Yes indeed it’s called America, where EVERY single one of us is descended from illegal immigration and look what our ancestors did to the true original citizens of this continent. Trump is an idiot for thinking a big cement wall is the answer to our immigration issues and while I’m not saying there isn’t an issue, but that solution makes no sense. Ask any experienced military leader if a solid line of sight blocking wall makes any sense, I’m pretty sure everyone would respond no. We have so much better technology available to surveil and react to issues at the border and FYI how do you think all the owners of the land we would have to take to get it built are going to feel.

But as you know 100% true, no denying it, immigration is what built this country and sadly for native Americans; it's what cost them almost everything.

it was stupid and wrong...

I bet the native americans wish they'd had a big wall to defend and if you think what happened to the native americans.. where a bunch of people from foreign lands just wandered in and decided to stay...shouldn't you be 100% against illegal immigration?

Boy that was a lame attempt to defend a statement you know to be true, throwing sh*t against the WALL to see if it sticks

ILLEGAL!!!! immigration issues....for crying out loud


for centuries, when someone did not want others coming on to their property without their permission...they have built walls....we have a serious problem with people crossing our southern border without our permission....what exactly do you propose to stop it?

Put the money into surveillance technology and people (jobs) and get away from a big fat political statement. Not one person on this board is arguing against tighter security and common sense immigration reform; but a giant solid wall is just not good use of our tax dollars. Hey anyone factor in the money required to maintain it and oh yeah you better get better at detecting tunnels and oh yeah; there are coastlines by the thousands and people do own boats.
