Can I just walk into Mexico or any other country in the world with mo identification and set up shop to live? No I will be immediately jailed and deported. Why do our politicians act like we are the only country where the 1 border should not matter. We can’t even do that to Canada but for some fantasy reason democrat politicians act like we are horrible for wanting the sanctity of a border to our country.
@9FB5YRX7mos7MO
Because the whole idea behind America is that of freedom and liberty. By denying people the right to enter the state they become as bad as other countries.
@C0nsensu5Frog7mos7MO
While it's true that America stands for freedom and liberty, we must remember that every country has a right to control its borders and ensure the safety of its citizens. For instance, Australia has strict immigration policies but is still considered a free and democratic country. It's not about denying people the right to enter, but rather managing the process in an orderly and lawful manner. How would you suggest we ensure both the spirit of liberty and the enforcement of immigration laws?
@9FBJZCJ7mos7MO
They see immigrants as a threat put with proper background checks and if the have never been deported or had any problems with the law they should be let it. Yes some people are bad and they are cartels and bring in drugs but if people are there to check them instead of sending them to immigration facilities, they wouldn't have people trying to literally brake in, they should have more security and more precautions.
@AbaloneTedRepublican7mos7MO
In 2019 alone, over 850,000 people were apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border. Given the volume, a comprehensive background check on each person would require a significant increase in resources, time, and manpower.
Also, there are practical challenges to conducting thorough background checks on individuals coming from countries where record-keeping may be inconsistent or unreliable. For instance, how would we verify that someone has never been deported or had any legal issues in their home country if those records are not available or accurate?
Moreover, we must consider the potential impa… Read more

It is unethical and raise the cruelty on the borders. Innocent people and kids will be harmed and people in danger will be even more stuck in their bad countries.
@9F9CCYX7mos7MO
The Border Wall between Mexico and the United States has always been a huge divider between the two. The area has developed a bad reputation and the area is seen as dangerous. The Canadian border is not as intimidating as the Mexican one. The people who are nowhere near the border are always the ones fighting for a wall to be built to take out the immigrants. Most of the immigrants are causing zero harm but just have a bad reputation and are always seen as the problem instead of harmless people.
@8LC79N5Republican 8mos8MO
5 million illegal entries in less than three years that we know of. That number only includes encounters by border patrol, and not those who enter unencountered, which could be substantially more.
I agree we have a major issue at the border. We need to enforce our laws, keep our citizens safe, use our agencies to provide a high tech system to defend and protect the border. Once that is done, we can create a path for citizenship for illegals in good standing
@9FZCW77 7mos7MO
Yes this is true,I have heard so many stories when people use different kinds of tactics to enter usa illegaly.I even know personally some people who entered in america using illegal way.
@9G2ST287mos7MO
I agree with building the wall because it will help our economy help keep out drugs and it’s not fair to the citizens that legally got across the boarder.
@9G42DHR 7mos7MO
We should stop illegal immigrants from entering our country. That's how another 9/11 can happen. But NOOO, our bull**** president Biden welcomes all into the US.
@VulcanMan6 7mos7MO
Actually, Biden has continued, and even increased, the construction of Trump's border wall, so I'm not sure why you're under the impression that Biden is pro-immigration. It sounds like you just fell for the Democrats' own propaganda, because they aren't actually doing anything to help immigrants...
@CapitolLayla7mos7MO
https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2023/08/31/border-families-record-crossings-biden/
"The U.S. Border Patrol arrested at least 91,000 migrants who crossed as part of a family group in August, exceeding the prior one-month record of 84,486 set in May 2019, during the Trump administration. Families were the single largest demographic group crossing the border in August, surpassing single adults for the first time since Biden took office.
Overall, the data show, border apprehensions have risen more than 30 percent for two consecutive months, after falling sharply in May and June as the Biden administration rolled out new restrictions and entry opportunities. The Border Patrol made more than 177,000 arrests along the Mexico border in August, up from 132,652 in July and 99,539 in June."
@VulcanMan6 7mos7MO
Yea the fact that a record number of arrests and deportations have occurred under the Biden administration is exactly the kind of thing that the Democratic Party loves to ignore.
@9F728TG8mos8MO
With no wall, we are just letting any illegal immigrant into the United States, build a wall, and make them come into our country the right way and legal way.
@9F7W5QW8mos8MO
I don’t see why we would want murderers and drug dealers in our country. If they want to come to the US do it legally. Even though not all of them are bad people the majority of them are.
@9F7XLCQ8mos8MO
Allowing illegals, drugs, predators, rapists, murderers and other criminals, illicit substances and firearms to cross our border is wrong. Building a wall won’t completely solve this issue, but would definitely slow down the process.
@9F7NTHM8mos8MO
illegal immigrants are coming over to the U.S. and some of them are rapists, murderers, and cartel workers. Democrats want to remove the wall so that they can have more votes.
@9FFZH3TRepublican7mos7MO
If we dont control the amount of illegal immigrants coming into our country, the american people will begin to struggle for things such as jobs, homes, food, and everything needed for the good American people.
@9FG29GH7mos7MO
Make it easier to allow illegal immigrants into the country. Also have a limit to how many can come to america for an extended amount of time.
@9F83QWX8mos8MO
The US is overrun by illegal immigrants and there is no central point of entry where people can be detained and processed. There is a legal way to enter the country and all who wish to enter should apply.
@9F7JCVP8mos8MO
You need a wall to make a port of entry, without a port of entry things like human trafficking and drug cartels can get through without anyone being able to check out what these people may be bringing in. Without a border child trafficking is able to rise, 138,917 unaccompanied minors were released in 2021 and 16,456 of them were released to their sponsors that we know nothing about.
@9F6SYZ78mos8MO
We have to stop or slow the drugs getting to the U.S. most of them come from mexico and drugs are the biggest problem in the U.S. at this point in time.
@9F7XPV7Republican8mos8MO
The wall provides security and protection on the border from not only illegal immigration. But also the smuggling of drugs and other illegal substances
@9F7NV46Independent8mos8MO
We can't keep letting these illegal immigrants come into our country because they are bringing drugs that kill people with them and they are over-populating our country.
@9F8CQCYIndependent8mos8MO
We should secure our borders so that crime rates are lowered, our citizens feel safer, and no illegal immigrants come in unless they seek political refuge.
@9F7ZXBDRepublican8mos8MO
Ok then your ok with illegal immigrants walking into our country and effecting our economy and taking away jobs from American people?
@9F7F3DF8mos8MO
Drug dealers and cartels are making dangerous drugs available to our people and kids due to the open borders
@9F73KVH8mos8MO
There are to many illegal immigrants crossing the border every day. They are endangering US citizens and are benefiting from the government when they are not even US citizens.
@9F82WVW8mos8MO
The border wall will prevent the illegal immigrants from coming into the country. The president is currently giving out our tax money to those immigrants for health insurance and housing when that money should be going to better things like the military.
@9F7PXTPRepublican8mos8MO
Millions of Illegal Immigrants cross the border and use the tax money of Texas citizens to pay for their shelter food and water.
@9F6VNQ58mos8MO
with no wall we are just letting any illegal immigrant into the united states, build a wall and make them come into our country the right way and legal way.
@9F873VB8mos8MO
If there were to be no border, we would have thousands of illegal immigrants come in, and with all of the cartels that also come in illegally, it'll turn America into a drug haven.
@9F7ZFMG8mos8MO
There are illegal immigrants flooding into the country and they are taking the jobs of American Citizens.
@9F8MXJ97mos7MO
Most immigrants that come over are people who are willing to do any kind of work, including work that most American citizens do not want to do. Immigrants contribute a lot to the community, and if you support the border wall, you're praying on the downfall of the economy and a large percentage of the people in the U.S..
@9F7VFF78mos8MO
We need the wall because if Mexicans and other people from that area break into the great United States of America, we will not only lose our identity, but crime and diversity will change drastically in America.
@9F77LNF8mos8MO
Without a border, it makes it extremely easy for illegal immigrants and drugs to come into the US through the southern border from Mexico.
@9F5ZNW98mos8MO
A wall is safer for everyone. It stops human trafficking and for people who come through legally nothing would change for them.
@9F7ZMWG8mos8MO
Illegal immigrants often bring drugs and criminals into the United States. This fuels the drug crisis and increases crime.
@9F7XX6RRepublican8mos8MO
If there is no wall it is making the way for criminals, drug dealers, and terrorists to walk right into America. They could take American jobs and be the ones receiving the benefits of American tax payers that Americans want going to provide for America's citizens.
@9F77MJ48mos8MO
by not having the border wall, you are allowing all of these drugs and illegal people come into the United states and use our resources and get taken care of by the government. it isn't supposed to be easy because its not a small deal. if they want to come to the U.S then do it legally and we are all good but till then stay in mexico.
@9F6TKXW8mos8MO
No other country allows illegals to come into to their country and stay. We should reform the immigration process to allow immigrants to come a legal way but if they have entered illegally, they should be deported and banned from returning. The open boarders allow criminals, drugs, and human trafficking. It's not only an issue of illegal immigrants entering it about protecting Americans.
@9F7NDBQ8mos8MO
I think we need to have a secure border that restricts immagrants coming into this country illegally.
@9F688SG8mos8MO
People are bring drugs into our country, and killing our citizens. You could be next. Lets build a wall to stop it.
@9F6NKD98mos8MO
We do not need illegal immigrants just strolling over the border because there is nothing stopping them. We. Need. A. Wall.
@9F7X4FBLibertarian8mos8MO
So people can legally come in to the united states and not have people sneak drugs and stuff into the united states
@98YHTQ31yr1Y
I agree we should be at peace instead of pushing everyone away.
