OMG! You think that I would fail your test? Oh Lordy how shall I go on?
Seriously, you express more interest in me in one post, than I have shown to you in all of mine. I don’t know whether to be flattered or creeped out. Got anymore tests for me to decline?
I have never been an advocate of using a physical wall to secure our borders.
Walls get breached. Always have. Always do. Always will.
We need to build a virtual economic wall that leaves self-deportation as the only recourse to illegal entry. We can do a tight e-verify that would apply not only to employment, but to housing (rentals or purchase), loans, insurance, education, and other things.
In fact, that’s the key to the whole virtual wall. And not just the employers, but the providers of all the transactions that would require e-verify.
And I fully accept that it would require a marginal degree of loss of liberty for me. I would be required to verify my residency no less than an illegal immigrant would. Thus, most of my daily life would be more trackable.
To me, that trumps building another Great Wall of China (that failed in its intent too.) The economic difference between a physical wall and a virtual wall heavily favors the technological approach. And that advantage multiplies when considering ongoing maintenance and operation costs.
I am just tickled that hypocrite Trumplicans are still providing cover for Fat Donald as he fails to deliver on a major campaign promise i.e. “the wall”.
Trumplicans blaming Democrats, who aren’t even in control of the budget, for Fat Donald not having the funding to build his “big beautiful wall”.
