The "WALL" (not Pink Floyd)
Jan 23, 2019 08:36:56 #
It is ABUNDANTLY clear that:
2/3 of "illegals" FLY IN on legitimate Visas, then don't leave the US when their Visas have expired.
The remaining 1/3 are NOT all coming across from the south - - there is access ocean-to-coastal both East and West and, yes, even a quiet but steady uptick of walk-ins coming South from Canada.
Unless discovered and confiscated, almost ALL drugs crossing the US Southern border are coming through ports-of-entry.
Frightened, economically challenged refugees, crossing miles of desolate desert - - some of whom do not survive the deadly trek - - surely are NOT going to be entrusted to carry some drug-runner's "valuable" merchandise.
The only reason "the Berlin Wall" was effective was because military guards with machine guns, authorized to use deadly force, were positioned every 10 feet - - all right, maybe 10 feet could be an exaggeration, but you get the idea.
Even the Great Wall of China had similar defense strategies when it came to posting guards and killing to keep out invaders.
WE DO NOT NEED A WALL - - THIS IS A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY DREAMED UP BY A DENSE, DESTRUCTIVE, GOLDEN-SPOON, SPOILED BRAT MAN-CHILD...
IN ORDER TO SATISFY HIS EQUALLY DENSE, OR EVEN MORE SO, VOTER BASE, A GROUP WHOM "HE" HIMSELF CONVINCED OF THIS FOLLY, HE IS WILLING TO UNILATERALLY RIP APART THE FABRIC OF OUR COUNTRY WITH HIS MEAN AND CRUEL GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN...
IT IS SO OBVIOUS THAT HE HAS NO CONCEPT OF THE DAMAGE HE IS DOING - - THE HARM & HURT HE IS CAUSING TO INDIVIDUALS AS WELL AS THE ECONOMY.
AND WHEN I SAY UNILATERAL - - I'M TALKING FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH - - EVERY MEMBER OF CONGRESS SIDING WITH tRUMP IS COMPLICIT IN THIS HORRIFIC TORTURE OF AMERICAN CITIZENS.
SENATE REPUBLICANS MUST STEP UP TO THE PLATE WITH PARTISAN PRESSURE TO STOP THIS INSANITY, HOWEVER tRUMP IS THE ONE RESPONSIBLE TO OPEN UP THE GOVERNMENT AGAIN - - AND HE MUST DO IT RIGHT NOW !!!

This site is not a sounding board for your political views it is a photography site for photographers so please keep your political views on Facebook or some other social media, I for one and would guess others feel the same way.

Many may not like seeing this but I’m looking at it in the “General chit-chat (non-photography talk)” section which is self-explanatory so maybe Admin moved it. Read it, don’t read it, comment, don’t comment...all are options.
Just my 2 cents.

Because the government shutdown concerns all US citizens, including photographers.

Well hmmm, it seems that you don't speak for everyone, since the first 2 respondents, and a couple of others so far, gave positive replies.

So when the Democrats voted for Border walls during the previous presidents years why was it okay then?
Oh, of course you/they don't like Trump!

Um, "Border security" to the Democrats (and obviously some rational Repubs in the House and Senate) and "The Border Wall" in tRump's frame of reference have two totally different meanings - - and you know itb so PLEASE don't try to play dumb.
Your boy wants to take his baseball and go home - - which is to say that no one but he, the Mad Orange Dictator, the Supreme Fuhrer, is responsible for the devastating, self-centered, narrow-minded act of shutting the government down - - with neither care nor concern for the ramifications, likely from a complete lack of understanding.
