Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | The border news is having a psychological effect on future illegals. Crossing slowed in Jan and has this month also. If your sitting in shithole Bamboozi and hear there's only a 50% chance of crossing, and an 80% of getting deported if you do, it puts a real damper on going at all. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

What makes you think Pence would be more efficient? More competent, certainly. he has actual experience, and it's likely he knows he doesn't know everything. But he doesn't have as wide an appeal, and he won't be anywhere near as entertaining as Golden Boy. He'd also be less likely to act out of prejudice and bigotry. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

You can say it as many times as you want. It reflects on you in a bad way. I get that you don't care. |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18764 | The best thing that could happen (as far as I'm concerned) is even if Pence replaces Trump he's so damaged by the association, he won't be able to use it as a spring board to anything. Lately I've been thinking it's too bad Biden couldn't have projected more gravitas, and less GW Bush bungler persona. He might of been the real contender. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Proves nothing so far. It always is slower in winter. This year, the weather has been downright hostile in the Southwest--heavy rains, flooding. |

Sure it does. You think all the border news about walls and ICE raids and 10K new border agents is spurring people on to to come? Doesn't work that way. You won't spend your life savings on something you think will probably be a bust. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | It has rained more than usual this winter, but the weather down here has been pretty decent. If you are afoot this is a much better time to cross the Chihuahuan or the Sonoran desert then when it is 110 or higher temp. That is part of the reason for wanting to relax the border so people don't die walking across. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

But since they're Mexicans, Trumpers want them to die. The Border Patrol puts out tankers of water on the most traveled routes. A Trumper was caught poisoning two of them last summer. This is far too sophisticated a concept for Trumpers to understand, but if people are willing to risk their lives just to come here, aren't these the sort of people we want? Joe Sixpack sits on his couch drinking beer and grouses about how the country hasn't given him what he deserves. Jorge Garcia walks a thousand miles just for the chance to live and work here. |

Good grief, that's obscene. And only 55% of border crossings are Mexicans, the rest are from as far away as Eastern Europe. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Actually immigration has been going down since 2007. trump picked a solved problem after which to burn money with a wall. I guess beneath his Russian exterior beats the heart of an East German apparatchik. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |
