Another report on the efforts to contain and deport the illegals amongst us.

We had more than enough money for the wall ...... before Obola gave it all to Iran.

But but The Donald has shouted for months "Mexico is going to pay for it ??"

So with 2,000 miles of southern border that's 10.56 million linear ft. Yes we have more than enough illegals to completely block the border 24/7.

Or it may be cheaper to hire all 11.4 million illegals to form a human wall, at least they'd be closer to home when they took vacation,

The only way the wall will work is if Trump could get all 11.4 million illegals to build the wall and the day of the final cement pour he could trick them into picking up their checks on the south side of it. Then as usual, announce he had to file bankruptcy.

Now what has happened ? I thought The Donald's big campaign pledge was " We're gonna build a wall and Mexico is going to pay for it" Yeah..Sounds good don't it?? Well what the heck happened today ?? We talked about the wall and did not talk about who's going to pay for it? Reckon Donald's turning into just another blowhard politician ? (and was'nt his tone of voice sweet at his news conference ?)

There is an old axiom but a good one trust but verify and the numbers can be verified. Proverbs you mention lying as an issue I'm curious who do you plan to vote for this cycle? I won't deny the fact that the Obama administration has lied. I won't deny the fact that Hillary Clinton has lied. Nor will I ignore the fact that Donald Trumps entire persona and nearly every word out of his mouth is a lie. Will you?

Trust = death but to blame every thing on Obama is pure stupidity. You re not even facing the reality of the situation. The fault is your's. You blindly follow and one with a simple slogan and a simple fix.

Considering how much the Obola administration lies, I wouldn't trust any number of deportations.

Ain't that just like the liberal left, insisting that their interpretation, and only their interpretation, of unknown quantities should be accepted.

These figures come from a wide range of groups on both sides of the issue with track records of getting it as close to right as possible. Typically within 100 to 200k.

Did anyone know there are several areas along the southern border that Border Patrol are not allowed. Wonder why?

They would like us to believe that o'bummer is catching and deporting all the illegals that sneak through, in a net kinda way.

Their simple math may be correct but they're still subtracting apples from oranges.

Sorry prov but you seemed to miss the point completely. Walls would not stop someone from crossing the boarder about the only way a wall might be effective is if for some reason they came across raided a village and then attempted to go back hauling all the loot. This is how walls have worked out in the past.


The fence you speak of is a poor example for multiple reasons not the least of which is scale.


And conrad I know the right wing tends to fail at basic math so let me help you out here. 2.5 million illegal entry's minus 2.5 million deportations equals zero. This is not a hard concept to understand while yes we still have a back log in the 10 to 14 million range of people already here the net increase in illegal immigrants while Obama has been in office is a number approaching zero. These are ball park figures the final number might be a slight gain or a slight drop that's one of the key issues with undocumented immigration we lack solid numbers.

Y'all are forgetting the border fence at the Israeli-Syrian border works very well.

As someone pointed out, the fence may not stop illegals, but it will slow them down enough for the border patrol to effectively do it's job.

BTW, we could get rid of the illegals without building a wall. Simply catch and deport them to Uganda, South Sudan, Somalia, or other hole in the ground where the life expectancy is measured in hours. Once we started that, there would be a mass exodus of illegals back across the border.

"President Obama has mass deported vast numbers of people -- the most ever, and it's never reported. I think people are going to find that I have not only the best policies, but I will have the biggest heart of anybody," said Trump in an interview withBloomberg.
