We have security for a reason. We have doors, windows, walls and alarms in our homes for a reason. I am Not an expert but when experts opine and state we need a wall and immigration reform, I believe them.
You can do research and formulate your own opinions.

If a doctor said that they wanted Obamacare, would you support that?

Cmon.
No MD would say that but if they did I would ask why for sure and give credence to their opinion. Yes.
OK, they restate whatever Obama said. You support Obamacare now?

If a social worker said that we need programs to help the poor, suddenly you support that?
I would give them more credence than a doctor. But I see the issue at the border. Both parties agree we need more security. The border patrol want a wall so did the Democrats until it became Trumps calling card. Now they are obtuse because they want to make Trump seem like a liar. Your house has doors and walls. Why shouldn’t our border? The wall also works well in Israel. The border patrol agents specifically stated they wanted a wall. I believe And support them. In your example if the social worker said we need all our employees to have iPads to make their jobs more effective I would support that.
My dqd works with poor people. He says we need to better support the poor.

also...
The CMS caught people going over the current fence with a rope and ladder and under it with a tunnel last week. Wall don't stop that. Wall also don't stop the people entering through VISA and overstaying. The wall would, presumably, stop SOME illegal immigration but it certainly isn't worth 60 bil. Also hurts environment and creates flooding. Tech is much better. Also, the asylum process would be basically impossible, which sucks for many from central America.

Also, Israel is not the US. Wall is not as long, not for same purposes, different geography, etc. Every problem that I just mentioned doesn't really apply to Israel for some reason or another.

Israel’s wall is 150 miles. It is not small. Again the border agents want it. It is just a structure and last I saw the cost was $25Bn. Which Trump said would be paid for by tax on remittances. There is no clear answer here but if our houses have walls and doors why should not our borders?

Tang, if you are going to use this against CCCP in regards to the wall, it dilutes your argument for more social programs in America, especially your healthcare argument.

Yeah, the US Mexico border is only about 13 times longer. Drop the border agent stuff and just debate.

It is a structure. I don't hate the idea in principle but let's do a cost analysis. Even if it was 25 bn, which it isn't, that is too much money to spend on stopping maybe 10% of illegal immigration, especially when other solutions could cost less and be more effective.

Our houses have doors and walls because their production is worth the cost. You can't say that about a border wall.

Fair enough. But I think Israel's differences are why the program works in this scenario, and not why it works in Finland with healthcare.
2/12/2019 4:12 PM
Tang this debate is tiresome. I believe it will work you don’t. Not sure what else you want me to say? Your house has walls and doors. Not because you hate the people outside but because you love the people inside.

WASHINGTON — President Trump has called for a wall along the border with Mexico to stop undocumented immigrants and drugs from entering the United States. But Border Patrol agents on the front lines say they need more technology and additional personnel to curb the illegal traffic, according to a report released on Thursday by Democrats on the Senate Homeland Security Committee.

The report was based on internal Customs and Border Protection documents from the 2017 fiscal year. It concluded that less than one half of 1 percent of the agents’ suggestions to secure the Southwest border mentioned the need for a wall.

From March of 2018. But don't let actually looking stuff up get in the way of...whatever this is, cccp.

You realize there are MDs who are pro ACA right?
Nope I do not. Right? Wait, you didn’t know that?

Every MD I have met is capitalist first and foremost. My longtime family MD recently retired because he said it was not as profitable. Less regulation not more is what MDs likes hence many go into laser eye surgery and Botox as these industries are private pay vs insurance
I know you know two doctors who don't like the ACA but, newsflash, there are more than two doctors in America. Even if, and this is completely made up, only 1% of doctors think the ACA is great, that's still some doctors who like the ACA.

“We don’t need a great wall of the United States. We do not need 2,000 miles of border wall. I will tell you, however, that a wall in strategic locations is absolutely necessary,” Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, said, ABC News reported.

From March of 2017. Again, don't let actually looking stuff up get in the way of....whatever this is, cccp.

CCCP is STILL refusing to respond to.my post.
I did. Your subsequent post was entirely opinion base without any logic behind it. I respectfully disagree with you. What else would you like me to say? I literally Watched border patrol agents on live TV state they want the wall. I believe A good defense is a good offense so sometimes we need to intervene proactively. Not sure what we are debating exactly.
most of your posts are entirely opinion based. Yes, some border agemnts undoubtedly think we need a wall. I'm willing to bet (but but not willing to reseaarch it) that you find many border agents who say a wall would not help. It is just their opinion, not fact.
Their opinion is based on fact.
no, their opinion is based on their opinion that we need a wall. Doesn't make them wrong. But it is still just an opinion.
I think your windows are fine. You live in your house and notice they are drafty. You think you need new windows. Since I dont live in your house, your opinion is worth more
than mine.
nobody's opinion is worth more than anyone else's opinion. I may have more evidence to support my opinion than you do, but that doesn't make it worth any more or less.
OK they have more evidence so I value their opinion more. Fair?
sure, that's fair. But they have evidence that supports your opinion. Other border patrol agents can probably show evidence that says a wall is not the answer. You won't value their opinion more because their evidence does not support what you believe.

Why would a doctor like ACA when it costs them money? Your insults failed. Try again.
