That may be true.
Yet there’s an irony with folks who mock “just build a wall” only to fire back with “just jail folks who hire illegals”.

Shit, all these simple one-step answers for ongoing, complex, multinational problems.

Amazing.

Who knew running a nation was so simple?
:lol:

Problem: People we don't want here are showing up because there are jobs and welfare services to be had.
Government solution: Create a huge bureaucracy, spend a ton of money, build ugly walls, hope for the best
Alternate Solution: Remove the jobs and the welfare. Give the jobs to the armed gunmen currently patrolling the borders. Use the savings in welfare to provide tax cuts to legal citizens.

Yeah, I get it. It’s certainly *not* that the proposed solutions are difficult to grasp. In fact, being simple and easily understood is pretty much their primary feature.

How do you sell your solution though? Facts aren't going to convince the electorate, the wall on the other hand, that plays to their feels and makes it easier to do what you want to do. Stop shitting on the wall part of the plan, it's counter-productive to your goals.

Romney already pitched Self Deportation, that went poorly, The Wall on the other hand, worked like a charm. You are too focused on the fine details of the solution, and not focused enough on how to sell your solution. Trump on the other hand focused on selling himself as the toughest on immigration, and not on the fine details that can come after being elected and it worked so much better.

Reality - as long as companies can hire illegal aliens with impunity, they will continue to come here. A wall won't stop them. Most of them don't get here by jumping over and climbing under a wall. Let's spend billions to not solve a problem. Hey, it feelz good, amiright?

Without the wall to sell the plan, you wont get the other shit you want.

"Self Deportation" does not sell unless you package it with "The Wall" and emphasize the later instead of the former, ask Mitt Romney if you don't believe me. Mittens tried it your way, how'd that work out for him?

Last I checked, Congress and the WH belong to the party that wants to stop illegal immigration. The voters put them there to do that. They (Congress and pres) dont' need the electorates approval for any specific law they want to pass. What are you smoking?

Is the flawed reasoning really that opaque?

Drug problem?
Just make drugs illegal, problem solved.
Right?

Illegal immigrant problem?
Just make hiring them illegal, problem solved.


As for Capps ... he has nothing to say as usual, and he’s said it about 400 times.

What does that have to do with anything that I've said?

Says the guy who is also repeating himself in this thread too.
:roll:

Self awareness, DBTrek has none. Sometimes he's good at pointing out the failings of others, but he fails to recognize that same shit when he does it himself.
