Hundreds of abducted children were identified as being used by illegal immigrants to pose as families in 2018
Hundreds of abducted children were identified as being used by illegal immigrants to pose as families in 2018 so I don’t have a problem with separating children from adults until those relationships can be verified. If you think those facilities are concentration camps then you need to visit what remains of Auschwitz for perspective. As for what completing the barrier solves, the gaps in the existing barrier are exploited by predatory smugglers to bring people in here, rob them, and leave them to die. Hundreds of such corpses are found in the Sonora desert every year. The gaps need to be closed and if people want to climb a ladder they can and would rather do that with San Diego on the other side than wander through a gaping hole to be murdered in the middle of nowhere or otherwise perish trying to navigate a desert.
Try 40 million
That's an interesting sentence because a couple of weeks ago there were reports that Trump's golf course hired illegals and possibly supplied them with phony papers.
Which is why they are valuable assets and commodities. And the industries that we rely on every day and the politicians that accept their donations realize this.If they did not come to the US illegally they would not be in what you consider "servitude". So what your saying is most illegals are of poor skill set and are only suited for manual labor.
A problem? Sure. A pressing problem worth shutting the government down? Not even remotely.
Your solution for the illegal immigration is...…………………….?
does your source include all indo Chinese allowed here on a temporary basis?Not by the source I used. What is your source?

I agree. Having retired from the feds over 14 years ago I do not like employees being used as political pawns. So Trump and Congress need to quit this childish behavior and get down to work.

Nope....
You claimed "hundreds of abducted children". Your source claims 46 last year, 191 this year, none were abducted.
My source says “Two years later, children are indeed being kidnapped or borrowed by illegal immigrants trying to pose as families, according to Homeland Security numbers, which show the U.S. is on pace for more than 400 such attempts this year. That would be a staggering 900 percent increase over 2017’s total.”
“Homeland Security recorded 191 cases of children having to be separated because of fraudulent family claims during the first five months of fiscal year 2018. That already eclipses the 46 cases reported for all of 2017. While some of the cases involve abductions, other cases involve children whose parents knowingly lend them to friends looking to pose as a family. Homeland Security is tight-lipped about individual cases but has publicly acknowledged the problem. “We’ve had many cases where children have been trafficked by people who weren’t their parents,” Thomas D. Homan, the acting chief at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, told Congress on Tuesday.”
What changed in 2018 that allowed DHS to identify a 900% increase in kidnapped children and otherwise unrelated kids “borrowed,” i.e. sold for use as catch and release bait?
I think NBC wrote that article before the speech.https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/me...office-address-was-wasted-opportunity-n956601
First Read is your briefing from "Meet the Press" and the NBC Political Unit on the day's most important political stories and why they matter.
WASHINGTON — Heading into Trump's speech last night, we were scratching our heads about what exactly the president would do with the bully pulpit.
Would he announce a national emergency at the border — and simultaneously call for an end to the shutdown — to give himself leverage on the wall? Express support or compassion for federal workers worried about their paychecks? Offer new information or a new pitch to reassure skeptical Republicans that he’s right to stay the course?
================================================
Trump blew this chance by just parroting crap he's spouted for the last 5 years. Government statistics prove that there is no immigration crisis on our southern border but Trump & his stooges keep insisting there is with no evidence.
Maybe. If so then heads should role if it can be proven.
Do you consider the 11 to 12 million illegals in the US a problem?
It'll only be a crisis if they start voting Republican. See how fast a wall goes up if THAT happens!
Yep.. But my point is in many cases the 'businesses' supply the illegals with phony papers and Id's..
It'll only be a crisis if they start voting Republican. See how fast a wall goes up if THAT happens!
So, no abductions.
