happened during Obama's term. So, if illegal crossings are down 45%, why do we need
a wall?

(2,064 posts)If you want to stop illegal immigration, fine the daylights out of the companies and individuals that hire them.
Republicans talk tough on immigration but dont want businesses to be penalized for using undocumented workers.
Hence, they spew a bunch of useless rhetoric and some of the poor people who moved here to make a living get arrested.
Then they complain about the problem of undocumented workers and take no practical steps to address it, because restaurants and other businesses that need cheap labor depend on these workers.

(25,816 posts)I have had my land here for nearly 40 years.
In the old days I would see many "illegals", sometimes trekking
through my property, asking for water, work or advice,
A few times a week you would see 8 or 10 guys sitting on the side
of the road, handcuffed with plastic, waiting for the Border Patrol
van to pick them up. In recent years, I haven't seen it.
