will they ever cease, border encounters set record

So they did nothing to solve it is what you're saying

 

The spike in border encounters started during the Trump presidency, pal.

 

OP can't find a good wage washing dishes because immigrants took all the jobs he's qualified for.

 

Do you have dreams about the border?

 

People have no interest in your baseless fearmongering over immigrants.

 

Reminds me of our manufacturing plants where some plant managers record zero safety issues and others list quite a few. Were the ones with reported safety violations inherently more dangerous? Not at all, maybe safer.

 

It turns out that people can handle that issue pretty well themselves: less people will come looking for work when there is less work available. Because individuals are able to make decisions for themselves.

 

Wonder how many posters on here have actually spent time living/working at the border crossings?
You might get a different perspective if you do---

 

I certainly haven't. Until I see a party push for E-Verify or new immigration laws it will be a non issue to me

 

Daily reminder - you owe me $50 when Trump clinches the GOP nom. Have a great day!

 

It’s expected from the profession that makes their living by arguing. Nothing ever gets solved.

 

I have. Used to live about a mile from the U.S.-Mexico border. It was far safer than my hometown in Florida.

 

Im going to take my 9-year old son. We just watched the theatrical rerelease of the original, and he loved it. I also teach a course analyzing the biology of sci-if movies, so I kind of have to see it. Avatar is the most biological movie ever made, and you know Cameron will be going all out with the marine biology.

 

I think they are rereleasing the original one too before the second one comes out. He'd probably like both.

 

I have too. Worked for a company that had an office in Nogales, about 50 yards from the border. Used to tell people when they go, stay in the left lane and make sure you veer left. Stay right, and you'll go right into the border crossing line.

Love Nogales. Great town with wonderful people and fantastic Sonoran style food. Never once felt unsafe.

Have also crossed the border in Lukeville, which is the way to get to Rocky Point. It's tiny. Never felt unsafe on the US side, but always wary of the local Sonoyta police on the Mexico side. Speed limit is 30 kph, and plenty of stories about Americans being stopped for going 3 kph over, and being held until they pay.

 

Border Patrol: Border arrests are at an all time high
OP:This proves we have an open border!!
Posters: If the border is open, why are arrests so high?
OP: You people just don't get it!

Wash, rinse, repeat....at least 2 threads a week if not more.

 

Am I allowed to use the term “unprecedented” now ?

 

in all fairness this also coincided with two or three major storms hitting central america and causing some serious damage to their limited housing and farming along with a severe degradation of the situation in Venezuela and security in El Salvador and Guatemala as the gangs exerted even more influence. On the flipside, DT admin cut funding that was intended to help stabilize the security situation in El Salvador and Guatemala. That USAID may have kept a lot of these people in Central America
