It makes the patrolling a lot easier. Having to climb up and over a wall is a much more obvious action to spot/witness (either by eye or drone or sensor) than dodging from bush to bush flat on the ground.
When you fly into the US, you come through the border (immigration), and your identification, papers, and more are scrutinized. Would you support doing so for everyone who enters across a border? If they can bypass that check - should we let them do so?
How will a wall help with any of that? Most illegal immigration is the cumulative result of people overstaying visas. In other words entering through a port of entry and then just not leaving.
Nice, then we need to expand and enhance ICE and get unconstitutional "sanctuary State/city" laws tossed... More ICE for everyone!
All told, Americans cross-subsidize health care for unauthorized immigrants to the tune of $18.5 billion a year
That's from the Forbes article. Now, Forbes states that "only" $11.2 Billion is direct Federal payment; Watchdog.org points out that the balance was from States, who mingled that spending in with legal spending and accounted for the balance that Forbes reported. A total of $18.5 billion. But hey, if you want to say it was only $11.2 billion - that is $11.2 billion in Federal spending on illegal immigrants. And is actually against the law.
If the CEO of a 10,000+ workforce has to end up sleeping on factory floors to push a product through - he failed. That was a structural fail related to the scheduling and managers he set/chose months before. The CEO is to set up the team for success, not drive them through the final stages. The CEO is the GM of the team, not the QB.
It is when that 10% is more than 500 people. This layoff meets the legal definition of a mass layoff, and has specific actions the company must take related to the mass layoff.
SpaceX is not hugely successful though. They just failed their capital raise and are in pretty bad shape. Companies experiencing growth do not have mass layoffs.
10% is a mass layoff?
Yes, it is. This meets the legal requirement to be deemed a mass layoff. More than 500 people is a mass layoff, and brings with it specific legal requirements for the company - which includes announcing said mass layoff publicly, and at least 60 days prior to the layoff.
I never said a wall in an area can't help. What I am saying, and most sane people, is a wall that streches the entire state would be expensive, and risky, and give little benefit.
The Border Patrol agents overwhelmingly say otherwise. Do we listen to the people who actually enforce the border, or talking heads in DC?
Not a single GOP vote. Rammed through without GOP support. It was a 100% Democrat bill. You want to rationalize and revise - but the facts are they got exactly what they wanted, because they did not need - nor did they receive - any GOP support. The Democrats made it, they own it 100%.
It talks about both - it cuts down on illegal immigration, AND it makes Mexico better. Why do you hate Brown People and want to leave them at the mercies of coyotes and drug runners?
He won 56% of the only vote that matters: the Electoral College. You should read the Constitution, it tells you how a President is elected, and it is NOT by popular vote. Only one vote matters: the Electoral College.
Walls work. And not only do walls work, with the same force you can see a 4-10X reduction in illegal immigrant. That seems to be pretty convincing, and it's backed by hard data. Walls work to enhance security. Otherwise, why do we put walls around prisons, or even add doors to the cells?
Just a tip: President Trump won about 56% of the vote; the only vote that matters is the Electoral college. The "popular vote" is neither popular nor a vote. There is only ONE vote for the President, and President Trump cleaned up convincingly.
No, it's a masterful manipulation of the conversation. In the day and age of soundbite communication and journalism, giving a quick, trollish soundbite tweet gets the media/society to focus where he wants for a few days. And then he goes and gets things done - like rolling back thousands of regulations, seating hundreds of judges, and massively changing the tax landscape.
Since society and the media put so much focus on Twitter and posts, use them to distract from what you want. Brilliant.
Seattle's tunnel is still on-going, and we're still building high-speed, 100 MPH rail between Modesto and Bakersfield in CA (for $100 billion).
Not a single Republican voted for the ACA. It was lock, stock, and barrel exactly what the Democrats wanted - they didn't need ANY Republican support or votes at all. Zero. If there's something in there that strikes you as "Republican" it's because Barack, Nancy, and Chuck wanted it.
Social Security was set up to fail, by not pegging retirement age to average life expectancy. It is a structural fail from the start.

Not to mention enabling guns to just walk into Mexico...
Border fence in Israel cut illegal immigration by 99 percent, GOP senator says - Politifact says it's true. I'd say a 99% cut in illegal immigration is rather good, wouldn't you?
State prisons hold illegal immigrants, too...

Or maybe they are cutting their biggest controllable expense, since they are losing billions of dollars...

Walls worked for El Paso. Why don't you think it would work in other places? Why do you close and lock your doors when you leave your home?
He is wrong. It's more, about 80%. At least that's the latest numbers I can find.

The fence works, where it exists. Why do you close and lock your doors when you leave your home?
It will certainly help. Why do you think a wall will not help in border control? Does a locked front door help protect what is inside your home?
Couple of things:
Seattle's tunnel is still on-going, and we're still building high-speed, 100 MPH rail between Modesto and Bakersfield in CA (for $100 billion).
