Why the hell not? We put our troops in other countries to fight for their boarders. Actually, ours should come first.

Ok, then pass a federal law making e-verify mandatory for any private/public employment within the US. Enforce it by penalizing employers that do not utilize it.

Done. Borders protected, money saved, 'Mericuh.

But muh privacy

We should, instead of doing something sound that would help lots of different things from banking to voting, build a 800 foot high wall to keep the Others out

Really, more immigration and employment laws to be ignored. Yeah, that will fix it.lol. True, the wall could be expensive. No wall will be much much more expensive. Well, except for those who hire illegals.

You're not expecting a cogent response here are you?

The obliviousness is annoying. The repeated failure of walls throughout history is a f**k cliche it's so well known. Anytime a wall is featured in a work of fiction it's merely a predictable a plot device that you know from the beginning will eventually come down. "Build bridges not walls" is practically a corporate motivational poster for HR offices. The whole world knows from an entire history of experience that this is f**k stupid.

Damn.

the Theodosian Walls of Constantinople never actually failed. it was incompetence in leaving a postern gate open

but in another way that shows the vulnerability. complete vigilance, or else the saracen horde will get you

or i guess don't build gates
