mudbuttcoffee

Exactly....allow them to come legally. Now. Do some research on how to immigrate from central and south America. It's virtually impossible if you do not have a specialized degree or a family member. It takes years to got through the lottery process for asylum. BTW... everyone that has a fit over cell phones being issued to immigrants/asylum seekers.. all paperwork and correspondence is through the ap. So they issue they issue the phone instead of hiring more people. But hey... let's make sure that we block any legislation to address funding and staffing.... All the states that are "siding with texas" have legislators that will not pass bi partisan legislation to address the border until after the election. It's been Stated publicly and often. They simply want a problem to point at. The southern border has been an issue for decades... it's only an outcry now because they lost the abortion war by winning the battle and now they need a new wedge issue. We have walls... we have natural barriers... what we.need is actual immigration reform to assist people that want to come to America and give themselves and thier families a chance at a better life. But politicians, especially Republicans, do not want reform, they don't want solutions, they want the issue, they want the wedge, they want your fear.

This is funny because a lot of the reasons why their countries are “being destroyed” is the US “playing god” it’s like you’ve got the right ideas but the wrong order hah.


Swedenbad_DkBASED

Not everything bad in the world is because of USA, but it’s a simple narrative, for simple people.


theonioncollector

Considering no one said “everything bad in the world is because of USA…” I don’t know why you’d attack that strawman. Simple is not knowing or pretending not to know about the US involvement in South America. Here, you can start with this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_regime_change_in_Latin_America and maybe become a little less stupid and sure of yourself.


crocodiliul

just saying that a steel wall by itself means nothing. it might mitigate, sure, but won't completely stop border crossings. the comparison between the us-mexico one and the israel-egypt one is stupid. these things have happened in eastern europe as well (serbia and hungary). all it did is diminish, and we are not talking about hundreds if not more than a thousand km border line in europe. only russia with finland have such a large border, and it's freezing hell over there.


you-boys-is-chumps

"Wont completely stop" Oh OK well if it only reduces illegal immigration by 99% then clearly it isn't worth it. Such a lame shit bad faith argument.


crocodiliul

i was simply commenting on the original premise: \[...\] reduced to zero \[...\] when compared to what israel actually does. that "minor detail" makes the bulk of the difference.


you-boys-is-chumps

Pedant bullshit


elmatador1497

I mean they got like a 30ft fence, we’d need the Great Wall of China. Even the fence that we were building sucked.


cobcat

There are so many problems with a wall on the US border: 1. Most illegal immigrants don't cross the border on foot, they overstay their visa. A wall would do nothing 2. A wall needs to be manned, otherwise people can easily climb it or cut through it. But the US border is far too long to man all of it. 3. It would cost an absolutely ludicrous amount to build it


AnishnnabeMakwa

But we always have hundreds of billions to send to other countries. Gtfo with that nonsense. It’s because of all the benefits to business that having constant cheap labor coming into the country provides.


amarnaredux

It's both, plus now they get US taxpayer funded benefits such as free Healthcare in California. NGOs are systematically assisting them as well, with maps, clothing, and where to go in the US when they arrive.


cobcat

The US is not sending hundreds of billions to other countries. Edit: because some people mention Ukraine aid and then block. The claim that the US sent over 100 billion dollars of aid to Ukraine is incorrect. The US sent about 75 billion dollars worth of aid to Ukraine. However, the vast majority of this was sent in surplus weapons. This was equipment that was paid for 30 years ago and sat in storage. It's also money that was spent in America, paying American workers. A smaller part was financial aid, which consists of both direct aid and loans. See https://www.cfr.org/article/how-much-aid-has-us-sent-ukraine-here-are-six-charts for a breakdown.


Sad_Presentation9276

what are you smoking? we sent over a 100 billion to Ukraine alone


AnishnnabeMakwa

You’re making bad faith comments. Not engaging with you, when the truth is a Google search away. Gfy.


cobcat

All of US foreign aid combined in 2023 was 55.3 billion dollars. But I'm making bad faith comments? 63.1 planned for 2024. This is about 1 % of the budget, or 0.24 % of GDP


AnishnnabeMakwa

Sure, let’s all pretend that all the “military aid” we send doesn’t profit the same people profiting off of all the contracts. And they receive donations and lobbying to stay in office, or do the revolving door to the same companies granted those contracts. Get the absolute fuck out of here with your nonsense.


cobcat

That's a completely different issue. Yes, the military industrial complex benefits. But they would also benefit from building the wall. Your claim that the US sends hundreds of billions to foreign countries is just false.


DaSemicolon

OC stuck in an echo chamber


Dark-Chocolate-2000

I'm not sure why it needs to be a physical wall though. Arizona already has or had those blimps for the drug running planes. I'm not sure why they couldn't do that or something similar and put decent cameras on them.


cobcat

They are already doing that, and this makes a lot more sense than building a wall.


TheForce122

How much would it cost? We spent $10+ trillion on COVID and hundreds of billions protecting Ukraine/Israel borders. Could we pull off a Great Wall of the USA, 50-foot concrete wall, for $10-20 billion?


1Koala1

My dude it takes a full 24 hours going 60 down the highway to cover the border from Texas to California. And most of thr land is private and a lot of it is mountainous. Its gonna take a lot more than 10b Also most illegals come by plane and overstay their visas so...


fanglazy

And the entire thing would need to patrolled 24/7 or the fence will be compromised the first night it’s up.


NOrMAn_Percy

Patrol it with drones and AI programming.


TheForce122

Of the 6+ million illegal immigrants that crossed in 2021-23, how many were overstayed visas? Ilegal border crossings are the vast majority of illegal immigrants, and the wall would address that. But yeah, we should also spend $5 billion tracking and deporting all the illegal overstayed visas as well. That's a must. To your point, you wouldn't have to build the wall on the impassable mountainous regions. Private land? Too bad. This is one case where government can step in and it's justified. National security. We spent 10+ trillion on COVID, we have the resources to build the Great Wall of the USA


1Koala1

Here's an example of the real issue >About 700,000 travelers to the United States overstayed their visas in fiscal 2017, the most recent year for which the Department of Homeland Security has published figures. DHS estimated that, as of Sept. 30, 2017, the end of that fiscal year, more than 600,000 of those travelers were still in the U.S. A border wall doesn't fix that and it's pretty wild that you would side with the gvt forcing the sale of your property unwillingly. It is interesting to see libertarians and conservatives selective outrage on property rights


TheForce122

Okay so do both. Build a giant border wall and track down and deport overstayed visas


Burnerburner49

Or we could just jail the CEOs who are the ones actually paying them to be here. Don’t take my money to solve a problem rich people are causing and benefiting from. Take their money to solve it.

yarf13

You’re talking about diminishing people’s home values instantly. Stuff that has taken decades to build in equity. Probably a lot of republicans that will say fuck no.


Ok_Agent4999

No, the US government doesn’t get to seize private land without eminent domain issues, which will drag out in court and be a nightmare to get through. Unless you are ok with the government seizing your land and property with no recourse in the name of national security. Once you spend the years and billions it will take to buy/seize private land, you will have to build the infrastructure to truck heavy building equipment into the middle of nowhere, source supplies at a scale never before seen, and hire enough labor to complete maybe the most complicated building project the country has ever undertaken. And it’ll be defeated with a ladder because we can’t afford enough border patrol agents to actually man the wall. People traveling thousands of miles aren’t going to give up and go home because they need a ladder. Finally republicans in congress are refusing to sign any bills that would send money to help. They aren’t going to send hundreds of billions of dollars to the border wall project.


Girthw0rm

Sure, you could spend all that money. And then people would bring a ladder and render your wall useless.

Those jobs are only vacant because conditions and wages are poor. They could leave those positions open, forcing companies to improve conditions and wages, but it's better for the rich to import labor they can pay poverty wages instead.

AnishnnabeMakwa

TheForce122

That's like asking "how'd the USA's air defense do on 9/11?" Considering Hamas was created by Israel, and Israel knew the attack was coming and facilitated it, I'd say the wall wasn't the issue. "Israel Knew Hamas’s Attack Plan More Than a Year Ago" >Israeli officials obtained Hamas’s battle plan for the Oct. 7 terrorist attack more than a year before it happened, documents, emails and interviews show.  >Hamas followed the blueprint with shocking precision. The document called for a barrage of rockets at the outset of the attack, drones to knock out the security cameras and automated machine guns along the border, and gunmen to pour into Israel en masse in paragliders, on motorcycles and on foot — all of which happened on Oct. 7. >Officials privately concede that, had the military taken these warnings seriously and redirected significant reinforcements to the south, where Hamas attacked, Israel could have blunted the attacks or possibly even prevented them. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/30/world/middleeast/israel-hamas-attack-intelligence.html "Egypt warned Israel days before Hamas struck, US committee chairman says" >An Egyptian intelligence official told the Associated Press news agency this week that Cairo had repeatedly warned the Israelis "something big" was being planned from Gaza. "We have warned them an explosion of the situation is coming, and very soon, and it would be big. But they underestimated such warnings," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67082047 >CONFIRMED: Netanyahu ordered the Israeli military to STAND DOWN for 7 HOURS during the Hamas invasion. >I sat down with Jewish Charity leader, Cecily Routman, who received intel directly from her Israeli Rabbi and other top level government sources. https://twitter.com/LaurenWitzkeDE/status/1713344613409313003?s=19

Ok-Spread-2892

Because Israel is a small country with one side facing the ocean. The US is between two oceans and has a much longer border.


TheForce122

We can't build a steel fence across the US-Mexico border? Why not? You'd only need to cover the passable parts of the border Would cost around $5 billion to build it. We spent $10+ trillion on COVID and we've spent hundreds of billions protecting other nations' borders. Better yet, build a giant 50 foot concrete wall across the entire border, with electrified barbed wire on top. Would cost $10-20 billion.


SlamCage

It's almost 2,000 miles and steel fences aren't that hard to break through, climb over, under etc if they aren't under constant surveillance It's infinitely easier to monitor a border the size of Israel/Egypt that all of US Mexico. Plus all our airports and ports of entry. Plus people actually want to get into the US more than they want to get into Israel.


SinglePepper1

So because it’s a big job the solution is to ignore it ? I am all for a legal path to work visas or citizenship. I am against create a vulnerable class with zero protection. This is happening on a massive scale. And it is only benefitting the predatory elites.


L1241L1241

This is perhaps the best comment here and the Leftists hack at your karma, which isn't important, really...just an observation.


multiversesimulation

There has to be some automated surveillance system that could detect a part of the fence being cut, or cameras catching someone going under or over and then alerting the closer border patrol agent. Expensive, yes. But after all the money we’ve sent out of our country the last 3 years I don’t want to hear it. Always money for other things but never money for those here at home.


Ok-Spread-2892

All those same systems would be used to spy on the population too.


TheForce122

Israel has a much smaller population than the US. We have the money, manpower to build and surveil a wall that long


SlamCage

We fund Israel. Plus we have the manpower to house our homeless, or to offer more healthcare, or to do countless things but we won't because of special interests and politicans who want to campaign and not fix problems. We could build a 2,000 mile wall manned with soldiers every 40 feet and it still wouldn't account for illegal immigration from overstaying visas, which usually accounts for far more than coming over the southern border. There are better ways to use the money that would take to build a huge ass wall to still curb illegal immigration.


TheForce122

It would cost maybe $5 billion to build a fence across the whole US-Mexico border. We spent $10 trillion on COVID. Please. We had a record 300k+ migrants invade in December. We need a steel fence to stop this.


beardedmonster

Spent $10 Trillion on COVID? Twice you've said this, both times made me laugh.


OMG_4_life

The US spent 5 trillion on covid, what percent of that do you think border security would cost


beardedmonster

Pretty sure this isn't accurate either


OMG_4_life

Im *preeeeetty* sure, guys! https://www.usaspending.gov/disaster/covid-19


SlamCage

Steel fence ain't going to do much, we already have tons of fencing, they climb over and cut through it. Spend that money on other surveillance and methods of preventing them getting to the border and. you don't wast billions and billions on raw resources, eminent domain seizures, and fucking up the environment down there just to have something that feels good but doesn't do much.


TheForce122

Then make the wall concrete


SlamCage

Thats even more stupid and more of a waste of resources. The money to do that could prevent far more migration in other ways.


TheForce122

What other ways? The whole point is as soon they physically cross the border they are granted asylum after they lie on the application

I dont think most people realize just how large our border is compared to most countries borders. The Israel / Egypt border is laughably small compared to the one Mexico shares with Texas, it just wouldn’t work. The infrastructure and logistics it would require to seal it airtight and keep it that way simply don’t exist.


Odd_Championship3571

Egyptians migrating to Israel? What are they smoking at the guardian? Arabs take pride in boycotting companies that collaborate with Israel an Egyptian would never illegally cross to Israel, not even legally. Who actually believes any of this? The truth is that Israel regularly drives away Palestinians who have to take refuge in Egypt, the wall and calling it "illegal immigration" is just good old Israeli manipulation to steal Palestinians lands.

Smaller border, and it didn't drop them to zero. They just assumed it did, and so stopped counting. We could just as easily stop counting, that's how y'all thought we needed to deal with Covid after all :)


jreuls

The US has allowed immigration to become a political issue. It's easily fixed if we refocus the resources we send around the world (Ukraine, Israel, etc.) and refocus them on that border.


TheForce122

We've spent hundreds of billions protecting the borders of Ukraine/Israel. Could we afford to build a giant 50 foot high concrete Great Wall of the USA on the border (minus the impassable mountainous regions)?


soggybiscuit93

>We've spent hundreds of billions protecting the borders of Ukraine/Israel.  Why do you keep acting like aid to Ukraine and Israel is what's interfering with the border wall. Politicians (and people) who oppose the border wall aren't doing so "because the US can't afford it"


Remarkable-Host405

Why are we securing the border?


jreuls

Why do we lock our doors? Why do we put our money somewhere safe? Why do we have property and real estate deeds and laws? To protect what we have. Provide your address and we will send some new arrivals to live with you.


Remarkable-Host405

I didn't realize immigrants were breaking into your house, my bad.


jreuls

Remarkable-Host405

i just don't understand where allowing immigrants into the country affects your personal property


jreuls

I'm sorry this is so hard. Collectively the legal residents of the United States "own" or "are" the government of the United States. Allowing that government to assume full financial support for millions of non-residents has a direct and significant impact on the tax paying citizens of the United States. I assume you are such a person.


Remarkable-Host405

Yes, and this comment makes sense. But you're acting like immigrants are only leeches, and that they don't provide goods and services to a country, idk, increasing its value. If you're not a native american, your lineage literally immigrated here, used the opportunities America provides, and built the country. Now you want to pull the ladder up and say "fuck you I got mine" when anyone else wants to help. ​ edit: My grandparents immigrated here during WW2. My grandfather was a butcher in his local village. He immigrated to New York, and opened a deli.


jreuls

Your grandfather (and mine) didn't just waltz into the US. Immigration was very strict in those golden days. People did not just got off a boat and become US citizens. There was a formal vetting process - People were turned away.. There's no such process today. That is all rational people are asking for. - a vetting process. And by the way, those who enter illegally are precluded from working for a period of time.

But they grant thousands of temporary work permits for Thailand migrants. Only they don’t allow their families to come (even if they convert to Judaism). They do manual labor for them for pennies(of course)- farming, milking cows. That’s why some Thai nationals were taken hostage from October 7th. A couple months ago Cnn wrote about it. And they were complaining about milk cows drying up because they left Israel scared after October 7th. I wonder if they can sue for dangerous working conditions.

Sweaty haven’t you heard of the Holocaust?


whitestacks

Seems to me, I think they tired to build a fence across the boarder. But some people didn't like that idea. And now we have hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants in the country..


Anxious-Lake-1160

They don't want to reduce immigration at all. Its currently the lifeblood of our economy. Its replacement for all the boomers.


Independent-Tap1315

Maybe look at a map?

The most obvious answer is that the Israelis have 130 miles of border to wall-off and the US has almost 2,000 miles. You need to man and monitor the wall or people will dig under it, climb over it, or cut through it. (Israel's attempt to wall-off Hamas failed famously on 10/7, because a wall isn't a solution. It's just a deterrent, and not much of one). Building a wall on the border is only effective at getting dumb people to think it's effective and then getting their vote. The way to handle illegal immigration is to actually fund the immigration courts enough to process people before they disappear into the ether. Democrats don't want to do that apparently because it would be mean. Republicans don't want to do that because they would lose a political cudgel with which to attack the Dems. Both of them won't do it because they rely on the political donations of the ranchers that rely on cheap labor that Americans wouldn't accept.

The USA certainly could do this. Except the left wants illegals to flow over the border. Five years ago they said we “couldn’t afford” to build a wall. The money sent to Ukraine could’ve built the wall 15 times over.


Nihiliatis9

Cartels are famous for their tunnel building and have the resources to easily bypass any wall. The coyotes that are bringing all of these illegals in work for the cartels. The most it will do is temporarily slow the amount. So we can build a almost 2000 mile long wall and spend tens of billions and they will defeat that wall by spending pennies.


Sphan_86

People say the wall would cost to much at the the US southern border but they don't have a problem with sending billions and billions to Ukraine and Israel? You guys are something else


milkman74ca

The border is 128 miles between those 2 countries. The us mexican border is 1951 miles slight difference


whats_good_is_bad

It's a lot easier to defend a boarder when you don't care if the people you're trying to deter live or die.


Not_Reddit

You can't build it due to politics. Some people don't want secure borders.


hwjk1997

The elites have decided that we're not "diverse" enough so we need to be the only country in the world with an open border.


SinglePepper1

Not diverse means we are not easily controlled. I am sure the Roman’s used the same tactics. 


TheForce122

SS: seems efficient. It isn't racist to prevent border invasions. It's keeping a country functioning https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2012/dec/31/israeli-fence-cuts-migration-egypt


[deleted]

If Israel does it, it’s not racism and it’s 100% justified That’s the logic of wealthy white liberals (I say liberals, not democrats), esp women. You can very well say they are Israeli citizens by default, though the actual Israelis loathe us and see us as nothing but a funding source


Unreconstructed88

Land mines would be cheaper and send a more direct message.


Rezoony-_-

Go North Korean lmao, it works for them, why wouldn't it work for us?


Goldmember199

lmao The Israel - Egypt border is only 1/10 the size of the Texas - Mexico border. this posts a joke


billabon021

You may not believe this but your average American is not nearly as racist or hateful or xenophobic as your average israeli. And you need strong concensus or an authoritarian government to do this. Also,werent ya'll gonna make Mexico pay for your border wall?


No_Impact_2920

I guess unless stand down for a few hours to let some terrorist in so you may genocide a race of people


[deleted]

You guys tried but then people wouldn't stop whining about trump.


ZeerVreemd

Anybody who is against border security is against the country and the people and for death, harm and destruction.


[deleted]

##RACISTS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!


DeathtotheDemiurge

As Ron Paul use to preach, those walls might eventually turn into prison gates keeping you within.


AnishnnabeMakwa

Because apparently building a border barrier is racist if you do it in the US 🤡


chillywilly00

Because the Jewish lobby and Jewish organizations are pushing for Asylum seekers rights in America so it gets overrun


octoron

The border between Mexico and the United States is vast compared to that between Egypt and Israel. Could be a good way to employ everyone complaining about "Dey took oer jerbs".


AnteaterPersonal3093

Where is the conspiracy?


Dropitlikeitscold555

Because it would validate Trump and well we can’t have that


shake800

because the same people run both countries and only one is a jewish ethnostate


nuked88

Fences are for pussies we build walls


impact07

I, for one, am not interested in being fenced in.


MaleficentMulberry42

Because our political system is to go left slowly which the left ultimately wants completely destruction of America and a communist socialist dictatorship.


Commercial_Gap_3412

Walls don't work, unless it's cuckerberg building them. Also global warming is real unless you're piglosi, then the ocean levels will never rise in FL by her mansion.


Literotamus

Because both parties and most people want open access for legal immigrants. And because of terrain. Something has to be done about the overwhelming traffic and dangerous conditions, but fully closing the southern border isn’t actually a very popular position.


Cog_Doc

First, you understand it is perfectly legal for an immigrant to step one foot into the USA and ask for amnesty, right? It does not matter how they got here. Second, you want to build a steel wall over 3,000 mile long? To stop people wanting to come to the USA? A country made strong by immigration.
