mat-ty, why don't you share with us how a foolish multi-billon wall on our southern border will work to stem the problem that you're so incensed about. While you openly claim that walls work, you've predictably offered nothing to prove that.

"You offer nothing and like most liberals are completely full of shit."

mat-ty, how quickly you forget. I've made myself quite clear in the past about how we should effectively stem our illegal immigration problem. If American companies and individuals were criminally prosecuted for hiring illegal immigrants, our problem would quickly vaporize.

You have to understand the root of the problem, and building a foolish wall doesn't even come close to addressing it. A wall is simply an impediment that can be overcome and circumvented in a myriad of ways.

DHS reports that far fewer than 10% of the 8,000 -- mostly young men -- in the main caravan have any shot at asylum by their own admission that they just want a better job. (As all of you well-informed citizens know, that is expressly excluded from grounds for asylum.)

Reckon the organizers of these caravans are telling the marchers this?

And what kind of parent thrusts children into a skirmish in which tear gas is expected? (Even though, as all you well-informed citizens know, this gas has been certified as safe even for infants.) If that were an acceptable excuse to blame the U.S. for outrageous behavior, bank robbers and mass murderers could just carry kids into their endeavors and expect zero resistance from the law or legally armed citizens ... just as these caravans are hiding behind the women and children they deliberately thrust to the front.

I've been tear gassed in the military, and suspect it's preferable to rubber bullets.

mat-ty, in America, folks are always accountable and judged for what they do.

I have to say up front that I'm not buying all the "terrorist, gangs, and drug dealer" BS spewed by Donald Trump. Why buy into such nonsense? Most illegal immigrants are law abiding folks that are just trying to benefit in life for the work that they do. Most thoughtful folks, particularly those of us in California understand that.

Believe me mat-ty, anything that you're experiencing in Massachusetts is hardly significant. The idea of invading hordes of illegal Hispanics in your neighborhood is laughable.
