It also resonates strongly in the families effected by our well know drug epidemic and those who have suffered serious crimes and even deaths of family members due to illegal aliens. Yet, those people really don't matter either. Yet again, the opinions lay strongly in many cities, big and small, and the police officers and mayors who try to keep it safe.
It's a stupid, stupid wall. No terrorists could possibly cross from Mexico? Therefore Dallas doesn't need security at football games and El Paso should be the new home of the Boston marathon so we can all prove having control of our borders is ridiculous.
9-11 was just a conspiracy theory and the Islam motivated attacks in Ft. Hood, Chattanooga, Orlando, New York etc. Was simply fabricated stories by the same media who anymore shape the news instead of reporting it. As Obama says, "taking in Syrian refugees is the right thing to do!"
Trust me! The wall is stupid and our new POTUS is insane for being concerned. We love everyone big guy, "we got this!" Well, until it's my family and me who is affected. Then and only then will I hold you accountable and ask, "Why didn't you care about the American people? Why didn't you build a wall to at least try and improve the safety of my family? Their death is on your hands!"
Wait a minute. Maybe the wall ain't so stupid after all?
Harley, illegal aliens aren't the reason why my home's real estate value still hasn't recovered to the same level I paid in 2005. Illegal aliens aren't the reason why the last two administrations gave billions of dollars to banks that ripped us off. Illegal aliens aren't the reason why my children's job outlook is worse than our generation's when were their age. Illegal aliens aren't the reason why health insurance is unaffordable to most unless you have employer sponsored health insurance. Illegal aliens aren't the reason why middle class wages have stagnated and executive wages have skyrocketed. Illegal aliens aren't the reason jobs are sent overseas, factories are built overseas, and foreign workers with work visas replace US workers in jobs within our own borders. The list goes on and on my friend. Illegal aliens are a scapegoat. Don't get me wrong, illegal aliens shouldn't be here illegally. But, they aren't the root of our problems and building a wall between us and Mexico won't solve the middle class' economic problems. I would wager most illegal aliens are doing jobs Americans don't want to do anyway because they don't pay a living wage.
