To the OP, you're talking like a wall doesn't already exist. A wall along the Mexico border already exists for hundreds of miles. Trumps proposal tries to complete the wall that Bush jr. started. And controversy from the public comes from how Trump communicated his proposal and "the why" he used to claim that Mexicans are providing negative impact on society.

I think this is a colossal waste of money. I'm not for illegal immigration but it's clear that illegal immigrants aren't stealing the jobs that voters are concerned about. They're filling the jobs that people don't want to do. I wonder how many former factory workers that voted for Trump will be willing to wash dishes and clean hotel rooms if/when illegal immigrants are forced out?

The wall won't prevent terrorism either.

You mean that bricklayers, concrete crews, stone masons, sheetrock crews, painters, lawn maintenance....Americans don't want that work? They wanted it until illegal Mexicans that did not pay taxes pulled these entire trades and a hundred others out of reach of the honest American.

Please stop with the broad generalizations. They don't further understanding of an issue.

The illegal criminal aliens have not only taken over industries with very good jobs, because their criminal employers found it was cheaper to give them low wages and no benefits, then the government intentionally didn't enforce our immigration laws for a couple of decades.

They have also been bringing in a lot of drug resident diseases that we didn't have here.
Killing citizens with their diseases.
Would you like drug resistant TB with your fries or your produce?

Thats not even including all of the hardened criminals and yes terrorist that are coming in over our southern border, from all over the world.

The wall will be built, our border patrol will finally be allowed to do their jobs, and all of these illegal criminals need to be deported.

I don't care where you are from, if you snuck in, or overstayed a visa.
It's time for you to take your ass home where you belong.

The politicians on capital hill have been for amnesty for a long time, so yes it will be a fight.
We will replace all of them also if we need to.

A wall, just like a door is just part of our border security.

Someone can break into your home also, that doesn't mean you don't close and lock the door as a deterrent and to give you time to grab your gun.
Or call the police if you want to be a victim.

It's all a process.

It is the criminal governments of the U.S. owned by the corporations that have promoted the presence of not only illegal but legal immigrants as well. All for their own profit and at the expense of it`s citizens.
