Thread for obviously newsworthy stuff

When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have a lot of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people - a national embarrassment

[Aeson]

Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door! - a nation to be proud of

The wall is a symbolic gesture... kinda the anti Statue of Liberty. Give me your poor ... vs They’re rapists. It won’t change much about immigration on its own. There are already physical barriers in many locations.

But building THE WALL would be a national statement that Trumps racism and xenophobia is institutionalized.

To be fair many people who support border security are not motivated by some mythic racial animus, as many liberals claim, but really are upset about the illegality, rampant criminality, the flow of drugs, and the human trafficking. All told, it would be good to get a handle on all of that. Obama was all about deporting criminals but ignoring those who did not commit additional crimes after illegally entering but now Dems literally want to protect felons from deportation as they think it will get them votes. This about lack of a moral compass by Dems outrages many, many people.

Aside from the cost of the wall (including effectiveness, feasibility, etc), why are people against it? Does it screw the environment or have social impacts? I don’t understand why people are so exercised over it. If it is just cost, take it out the military budget. It’s big enough.

I cringe just thinking someone posted that. That simply must be a parady account. The name suggests so.

nope. It's real.

It is rather slow. Congress collectively decided Trump was an imbecile and went home plus it is the Sunday before Xmad so not much to report.

I guess the last week's news about his guilt in collusion was so bad he had to try to change the headlines some how even if it was completely stupid.
