advanced features would do a better job   With the stroke of a pen, those advanced features can be turned off.

As I said elsewhere, a new local prosecutor unilaterally decreed prosecution for possession up to 100 grams of weed will no longer be pursued. For all practical purposes, weed is legal in St Louis County based on one man's decision. In the same manner, a new administration/congress simply ceases attention to border security.

We need something different. What we're doing is not working.

I guess we'll move on from this topic as we clearly see things night and day apart.

immigration is an overall gain to our economy, illegal or not.  

open the fuc king borders already, give them all Tax ID Numbers and be done with it already

Your examples of a useable wall include personnel, like catching trucks passing goods over a wall.  A new administration cant shut a wall off, but they can let ladders and tunnels circumvent it.

Because its something. Like your door locks, it slows down the casual thief.

We've got to do something different. At least we can agree on that, right?

"immigration is an overall gain to our economy, illegal or not. "

 I'm not sure on this but I think it may be connected to agriculture to a degree.  For instance very few American citizens will do agriculture labor for the same price they will do fast-food or even construction.

 Also available volume of labor pool comes into effect, and without migratory worker loads a number of agriculture producers would seize to be competitive.

so, some of those are split decisions where, yes there are positives and negatives to the economy from immigration, but they aren't any more of a criminal threat than the native population, yes there's lots of examples of this one here, and that one there, but have you read the daily crime report in your local paper from your neighbors???  guess what....  quit believing the fear, no the world's not all puppies and marshmellows, but you can't live in fear.

and hey, here's a thing, if you make it easy and legal to come here to work legally, then only the criminals will be sneaking across the border so it's much easier to catch and deport those automatically.  heck, if it gets crazy insane, then maybe even build a wall after you make it legal, that way you can actually control the borders without punishing those just crossing for work.  

but THERE IS NO INVASION!!!!!!!!!!!!!  get over it

Lost, if you leave you car door open and someone steals something from inside, do you blame yourself?

why?  what does that have to do with anything?  are you equating ALL undocumented immigrants to criminals?  

when your kid does something stupid do you blame yourself?

oh, and technically, you can only blame the thief, cause there's nothing wrong with not locking your doors, locking and not locking your doors isn't a moral behavior to be judged.
