In what way are you sticking to the facts?
Uhhhhhh...... do you doubt that the border is 2000 miles long?
Do you doubt that an >>>IMPENETRABLE<<< wall, as opposed to the one we have now, which mexicans cut holes through, tunnel under, or throw ladders over, would cost billions of dollars?
Offer facts and logic to support that assertion ........IF you have any.
You have proposed making individuals pay for the NID rather than government, that is shifting the economic burden from the public to the private sector.
That's simply false - government would pay for it. Now, mischaracterize me a
fourth time.
Compared to what... The imaginary "Berlin Wall" that nobody here has endorsed building?
Imaginary??? You have three options: keep the status quo, which will bring in millions of illegals when the economy recovers, build an impenetrable wall, or cut off the reason the illegals come here. Pick one.
Your "solution" would cost billions, require perpetual funding
Nahhh - no more than say, drivers lincenses.
and have no more effect than the current laws and regulations.
Rebuttal? Arguments? You are big on assertions and silent with supporting logic.
Pretending that new laws would be rigorously enforced while acknowledging that existing laws are being ignore is naive.
Existing laws can be skirted for a number of reasons, including principally the inability of determining who is an illegal - my solution cures that completely.
A federal database of 330+ million citizens... Clearly you have not considered the costs associated with creating, operating, and maintaining such a massive federal program.
Yes I have - you reread my list of the immense damage caused this country and put a dollar figure on that. Some of the effects, including the gradual conversion of this country into an annex of mexico. are imposssible to put a dollar figure on, but are certainly worth billions of dollars. And what is a billion nowadays, with obozo and his leftwing claque throwing money around by the TRILLION??
Who has proposed to build a "Berlin Wall" on the border? Nobody here that I've seen, yet that is your (mis)characterization of people who oppose your NID proposal.
No - way back you implied that the border should be "secured". How should they do that? Present wall won't work. Speak up and let's hear your mysterious, never-spoken solution. But like I said, there are basically three options.
Black market labor is off the books, paid under the table in cash... Since you know these jobs exist right now, what makes you think they will disappear with the advent of a NID?
I never claimed they would or should disappear - they will be filled by unemployed americans when the illegals go home, which they will if they can't get a job.
