1. Violent crime is at historic lows

Crime Remains at Historic Lows in America

2. Illegal immigrants commit fewer violent crimes than natural citizens

What statistics actually show about crime and immigration

3. Illegal border crossings are at record lows

Arrests For Illegal Border Crossings Hit 46-Year Low

Yet, we are to believe there is some great crisis at the border? What's going on?

It's simple. The best way to control people is to give them an enemy to hate. Allow them to pour that anger and frustration upon a common enemy.

In 1963, Rod Sterling wrote an excellent episode of the Twilight Zone about a young political activist who learned to use hate to motivate and control people from a shadowy figure.



Where will he go next? The answer is Washington D.C. in 2016.

Rod Sterling's monologue at the end of the episode is really worth hearing. The monologue and its transcript are below?

Where will he go next, this phantom from another time, this resurrected ghost of a previous nightmare – Chicago? Los Angeles? Miami, Florida? Vincennes, Indiana? Syracuse, New York? Anyplace, everyplace, where there’s hate, where there’s prejudice, where there’s bigotry. He’s alive. He’s alive so long as these evils exist. Remember that when he comes to your town. Remember it when you hear his voice speaking out through others. Remember it when you hear a name called, a minority attacked, any blind, unreasoning assault on a people or any human being. He’s alive because through these things we keep him alive



Does anyone deny that Trump is just giving the masses an enemy to hate to fulfill his own ambition?

Trying to make people migrate and enter the country properly is not about violent crime.

What's happening at the border is vast numbers of unskilled uneducated people that don't even speak the language here are entering and undercutting the lowest skilled citizens. Not only do they undercut the lowest skilled citizens they also create the need for bilingual lowest skilled citizens. And the lowest scum citizens are likely never going to be bilingual.

The border wall is a barrier and it will force people to go through the gates.

1: And...?

2. So what? All that says there are Americans who are criminals so there should be indifference about importing non Americans to be criminals.

3. Because security is being ramped up. Drive it down further. As far as no crisis, seems that Mexico is having problems.
 
Meh, Trump's wall is all about Trump not wanting to lose on his top campaign slogan. No need to put any more effort into figuring this out.

Looked at another way - it virtually guarantees the need for massive income redistribution (democratic socialism?).

Yup, because anger and hate work for the rubes. They have been living on a diet of talk radio hate for years, they won't listen to actual logic and reason, they need fear and hate and, by all means, make it real simplistic so that they can numbly nod their heads and say "hell yeah!".

His target demographic is really ignorant angry idiots....and those are not in short supply.

So if that's all it's about why in the hell are the Democrats shutting down government over it? I think that's all about not letting Trump fulfill on his promises.

Why should you care? You're Libertarian.

Do you have any evidence it will do this to the tune of justifying spending $5b? Because every day people are going over and under the existing walls. What's so special about this new wall?

yes as of yet there has been no scientific proof that a person can pass through wall without doing anything to it.

It will be in the way of people who don't procure passage through such tunnels. Right now there is nothing. Something is decidedly more than nothing.

Why have walls when they don't work. Next you will be outlawing wheels, roofs, and vaccinations.

Congratulations on typing out the most idiotic post of the year. It beat out the last post you typed and will almost certainly be dethroned by your next.

5 billion$ is something Pelosi and Schumer spend on luncheons. It is .01 of the federal budget, and it will pay for itself every year from here to eternity.

Had you actually put more effort in, you would know that the entire liberal objection to the wall is to stop him from fulfilling that campaign promise.
 
The obsession with building a wall is because it is supposedly the best way to stop the “invasion” going on at the border.

That is the term repeated over and over again: “invasion”

Coming from you.:lamo


Do you even understand irony?

Sounds reasonable to me. Why give him what he wants if it's a stupid monument to his stupid campaign?

With 22 million to 30 million illegals here already, how is it not an invasion?
 
Are all libertarians supposed to agree on all things all the time?

No, but immigration policy is a big one.

So what other Libertarian policies do you disagree with?
 
1: And...?

2. So what? All that says there are Americans who are criminals so there should be indifference about importing non Americans to be criminals.

3. Because security is being ramped up. Drive it down further. As far as no crisis, seems that Mexico is having problems.

1. And...there is no emergency.

2. So, there are criminals in every group. Pointing out that there are criminals in a group of people is not an argument for anything. You might as well say we should act because they have arms and legs. You're pointing out something common to all groups of humans and using it as a justification to act against them. That's irrational.

3. So, why don't we just keep doing what we've been doing given that it's working? Where is the emergency?
