Who needs border security, its just migratory workers, right?

I don't have any land or property and neither do you or anyone else that lives in America. We are all renters here. Find out the hard way by not paying your property taxes on the house and land that is completely paid off.



I don't either. Every party is the same, just different mascot.

If I have no property, how did I steal it?

You didnt. Wait, how old are you? It's safe to assume you aren't several hundred years old, correct?

If I have no property, how did I steal it?

You have property as long or until you try to exercise your property rights to said property. Then the local pd will contrive a way to point guns at you possibly shooting and killing you over said property that is yours until you try to use said property.

Just ask Kirk he will explain it.

 

[Mark 1911]

No administration can "clean up" the border. We need people who work and Mexico needs the remittances. Remittances from the USA are a pillar of Mexico's economy. Illegal immigrant labor is a pillar of the economy of the USA, especially vote rich California and Texas.

The violence and corruption is just the offal of this arrangement.

Have been meaning to come back to this. I understand there are economic factors on both sides of the border that feed the illegal immigration problem, and there are many difficult issues associated with the economic realities that aren't going to be resolved overnight, maybe not for many years. The violence is a major problem, but not the only one.

One of the things that really bothers me is when Americans living near the Mexican border get caught in the crossfire in the process of going about their daily routine. There was an incident in 2010 where an American couple was jet skiing on Falcon Lake on the Texas Mexico border, the husband was shot and killed and the wife escaped by heading back to shore. Ranchers in Arizona and Texas have been in confronted by drug traffickers on their own land and often live in fear of serious threats. National Parks on the Mexican border are unsafe to the point where they have been closed to visitors, or visitors are not allowed to explore the parks unless part of an organized tour escorted by rangers from the park service. One park considered especially dangerous due to illegal border crossings and drug smuggling is the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in Arizona (south of Ajo). All of this seems inexcusable to me. Why can't we treat these drug smugglers the same as pirates are treated on the high seas? Seems like we should at least be able to enjoy our own National Parks without this kind of criminal threat. Maybe we can't solve the whole illegal immigration problem, but we should at least be able to secure our National Parks and make an effort to eradicate the criminal elements from our border lands.
