The basis for so much resistence to Trump’s Wall stems, in part, from touchy-feely mosquitoes who flit from cause to cause trying to convince everyone that their global village is the only way to go. The vast majority of Americans disagree with that media-promoted view, but are powerless to discredit it even when they think they are electing politicians who will stand firm against such a misleading utopian promise.
Because elected officials have failed American voters on defending this country’s sovereignty so many times in the past, a substantial number of private sector voters have joined the growing throng of disillusioned Americans who have turned their backs television news, and on all politics for reasons of their own. If the causes for disillusionment continues to increase in number, the day is not far off when only those people living on tax dollars will bother to vote —— and they will always vote their wallets. “It is tax revenues, Stupid!”
Parenthetically, the worst generation was populated by perverts and drug addicts. That did not stop the worst generation from telling the best generation that everyone on the planet had to join hands once a day and belt out a couple of choruses of I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.
Anyone who did not sing along was quickly branded as a meanspirited isolationist. For example: The village bleeding hearts claimed that securing national borders against illegal immigration had nothing to do with territorial sovereignty —— it was nothing more than isolationism at its worst. The thing that scared them the most was the government stopping illegal immigration and, at the same time, shutting down entitlements. Of course, that turn of events would cut into their oh-so-compassionate protest activities because then they would have to strap on a leaf blower five days a week to make ends meet —— leaving them little time to save the world.
More than 25 million illegal alien in this country do not want the wall. Democrats want no borders so more illegal aliens can come in and vote for Democrats.
President Trump wants the wall for the wrong reason.
Trump can build his wall as wide as the Missouri and as high as the Empire State Building. That will not stop illegal aliens from climbing through, over, under, and around it. In short: No wall is stronger than free stuff.
Building —— or preventing —— a wall is media misdirection designed to take the public’s attention off everything that is needed more than a wall:
1. Repeal every open-borders law starting with this one:

2. Repeal every law that blocks immediate deportation.
3. Stop lawyers from getting tax dollars to pay all of those appeals illegal alien file after they are caught.
4. Make employers who hire illegals pay every cost associated with capture and deportation.
5. Confiscate real property owned by illegal aliens.
6. Pass a constitutional law against birthright citizenship for illegal aliens.
7. Stop chain migration in every instance.
8. Do the same thing President Eisenhower did.
This is what Socialists fear more than they fear a wall that is easily breached:
During the 1950s, however, this "Good Old Boy" system changed under Eisenhower – if only for about 10 years.
In 1954, Ike appointed retired Gen. Joseph "Jumpin' Joe" Swing, a former West Point classmate and veteran of the 101st Airborne, as the new INS commissioner.
Influential politicians, including Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson (D) of Texas and Sen. Pat McCarran (D) of Nevada, favored open borders, and were dead set against strong border enforcement, Brownell said. But General Swing's close connections to the president shielded him – and the Border Patrol – from meddling by powerful political and corporate interests:
NOTE: President Trump is stuck with Nutso and Upchuck:
One of Swing's first decisive acts was to transfer certain entrenched immigration officials out of the border area to other regions of the country where their political connections with people such as Senator Johnson would have no effect.
Then on June 17, 1954, what was called "Operation Wetback" began. Because political resistance was lower in California and Arizona, the roundup of aliens began there. Some 750 agents swept northward through agricultural areas with a goal of 1,000 apprehensions a day. By the end of July, over 50,000 aliens were caught in the two states. Another 488,000, fearing arrest, had fled the country.
By mid-July, the crackdown extended northward into Utah, Nevada, and Idaho, and eastward to Texas.
By September, 80,000 had been taken into custody in Texas, and an estimated 500,000 to 700,000 illegals had left the Lone Star State voluntarily.
Unlike today, Mexicans caught in the roundup were not simply released at the border, where they could easily reenter the US. To discourage their return, Swing arranged for buses and trains to take many aliens deep within Mexico before being set free.
Tens of thousands more were put aboard two hired ships, the Emancipation and the Mercurio. The ships ferried the aliens from Port Isabel, Texas, to Vera Cruz, Mexico, more than 500 miles south.

There are now said to be 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens in the US. Of the Mexicans who live here, an estimated 85 percent are here illegally.
One day in 1954, Border Patrol agent Walt Edwards picked up a newspaper in Big Spring, Texas, and saw some startling news. The government was launching an all-out drive to oust illegal aliens from the United States.
The orders came straight from the top, where the new president, Dwight Eisenhower, had put a former West Point classmate, Gen. Joseph Swing, in charge of immigration enforcement.
General Swing's fast-moving campaign soon secured America's borders – an accomplishment no other president has since equaled. Illegal migration had dropped 95 percent by the late 1950s.
Several retired Border Patrol agents who took part in the 1950s effort, including Mr. Edwards, say much of what Swing did could be repeated today.
"Some say we cannot send 12 million illegals now in the United States back where they came from. Of course we can!" Edwards says.
Donald Coppock, who headed the Patrol from 1960 to 1973, says that if Swing and Ike were still running immigration enforcement, "they'd be on top of this in a minute."
William Chambers, another '50s veteran, agrees. "They could do a pretty good job" sealing the border.
Edwards says: "When we start enforcing the law, these various businesses are, on their own, going to replace their [illegal] workforce with a legal workforce."
While Congress debates building a fence on the border, these veterans say other actions should have higher priority.
1. End the current practice of taking captured Mexican aliens to the border and releasing them. Instead, deport them deep into Mexico, where return to the US would be more costly.
2. Crack down hard on employers who hire illegals. Without jobs, the aliens won't come.
3. End "catch and release" for non-Mexican aliens. It is common for illegal migrants not from Mexico to be set free after their arrest if they promise to appear later before a judge. Few show up.
The Patrol veterans say enforcement could also be aided by a legalized guest- worker program that permits Mexicans to register in their country for temporary jobs in the US. Eisenhower's team ran such a program. It permitted up to 400,000 Mexicans a year to enter the US for various agriculture jobs that lasted for 12 to 52 weeks.

You’re not to bright Ned. The opposition to Trumps granfallon is that it would be a huge waste of money as 1. No such wall in all of human history has ever, let me emphasize that, EVER, worked and #2. That’s not where the majority of illegal immigrants are crossing.
Now if you want to build a monument to ignorance, stupidity and bigotry be my guest but get your fucking hands out of my pocket Ned.
