1. If US politiicians really wanted undocumented immigration to end, they'd start locking up the Americans who hire them. The demand for undocumented labor would swiftly end. They never talk about that. There's a giant "Help Wanted" sign at our border and it's not coming down.

12. They are never going to build a wall across thousands of miles of desert, rivers and forests, private and commercial property - while forcing Americans to give up their land under eminent domain law. Wall fans are arguing for big govt to seize private American property.

13. The wall will not stop undocumented immigration. Ladders and shovels are things that will still exist. As will America's giant "Help Wanted" sign.

14. People who support stealing migrant children are legally still allowed to call themselves Christian. They are not.

15. America has crumbling roads, bridges, a deliberately underfunded public school system, neglected infrastructure and an underfunded VA. A guy who's hired undocumented workers wants $5billion to keep undocumented workers from coming here for work. It's all a scam.

16. Trump promised his supporters that Mexico would pay for the wall. He promised you,
#MAGA. Many times. Now he literally wants you to pay for his own broken promise. (And the majority of 2016 voters rejected it, 74 million total (HR & 3rd parties) vs. DT's 62 million)Show this thread -
17. The majority of Americans still oppose the wall. They know it's expensive, bigoted, stupid and won't work. The majority of Americans don't hate America.

18. Undocumented immigration has dropped to a 12-year low. There is no 'crisis' and you have been lied to:https://www.cbsnews.com/news/undocumented-immigrants-in-united-states-drop-lowest-in-12-years-2018-11-28/ …

19. Trump did not pay federal taxes for years and committed tax fraud to avoid paying the taxes that you paid, which he now seeks to misuse. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/10/us/politics/donald-trump-taxes.html …https://www.vox.com/2018/10/3/17932216/donald-trumps-tax-returns …

20. Fear of "illegals" is a scam designed to get alarmed FOX news viewers to vote for an agenda centered on more tax cuts for very rich people, who don't need more tax cuts.

Bonus #21. If you don't like our drug war refugees from Central American drug war violence seeking asylum in America then stop supporting the drug war.

Bonus #22. It's Jesus' birthday so here's his take. From Matthew 25, which modern RW evangelicals seriously need to read: "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,"

What's wrong with "open borders"? I think this should be part of the wider conversation around what kind of immigration system we should have. It should be an option.
-
Nothing if you believe in one global governmental structure. Everything if you bleed Red White and Blue. More Americans lean towards the latter
-
Okay then, if you don't have "open borders" it means there are restrictions on who can come into the country. So, to whom would you say 'no'? What happens if they come anyway?
-
Exactly. Go through the process. Apply for a Visa or Asylum. Get a green card. ICE regulates. If you somehow elude this process you shouldn’t be here.
-
It seems to me that most Americans don't agree with you. That's why
@realDonaldTrump is having such a hard time getting a wall, Republicans couldn't pass immigration reform when they controlled Congress and many Democrats want to disband ICE. -
The issue at hand is a fundamental discontent across the political spectrum with the very rules that govern US immigration. Not fit for purpose. Why not use this moment to rethink what Americans DO want and need 4 immigration.

I wrote an op-ed for the Oklahoman that you might find of interest:https://newsok.com/article/3763391/oklahoman-in-london-us-needs-a-fresh-approach-to-immigration …

It’s a very thoughtful article with good ideas. You are obviously much closer to this issue than i am. I just think that whatever strategy we settle on must discourage folks from entering illegally.
