And you can find nothing in my posts or those of the majority of wall critics here to the contrary.
Thanks for playing, better luck next time.

No, you don't speak for me...I know best!
What do think would have happened with the 6000+ strong caravan had Trump not sent the military down to bolster that out-of-date fencing with barbed wire?
Yeah, there are lots of illegals here for many reasons including the Visa overstays, but the worst of them, mostly at the southern border, break the law from the get-go just to get in...unacceptable, PERIOD! A wall/state-of-the-art fencing will help, PERIOD! It's a reasonable start, PERIOD! Trump also wants to stop 'chain migration' and the 'visa lottery.' Anything wrong with THAT?
And, what are you relegating to a "nice little sob story deflection"?...the CA cop killing?...the legal immigrant killed by an illegal immigrant? Are you et al really that hardhearted to even say something like that?

Nothing.
The military wasn't stationed anywhere near where the Caravan showed up. It was Trump drumming up his base prior to a midterm.

The post I quoted and responded to. A nice little hypothetical sob story, free of facts.

Pew is right! I smelled something stinky about those numbers. But when we add a little context to them, we get a different take.

The military played no active role there, and they are not allowed to. They were support troops, taking care of food, housing, etc.

I have a better idea. Let's bring the Kurds here, secede some border land to them and have them defend the border against invaders. A win-win.

Where do you two get your information??
U.S. military lays barbed wire at border as migrant caravan approaches
U.S. Marines reinforced a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border with barbed wire on Thursday (November 15) as hundreds of Central American migrants planning to seek asylum in the United States approached.
Barbed wire and barricades were also installed at the San Ysidro and Otay Mesa crossings from Tijuana.
Tijuana, in the Mexican state of Baja California, is at the westerly end of the border, around 17 miles (38km) from San Diego, California.
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has taken a firm stance against the caravan, which began its journey north on Oct. 13 and briefly clashed with security forces in the south of Mexico early on its route.
US troops put up barb wire along border in Hidalgo, Texas

Whatever it takes to keep uninvited [alien] guests out.
I bet if push came to shove you'd be able to knock out an Anti-Home Invaders Book for Dummies -- 101 Ways to Keep 'em out Your Hair, Home and Pockets, in no time flat.
