Default Re: The new \"Berlin Wall\" to be dividing US and MEXICO

1.) A wall will not do much to stem the tide of illegal immigration.

2.) It's not about race. How can anyone logically conclude it's about race? Over a million Mexicans immigrate to the United States legally every year. So do people from nearly every other country in the world. The objections people have to ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION are that people are using services...schools, hospitals, other government programs....without financially contributing to those service. Contrary to the bs espoused by politicians that support illegal immigration, illegal immigrants do not generally pay taxes. Note that one does not pay federal taxes, and in most cases state taxes, until a certain REPORTED financial threshhold is met. There is a reason that in polls, 25-50% of latinos polled are against illegal immigration.
