  1. Illegal border crossings are at a 46 yr low.
  2. Pressure for immigration into US from Mexico is less than ever before
  3. More than half of illegal immigrants came to the US via planes legally and overstayed their visa.
  4. The flow of illegal immigrants returning to Mexico and other nations in Central and South America has been stopped by increased border security - which has forced many illegals to stay in the US in off season times

These facts are discarded or ignored by those that scream for the wall, because it seems like a wall would certainly help.

  1. It won’t be an actual wall
  2. It won’t deter the worst illegals
  3. It won’t help at rates that justify the expenditure
  4. It will actually prevent illegals from leaving - as employment rates rise in Mexico
  5. Money can be spent on technology that can help more
  6. Money can be spent on prosecuting employees and housing that make it attractive for illegals to come to the US in the first place

It's a political symbol. That's it.

Who wants to tell him?
You know me and I know you off the board. You know if I really wanted to dox you I could but I didnt and wouldnt. Are you really going to play this victim card?

Not to single you out, but it is creepy af to me when people start calling posters by their first name. Carry on!
I edited out his name. Had no clue that would cause such a righteous indignation. I dont remember cp or boomer defending me when someone was posting my address on here but whatever.

I just said it was creepy af to me and you aren't the only one that does/has done that before. Just seemed like a decent place to inject that.

I assume boomer was supposed to be me? I would not have been OK with someone posting your address. WTF? EDIT - or maybe boomer was supposed to be Boom Boom. I think we can and should be able to say taking things THAT personally should bring a ban hammer.

I didnt really think much about it. Ive known CPeer for about 15 or more years. Probably since at least 2003 or 04. If I were going to "dox" him I would at least use his last name and narrow the set down by a couple million folks.

I didnt complain about it at the time because I troll that person pretty hard and it was more fun to watch them meltdown and mock them than have them banned

Whomever it was, I Hope was banned for life from this db?
Never ban people for entertaining you.

I know we dont know each other but I am friends or acquaintances with literally hundreds of folks on this site. That is why it was funny to have someone wxpose who I am to a bunch of people who already know who I am. Its hard to lue about oneself in front of 20 or 30 people I work with professionally. I mean up until 2 years ago my boss posted on this board.

F-that. I’ve been close to calling out one poster over their use of personal information when going after atl. If a poster doesn’t offer up the info, it shouldn’t be put on here, imo.

I’d like to know who posted your address, so I can be aware of a poster with that level of creep twitching around in their brain

Not when you think about what will be spent to complete the project, what additional funds will be needed to make it effective, and the opportunity cost of what those funds could do for border control if spent on other things.

Additional funds to make if effective? You mean like Wile E Coyote chasing the RoadRunner through the desert? I thought we already did that? But it's impossible, everyone says the wall is a waste, it can't be effective.

ICE and border control have said walls are effective. I don't know what else you need to know.

Maybe I take your nastiness the wrong way then.....it’s always different when you really know someone, imo.

Wouldn’t people climbing the wall need to be apprehended? Or are these walls unclimbable? As a Mountaineer, you should know better.

It was country. He didnt post my mailing address but he posted the lot number to my property so it was clear he looked me up on the county assessors website. Funny he never tried to mock the assessed value of my property since that information would have been availablr. It must not have helped his case. He planned to teach me a lesson I guess. It didnt work out like he planned.

  1. Who cares what it actually ends up, it's a barrier, and ICE and CBP want it
  2. No, but it will deter others, making CBP's job in deterring the worst easier
  3. You don't know that
  4. LOLz
  5. Bull - Barriers and people work better than anything (coming from a guy working with AI)
  6. Then have the Dems create a bill. They would never go for that.
And anything temporary (technology, boots on the ground, etc.) will be removed by the next liberal regime.

I wasn't really accusing you of that. Again, just find it creepy.

You don’t see the problem in giving even a breadcrumb of identifying info about somebody on this board? I know we know who each other is irl but that won’t do me any good when twitbot82 shows up on my doorstep gun in hand to read Russian twitter bot tweets to me.

Knox made us become a little more guarded w/ personal info.

A man who has no chance at making a decent life in a legal manner in his own country.....walks hundreds of miles through heat and dirt.....seeking a slim chance to work extremely hard and life like trash in America......he navigates rivers, desert, crime, and hunger.......he gets to the border and sees a wall...... he says “mierda con esto” and turns around to walk hundreds of miles back through the **** to live like **** with no hope.

Makes fvcking sense
