WALLS, WALLS AND MORE WALLS DO NOT EQUAL JOBS.

Unmistakable sign of weakness

Border walls are the greatest proof of weakness that governments display in the name of national security, job protection and of course, racial "purity."

Weakness?  You bet.

1. Weak border control at the gates.  

2. Weak visa enforcement re. students, tourists, sales reps, politicians, etc.

3. Weak tracking of holders of temporary stay visas.

4. Weak enforcement of labor laws.

5. Fear of loss of campaign contributions from those who hire low wage undocumented migrants

These are but a few elements of our national weakness concerning the entry and stay of migrants.  In order to escape our national responsibility to govern and enforce the migratory movements of  people in our land, there are some who insist on delegating these responsibilties to brick and mortar.  History has shown us that brick and mortar and even other more or less sophisticated erections do not do anything more than to make those who built them happy for a short period of time.  After a while they all become nothing more than tourist attractions and historical footnotes.  The proof of this is spread out over our planet, from sea to shining sea and from fruited to non-fruited plain.

My position to the government of the United States is:  Save money.  Get in your car and go find those who are thumbing their noses at the existing immigration and related labor laws and you will solve what you seem to believe is a problem.  Believe me, building a wall is not going to stop the US employers from hiring non documented persons...in fact, those employers will smuggle people in through the existing gates - mark my words.
