Trump is a !

Trump has always linked illegal immigration to the southern border and the need for a wall. On Thursday �" the 13th day of a government shutdown tied to the issue �" Mr. Trump tweeted a video called "crisis on the border" depicting rioting migrants trying to rush into the country.

But only one-third of the recent undocumented immigrant population came to the United States through the southern border, according to the Center for Migration Studies (CMS), a New York City-based think tank. The rest came legally on work visas and stayed after they expired, according to CMS.




In other words, a wall wouldn't have kept them out.

I don’t disagree Joseph, my point to shoulda was if an immigrant wants to come over here they should go the other process of becoming legal, we need better borders here. The sad part is what happened in California, here we had an illegal immigrant who murdered a man who came here legally. How can you argue about funding for a wall or fence or something to fix the issue we have.

2/3 of illegal immigrants are here on over stayed visas.

The majority are Canadian.

How will a wall at the southern border help this?

Racist smokescreen.

Shoulda, should we just let illegals come in or should they do it legally ? There has been more than one person loose their life over an illegal immigrant but that’s ok not all are bad and they just want a better life. Do I think all immigrants are bad no but do I think they should go through the process to become legal yes.


they may not all be bad but they all broke the law and should be deported.

The very idea of a border wall between the United States and Mexico is a foolish endeavor, designed to gin up anti-immigrant fear and resentment.

And while a lot of Trump supporters want a wall because they blame immigrants for their economic hardships, the They actually boost economies through spending and paying taxes. Plus immigrants generally take on jobs that citizen workers don't want to fill.

But the other fact a wall ignores is that most undocumented immigrants do not cross the southern border. Rather, they overstay their visas after arriving at American airports.

So, instead of building a pointless wall, we could spend money on the things that are actually hurting all Americans -- opioid addiction, stagnating wages, crumbling roads, failing public schools and lack of access to affordable health care.

Even if you think it's a good idea because you've bought into generations of anti-immigrant scapegoating, wasn't Mexico going to pay for it? Wasn't that Trump's promise? "Mexico will pay for the wall!" Trump tweeted on September 1, 2016.

But Trump broke that promise when he realized that he had not been elected emperor of the universe and couldn't force a foreign government to pay for much of anything, let alone a wasteful wall. So, he tried to get the United States taxpayers to foot the bill. And even with his own party in control of both houses of Congress for two years, he has to yet to get the money he wants to build the wall.

Which means now Trump supporters are pouring donations into a viral GoFundMe campaign that aims to raise at least $1 billion of the $5 billion price tag Trump has set.

And Trump's various rollbacks of environmental health and safety have had little to no effect on expanding industry -- but are expected to pollute air and water, especially in communities where Trump voters live. Trump's deregulation of the coal industry alone, centered in rural America, is expected to lead to as many as 1,400 more heart and lung disease deaths per year.

Trump campaigned on fearmongering and empty promises. And that's how he's governing as president. When will his voters realize they're the ones, over and over again, paying the price?

South Carolina needs to quit saturating our market with their cheap, illegal, more fun fireworks! How's NC Fireworks supposed to compete with that?

Hangs, I actually thought of you when I posted about South Carolina. Unfortunately you're on the wrong side of the border, there is nothing I can do for you now buddy, Godspeed!

Still haven't even hit the 18 million mark?! Looks like it's time for another rally cry ...

The bad news is, South Carolina's part of the wall has more names than North Carolina's section. Lazy South Carolina already takes advantage of the fruits of our labor by laying claim to both the "Carolina" Panthers and the "Carolina" Hurricanes!

Do you have pride in your home state of North Carolina?! Open your wallets and let that love shine through by getting more names on North Carolina's section of the wall!!

Folks, for the next 30 minutes, we are prepared to offer you, not only the chance to get your name on the wall, with the limited edition Pittsburgh Steelers ballcap with 14k Gold MAGA thread on back .... But also for the low low price of a 50k donation, we'll also remove a South Carolinians name from their section of the wall, thus making your name count double for the North Carolina total!!

We can't let South Carolina show us North Carolinians up!! You know you want the wall, so put your money where your mouth is and let's prove to South Carolina once and for all, who is on top!!!
