I never buy a new car. I buy one that just came of a 2 year lease, with low mileage. Let someone else eat the depreciation.

Some suggest that the establishment of a National ID and requirement that a person have one to be employed in the US would make the wall less necessary.

And how do you propose distributing the National ID cards. Where does one go to get one? Does it need a photo? What do that have to show to prove they can work here? What happens to an employer who hires someone with out one? How does an employer verify an ID is legit?

Let's just assume that Corporation and Businesses spend the gained tax money better and more wisely than the Government, even the small middle class business owner. It would still be a win all around, would it not?

Why would you assume that? It might be better for the corporation, but it's almost certainly worse for the community as a whole.

The cost of the Mexican Border Wall, about 3000 miles, is equivalent to one brand new U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier, without the aircraft. 12-15 billion dollars. Then, the Wall has to be maintained, due to vandalism. Law enforcement personnel and equipment will be needed to patrol it. That will add to the cost, upwards to 20+ billion dollars. I don't think Trump's Wall is going to be cost effective. The Wall will only reduce illegal entry into the USA. Not completely stop it. There are better ways to stop illegal entry. The Democrats want illegal immigrants for demographics, and the Republicans want them for cheap labor. It's a no win situation. IMO.

I can tell you what happens in Canada, in the past if you hired some one you had to send the national ID card to the government and they would tell you if the person was legal or not. If you did not do that the company was fined $10,000.00 per illegal. They once deported my whole nightshift, 35 associates including the foreman. That was the last time I had hired anybody without clearing it with the Gov. You have similar law here, but it is not enforced under the OBama Gov.

It's not always obvious where cars are made. Lots of cars are made in Mexico.

See the comment by Schwabo related to how Canada handles illegal immigration. It shouldn't take billions to figure out how to copy that.

Comments about how we need immigrants are based on an instant in time, a snapshot. Where do the immigrants we need every year go? Why aren't they available in the next year or decade? Why do we need more? Why aren't their kids working in the fields or restaurants or wherever we "need" them? Look back 20 years when we had the same "need". How many new citizens do we have as a result of two of those "necessary" illegal aliens? Where are they? They are competing for your jobs.

I remember that quite a few years ago Motor Trend notified Ford that their big LTD qualified as their Import Car of the Year because over 50% of the car was made from imported parts. Ford declined the offer.

The initial letter/number combination indicates where it was built. For example 1hg indicates usa built , jh or jn indicates japan built.

Impressionist

Roads and bridges in need or repair across the country. Schools in need of funding. When was the last time the working class here didn't pay the bill one way or another? Increase border patrol and enforce laws on those who hire undocumented workers. Both would mean more jobs for citizens. Less available work here would be a much more effective then a symbolic wall of hatred.

Because those who think lowering business taxes so... (show quote)

You are ignoring the main reason. Currently the US buisness tax is 35%, amomg the highest in theworld. Lowering that tax would bring the trillions of dollars back from foriegn banks. A (roughly)10% tax on money returning to the US will bring a wole lot more money than 0 tax on money NOT returning. The lower business tax will also serve to lessen the move to off shore jobs. And some of that money will serve tomaintain jobs and even give an incentive to create jobs. When companies have more money on hand sme of it is used to hire more employees. A more sucessfulcompany has more employees than a less cucessful one.
