The Wall

Mexico doesn't want a wall to the north because a wall is a financial loser for them. HOWEVER, they do not want poor foreigners coming to Mexico. I've vacationed on the Mexican island Isla Mujeres numerous times. This island sits off the eastern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, and is 200 miles west of Cuba. While I didn't see this event, it happened while I was on this 5 mile long sliver on an island. A boat of Cuban refugees hit shore in the middle of the night. Someone viewed these Cubans streaming off of the beach, and alerted authorities. Between the cops and the navy personnel on the Island, they round 'em all up. They gave each Cuban a physical, a meal, and a one way boat trip back to Cuba. They were out of Mexico inside 12 hours.

But if the wall makes Republicans sleep better at night then I dont object so long as they pay for it....... oops - they're not paying for it.


How MOST ILLEGALS GET AND STAY HERE? That might be the dumbest thing you've ever written. And if it was remotely true, the DHS seriously dropped the ball. The Øbama administration didn't consider deporting people whose only offense is overstaying a visa a priority. That was intentionally turning a blind eye to the problem...nothing new there for him.

I got my dumb information from people who actually studied the statistics. They put the number of illegals matching my description at 60%.

So, Bob, can you show me a link to your alternative facts?
