right.. because it would be immoral not to allow migrants to ignore a sovereign nation's immigration laws.
you've anthropomorphized an ISSUE involving thousands of people, all with different motives/goals/desires, into a SINGLE "I am a law abiding immigrant wanting to enter the US lawfully to feed my child" migrant.
the irrational fallacies of the far left continue to amaze me.

Re: The Tweets Are Baaaack!
Assuming there will be wall, U.S. taxpayers will pay for it. We were always going to pay for it despite Trump's blather about USMCA and fewer dollars spent on illegal immigrants.

GoFundMe the wall, great. People who think we need a wall will pay for the wall. A brilliant solution (if they can raise $5 Billion). Me? I'm going to buy stock in picks, shovels, extension ladders, excavating equipment, big air-filled landing bags Hollywood stuntmen use, ultralight aircraft, we'll see what works.

If American citizens are still willing to ask "what can I do for my country" per the last true classic liberal president JFK then so be it.

Re: The Tweets Are Baaaack!
I'm not making fun of your pro-Wall position, ant. I was indulging in some snarkiness directed at President Trump. Some offer good reasons for favoring a wall along the entire border, even saying plausibly that such a goal can be compassionate. I simply can't agree with the emphasis on a physical barrier. In some places where a wall already exists, it has worked well and perhaps can be made even more effective. But in many other places on the border a wall is impractical, too expensive, and would violate many existing environmental laws. Technology will continue to improve and to offer better ways to increase border security than erecting new walls.

What's implicit in your comments is what provokes the non sequitur fallacy
Because Mexico won't fund a wall
Because a campaign promise was broken
Because this specific issue has taken a wild turn
It's ironic, silly, ridiculous, or useless for American citizens to organize among themselves to raise some funds for it.
It's not.. it's Americans doing something for their country that is perfectly legal and within their rights.They are being very liberal with their money

Interbane's comments on enhanced drone patrols are good thoughts as well.
