Its kind of ridiculous watching one side lay blame almost solely on business and the other almost solely on the illegal immigrants. They are both committing crimes that that have an adverse effect on citizens.

Let's take that a step further and call out why they want a wall and strict immigration laws.

It's not to stop illegal immigration. They don't want that. It's to make it even more illegal and more difficult so they, conservatives and their wealthy business owner buddies, can hire terrified low-wage workers at cut rate prices.
Republican voters who actually believe a wall will stop a single illegal worker from being hired by a Republican business owner are morons.


You lack common sense.

Why would rich business owners, especially ones who benefit from illegal immigration want lowers rates of immigration? The opposite is true. Bring on as many as you can so i can pay construction workers 1/2 i'd have to pay an American. My cousin has a roofing business. Guy has felons workings for him because he can pay them 15/hour while a non-felon would expects 20+ for skilled roofing work. Having more felons available would be a net positive for him considering he can offer even less or be more selective if more want those jobs. Same concept.

Its astonishing how warped your sense of reality is. No wonder you have such idiotic deductions.

Nothing you said contradicts the bolded. They want more illegal immigrants, and they want the immigrants to be alienated so they can be easier to exploit. Ink said earlier in the thread he doesn't think the wall will reduce illegal immigration, but it will make society more hostile and therefore less likely to see them as sympathetic when they suffer exploitation or abuse.

Learn to read. I said the wall won’t stop a single illegal immigrant that a conservative wants to hire. It won’t lower shit. It just makes it easier to shake them down.

And yeah, conservatives also support tough on crime laws that create more felons that they can exploit for prison labor and low cost labor after release. You’re making my points for me you absolute fucking genius.

Wanting more illegal immigrants and being for building barriers to prevent more illegal immigrants when you directly benefit from them sounds nonsensical.

That's quite the logical reach. The barrier won't reduce illegal immigration but somehow shift opinion from sympathetic to hostile. Some next level synaptic connections you guys are making from thin air.

If the wall stops a single immigrant from being hired by a conservative I’ll give you a hundred bucks. You’re really fucking stupid if you think the purpose of the fence is to stop illegal immigration. I mean brain damaged fucking stupid.

I have yet to see any real evidence that a wall would be effective in our southern border. Most illegal immigration takes place in the form of overstayed green cards, and a wall is as easily breached as our current fence. That is unless you want some ridiculous 25 foot monstrosity that would cost trillions to maintain.... but that's not a reasonable expectation.

Meanwhile a monument to keeping brown people on the other side of the border would definitely help instill a cultural shift away from sympathies to immigrants.

At this point I thought Trump just wanted the wall to be built so that people say he delivered on his campaign promise

You want evidence that a dependent variable is dependent on the independent variable without actually implementing the independent variable. Peak scientist form on display.

Now apply the "I have yet to see any real evidence that" to your bolded. Am i doing this right?

A high enough wall would probably limit how easily people that are overweight, disabled, small kids, etc can cross. Again common sense, if you only had an iq above 80.

I'm not a proponent for the wall but walls have worked. The Great Wall of China, the Berlin Wall, etc. I don't expect the same effects but to expect that crossing rates would be higher or the same with some barrier is incredibly dumb.

It’s to make him feel better about his hands.
