As long as I can remember immigration has been a hot topic in US politics. I can not see how you will ever solve your immigration problems as long as all the southern countries below you remain poor. Maybe it would be better if we could somehow start to work with the governments of these countries to lift them out of poverty. Of course, this is not in the best interest of corporate America.

Even some moderate Republicans have advocated what's known as the "Marshall Plan" for central America. Attack the root of the reason why they want to migrate. Help the third world develop. NAFTA has done that with Mexico, but Central America has not seen a similar benefit I don't believe.

Makes sense to me. I've heard this idea from various sources for many years but not seen any movement that way.

I brought this up a while back. I considered the US "meddling" in south Americas affairs in order to bring them around but maybe it's just not possible.
Look at Haiti. You can throw as much money as you want at that country and it's still corrupt.
A whole lot needs to change before they turn good.

Agreed, got to get rid of corruption in those countries. Not easily done, I can only image how much cartel money in Mexico is spent to bribe government officials.

I would think that any other country would be extremely wary of this idea, considering how badly America has managed to fuck over so many countries, like in the Middle East. I bet a lot of people in Central and South America are terrified of the idea of America meddling in their affairs, no matter how bad shit already is there. They have NO reason to trust America to do anything other than enrich the rich and enable dictators, really. What America should do is let other nations evolve on their own. Stick to just helpful trade agreements (that won't happen under Trump, but later). You CANNOT force any other country out of corruption or or force actual democracy on them or anything like that. People need to find their own way as far as I can tell.

I honestly don't know what it would take to make it work. Edward Abbey once suggested giving every immigrant from south of the border a can of beans and a rifle and send them home. I think he was talking metaphorically but those words cost him a lot of grief. But I'm just not sure the umpteenth revolution is going to make a difference. I think it has to be education, (including teaching birth control) and having organizations that assist in countries developing their own agriculture in order to move toward self-sufficiency.
And sharing cultures. That's a great way to help end the hate.

These need to be cut low enough to allow animal migration. Let's please not forget that one of the other horrors of the Fucking Wall is the disruption of animal migration.

Haiti is still corrupt because people keep throwing money at it.

The carbon emissions from constructing
Trump's proposed 1,000 miles of new border wall could top 7.8 million
metric tons, according to MIT Technology Review.
But if animals couldn't travel back and
forth between habitats and resources on either side of the border, many
species would face local extinction in the US.
The Stanford analysis showed that 346 species would lose access to half of their habitat because of a border wall.
Animal migration patterns — even those of birds — would be disrupted.
A wall would also make it harder for many animal species to adapt to climate change.
One of the greatest potential environmental
impacts of a border wall would be almost invisible at first: it would
lead species to become less resilient to stress.
Conservationists are particularly concerned about the future of the Mexican gray wolf.
A border wall would also change the flow of major rivers.
Depending on where and how a wall were erected — in the middle of a river, say — it could even act like a dam.
One example of such flooding was a 2008 disaster that happened along the US-Mexico border in Nogales, Arizona.
The border wall could have other impacts as well, like imperiling water-sharing agreements.

This topic has come up before. The US is not squeaky clean protecting young girls from drooling, perverted older men.
This (from your link) is horrific: Amin, now 29, said she was betrothed to her first cousin Tariq when she was just 8 and he was 21. Pretty f**king sick to view girls as items for trade or pawns for assisting men with their immigration objectives? If not useful to men... then nothing but burdens?

Disgusting to me. Would be surprised if Canada does as well.

Man, he is dumb as dog shit, every news outlet in the world has footage of you saying it daily.

In all my years of judging
I have never heard before

Of the full penalty of law

So this is what the proposed border wall will be made of. They said they cut through it with a saw.
It looks to me like a torch did it but a saw could definitely cut through this too.
