It's weird how they are convinced a wall, a low-tech thing, will stop human beings

But yet what about things to stop the issue of people shooting up churches and schools?

Databases - Don't do it. Don't bother.
Restricting firearms when it comes to domestic abusers and people with serious cognitive issues - Don't do it. Don't bother.
Studying gun violence as a disease - Don't do it. Don't bother.
Better mental health - Don't do it. Don't bother.
Getting guns off the streets - Don't do it. Don't bother.

It's weird how we keep hearing we can't do anything about shootings because the shooter will just find a way... Well, people south of the border, they have the same brains we do, they are just as intelligent as us with the same problem solving and cognitive abilities as us in the United States.

They'll just find a way around it, right?

Or... dare we say it, do they not believe that people south of us aren't as human as us?

Curiously, it seems the Mexicans have been better at finding these tunnels than we have.

creative. Just because the deplorables are stopped by a wall doesn't mean the rest of us would be.

And we have Net Zero immigration from Mexico already.

He's got to appease his idiot base and it's going to be a millstone around the republicans' neck and sink them all.

Let alone local police and state cops.
When does it end? How about just ONE of those redundant agencies do their job the way corporate America demands the rank and file floor person at Amazon or Chevy or anywhere else, do theirs. Seems a lot of folks, are being awfully lazy, and yet we should throw more money at it? Naw.

and pay off as many of his ill gotten debts as he can. Wouldn't be surprised if the mob who he contracts with, would build in tunnels themselves. Then charge the underground drugs and people as they come through. Nothing is beyond them at this point. NOTHING.
