drew you have a flowery idea of a bloody issue

[killeninicent]

how can they relate the US border walls to the Berlin wall i just don't understand it. they think they are the same but they are totally on the opposite sides. the people that were escaping from east German had every right cause Russia was staving shooting raping beating and draining the life of Europe.

[WestSkier11]

Build a wall in areas and put cameras every mile. Stop the drug war. And how about we slow down legal immigration? We can't house everybody.

[bwood21390]

Build a big bad wall AND open up immigration for people who want to peacefully work here. Nothing but good for the economy and for those individuals who want to work here, and nothing but bad for terrorists and smugglers.

Oh...and legalize pot so we can stop this drug war nonsense that finances corrupt politicians in Mexico and the cartels who murder, rape, and exploit desperate people as drug mules.

better yet for all those who are concerned about illicit drugs.. LEGALIZE the drugs. anytime something is prohibited a black market is instantly created for it. if it were legal you would destroy the black market that is fueling the smuggling. BTW the 9/11 "hijackers" came here legally, with visas.

[hoppinglark]

Why not do both? Open legal entry to all who are safe.

AND

Secure the border

That makes the most sense to me.

[BritishTexan]

The illegal "immigrants" make up a very high percentage of criminals. There are areas of Houston, Texas that are perfect examples of what illegals do to communities. The apartments and houses become trashed. The streets become no longer safe even during the day. There are drunks and prostitutes all over the place. I have seen it time and time again. If those who try to gain illegal entry into Texas die because of it, too bad, they knew the risk when they started out. No sympathy for criminals.

OPEN BORDERS!!!!

[killeninicent]

they had ever right to, they had no freedom, plus the KGB kidnapping whole family's and hanging them in the streets. i once know a fellow that was helping east Germans cross the wall he was a Czechoslovakian priest  the KGB found out and hung him in the main street of his city, they killed anyone that would go near the body or pray for him. plus Russia was wanting world conquest. that is something that Mexico cant even fathom about.

[j95lee]

There's no comparison between walls that separate north and south Korea and the us / mexican border. Our agents don't shoot innocent civilians on sight, and we welcome legal immigrants.

A sad and complex issue, but we drug lords rampaing in mexico and a few illegals committing crimes under the shadow, we do have to mind public safety. Immigration is a choice, not a right.
