Things that made you laugh today (Political Version)

Nah. I'd just use them as pseudo slaves until they're not needed anymore.

In completely unrelated news: Trump organization fires undocumented immigrants after harvest is complete.

So... are you for or against illegal immigration? I get that you are upset at Trump.. but you didn't really make your position clear.

[Alfster]

As any sane American, I'm against illegal immigration.

I do not agree with our policy efforts to combat it. Building a barrier, or wall, or whatever we call it isn't really an effective tool to deter people from coming into the country. Policy should be aimed at business that profit from illegal immigration along with a shift on our overall drug policies which incentivize the cartels to try to move drugs into the country. IE: I feel we should legalize drugs, tax them and stop spending tons of cash on fighting the war on drugs.

Actually, a wall or barrier is the most effective tool... it's only because President Trump wanted it that it suddenly became ineffective.

[Alfster]

It's not the most effective tool to combat illegal immigrants. It's certainly a tool in the arsenal, but policy needs to change in addition to the wall. It's projected to stop around 10% of illegal immigrants coming into the country. not to mention that roughly 2/3's of illegal immigrants are overstaying their visas and already in the country.

Why not both? This is the problem with leftists...or in your case people with a severe case of TDS...Trump's ideas are bad bad bad! We have to try this other idea, because lord knows doing both isn't a solution, no matter what our border patrol agents say!

Illegal border crossings account for roughly half of all illegal entries into the country.

Might be less now that Trump has beefed up border security and made a deal with Mexico to cut back on illegal border crossings. Weird how the more effective Trump is at controlling the border the less effective people want to say his actions are.

Democrats in California passed a new law restricting water use to 55 gallons per person per day or be fined 1,000 dollars and within a decade they want this to be 50 gallons per person per day.

Just some small everyday actions people use water for everyday:

About 2 gallons to flush the toilet.
About 10-15 gallons to take a 5 minute shower.
About 1 gallon every time you wash your hands.
About 20 gallons for every load of laundry you use if you use a modern washer, about 40 gallons if you use an older washer.

Not to mention other things like watering your plants, garden, or lawn, doing dishes, upkeep for your fish tank, giving your pets water.

California is such a fucking mess.

Then what is the "most effective tool" to keep people from entering another area.. if it's not a barrier of some sort?

You know California regularly has droughts, right?
