QuoteIn addition we'd have serious penalties for employing illegals. Employing illegals is really stealing from the community where they live and work. The community is saddled with the costs of their employer's cheap labor. From schools, law enforcement to medical care and loss of local jobs. We wouldn't allow illegals to buy or rent property or get a mortgage. In other words, we would remove the incentives to come here illegally. If we did those things "a wall" wouldn't be needed. In addition many current illegals would self deport not being able to find work or collect benefits from citizen taxpayers.@DB I agree,but there is no way in hell the government can hold private contractors responsible for what the government itself refuses to do. After all,this sort of thing is why "The Government" exists to start with. Turning small businesses into branches of federal law enforcement agencies is NOT a move I want to see made.

But every Central American who doesn't feel compelled to emigrate is one less migrant crossing the border.There's no reason not to attack this problem from both ends. Border security, to be sure, but when we know that the migrants are all coming from the same area of the world where intolerable conditions exist, why not address the "root" causes? Or acquire leverage to encourage Mexico to deal with the problem by securing their southern border?
@catfish1957 What's a hoot are the ignorant fools that think it isn't Congress doing this. You people WANT Trump to fail so you scream "I WAS RIGHT!" to the point you might as well be your leftist brothers in the DNC.
That bargaining chip of holding out the money, until Central American countries stopped caravans is now off the table.Yes, this is congress, but Trump has 2 choices, and he always has them.Sign or Veto.
He'll sign it.
Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn has just emerged from a lunch on Capitol Hill with Vice President Mike Pence and told CNN that President Trump will sign the clean Continuing Resolution to keep the government funded through Feb. 8. “He will sign a clean CR,†Cornyn told CNN.https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/government-shutdown-december-2018/h_c12aab5264720c389f23117dd8e629c0

This is disappointing.Quote98% or more of that money will be wasted, and giving it accomplishes nothing.@Fishrrman Bring money,and nothing more.QuoteThey should have taken 1/3 for wall funding and saved the rest...Yup!
