If by "do gooders" you mean "law abiders", yeah. I am one, and proud to be so. It does not matter if the borders are open, or closed. When refugees arrive, they get in. If you don't like it, elect some folks who are willing to work for real solutions, rather than clowns who pretend to be working while just keeping the problem alive to be used to draw morons to the polls in future elections. Walls will not work, and never have. People who want in will: dig under, climb over, and break through walls. Study history. Walls did NOT save: Uruk, Constantinople, Rome, Jericho, Jerusalem, etc. Walls, with alarms, did not save Sharon Tate. China has a wall bigger, thicker, better manned, and better armed, than any Trump could ever hope to build....and it did not work. China was invaded 15 times AFTER building The Great Wall.
If you want to stop illegals, the way to do it is to stop what attracts them. Kill the jobs they get once here. Severely punish all who hire illegals. Take away their rights to: vote, support political campaigns, hold office, get government contracts, or serve in the military. Take away their: bank accounts, homes, vehicles, stocks, bonds, metals, businesses, etc. Fine them $10 million for every illegal they employ. Put them in prison for 10 years for every illegal they employ....no early outs for any reason, all sentences to be served consecutively. Make them work at hard labor while in prison. Strictly enforce this all. Soon, no one will hire illegals, so illegals will not come here.
Of course this will never happen, because the same GOP politicians who would have to vote to pass such a law are the main employers of illegals. Trump, himself, has hired illegals almost exclusively for decades. Bob Dole hired illegals. Ted Cruz hires illegals. GOP members of Congress will never vote to cut off their supply of cheap labor, and so force themselves to pay regular wages to hire nannies, gardeners, farm workers, etc. The people you support-GOP Jerks-TALK against illegals, but fail to ACT against them. For the first two years of Trump's administration, the GOP controlled ALL of the government....The House, The Senate, The Presidency, and The Supreme Court. They COULD have passed an illegal alien employer crushing bill, and so ended the problem of illegals....BUT DID NOT EVEN TRY TO. Had they done so, the problem would have been cured, and they could not have used the illegal alien scare to get votes, and donations, from idiots such as yourself. They will never solve the problem, because they do not want to.
Spend $80 million, or more, to build a wall. Illegals will get through it, and continue to be here, and the GOP will continue to con suckers like you out of money, and votes. Walls never have worked, and never will work. Illegals tunneled under part of the wall that does exist in AZ, and tunneled right into the HQ of the Border Patrol, and surrendered and claimed Refugee status. That happened in broad daylight, on one of the most protected parts of the border, with a wall. The wall did not work there. HOW The F will a wall in the middle
of nowhere, patrolled most of the time by no one, going to work any better? It won't. Trump's wall is like Nixon's secret plan to get us out of Viet Nam with honor, and victory. His lies about such got him elected.
Then he expanded the Viet Nam conflict to: Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand. When he finally pulled us out, it was in a shameful loss.
If you can't resist the urge to politicize a non political site, like this, at least get your facts straight, and make some sensible proposals.
