked documents for undocumented immigrants. It could get him elected again if it doesn't go through and he gets to base another campaign around it. He just needs people with your views to think he's given it his all and is on your side.

Well like you said, what choice do I really have. He is the best shot. I don't see anything getting done.
And Republicans had the House and Senate, and they weren't about to do anything. They are all useless.RIP Brian Dargin McCormick
