re: What’s The True Reasoning For The Democrat’s Shutting The Gov Down Over Border Security?

I don’t think a wall would be necessary at all if any politician was serious about curbing illegal hiring or entitlement reform

Sadly, they are not

And Dems want their third world voters

I'm against illegal immigration 

Add it up 

Thinking a wall is a dumb, wasteful vanity project boondoggle is not equal to being muh open borders 

But at the end of the day, wall or no wall isn't going to bother too much me either way

that is most democrats position.

Without making it a felony to hire one, this wall is not more than stagecraft.

How many millions already here?
What is plan?
Wall them in.

It’s obvious they want to go after the employers not because of illegal
Immigration, but to punish the “wealthy”. I don’t buy it from them.

Stop a meaningless win for Trump.

Plus, they know the media won't point out that the liberals are essentially shutting the government down for illegal immigrants who haven't even started their journey yet.

And the wall will take years to build so we are talking about something that won't even begin to curtail illegal immigration for years to come.

Should be pretty easy for the media to point out this FACT. Democrats are shutting the government down to aid people who won't even leave for the US for several years.

All to keep a meaningless victory from Trump.

Exactly


Probably the majority of the ones crossing are looking to work, but there’s still a large percentage that knows the entitlement system here is better than life in whatever country they came from

And they’ll vote accordingly

The point is, they aren't going after the employers

Mainly because they are wealthy

You go hard on enforcement of existing laws against employing illegals, and they have no incentive to come here

How do you go hard on enforcement when you have Democratic sanctuary cities they flock too?

So your “solution” to illegal immigration is predicated on class envy?

Good lord
I think it would be a good idea to hold people accountable under the law regardless of their "class"

I don't understand how you come up with some of your non sequiturs

What’s your view on sanctuary cities and their disregard for federal law, Mr law man?

How do you go hard on enforcement when you have Democratic sanctuary cities they flock too?

How does a wall keep them out of sanctuary cities?

I said go hard on enforcement, so you could probably guess how I think about sanctuary cities
