  1. No. Look at the walls the Israelis build. Those are serious walls.

  2. More cheap labor. The border is a racket. The wall is a joke for profit. Wins votes for the people making money on the system. No reason to solve the problem after getting the votes.

  3. No. Republicans would have to find another way to get millions of votes. Businesses would have to pay more for scarce labor. The border is a racket.

  4. The weather is mild this time of year on the southern border. These wisely did not risk the heat of the summer.

  5. These guys walked in under "the wall". Any warranty on this wall? We paid for this wall. Need a better wall design.

  6. This problem is good for millions of votes every election, which is why the problem will not be solved. I mean, these guys got through the wall everybody thought would solve the problem. Now the contractors get to make another round of profits on the next wall design that might not work either. The border is a racket.

  7. They work for green card subcontractors who provide citizen contractors with fixed price contracts for services. All the risk is on the green card subcontractor, who was an immigrant themselves. The border is a racket that generates fear and votes for the very party that wants that cheap labor. The problem is not meant to be solved as long as it brings in the votes.

  8. But my guy is one of the best. Isn't yours?

  9. The border is a racket. Brings in cheap labor. Generates fear so people vote for the business party that wants the cheap labor. Banks skim the money wired home. The problem is not meant to be solved. The problem is a winning campaign issue.

  10. If a problem wins votes every election, then why get rid of the problem?

  11. American employers pay a bit better than the employers back home. A lot of cash under the table. The border is a racket that imports cheap labor and wins the votes of the fearful.

  12. That's what I felt when I saw them going over that wall some Americans were chanting for. The border is a racket.

  13. So we are not going to build more of that type of wall, right? The southern border is a racket.

  14. The government is controlled by the lobbyists. The border is a business vote winning, cheap labor racket.

  15. No. It is a carefully constructed racket serving American business interests. Vote Republican. The problem is not meant to be solved.

  16. Notable that these are mostly fit men of military age. Their fathers are back home watching the family, ready for the money wires to start up. Many of these men will work for green carded subcontractors who work for citizen contractors who just pay a flat fee for services without worrying about I-9 Forms or FICA and Medicare tax payments. Cash only. The system works well. The border is a racket that is not meant to be solved, but to obtain the votes of the fearful that will maintain the system. Bless Fox, and I don't know why they did it, but they just demonstrated what a joke "the wall" is. Another component of the racket, juicy border infrastructure contracts. Now the Israelis, they build serious walls.

  17. Bad wall design. No warranty. Bad purchase. Contractor got paid. Just built to the plan.

  18. Is heaven segregated?

  19. Bless your heart. They all seem quite fit men who are here to work for a system that does not want to solve this problem because it wins votes for the very party that wants cheap labor. The border is a racket. I talk with immigrants. They take the menial jobs but it's better money that back home, where the business community has an even harsher desire for cheap labor. Money will get wired home. The banks will skim those international transactions. And look at the wall that Americans chanted for, and the joke that it is in reality. Another juicy government contract. I propose building more American consulates in the sending nations, around which will form sanctuary cities. They become investment zones for US companies somewhere other than China. Pay needs to be good enough that folks stay in their own country. Not that that is going to raise pay for American citizens, but they might stop being so scared.

  20. The border is a racket. Scares you into voting its way. Brings in the cheap labor. It's like abortion. The problem is not meant to be solved as long as it gets votes.

  21. Because the Republican party has determined that millions of Americans will vote Republican because this issue exists. Solving the problem might result in the loss of such voters. The border is a racket.

  22. But they put up the wall everybody wanted. The border is a private racket.

  23.  @B7NZ  American contractors sub out menial work. The border is an American business racket. It's a win-win. Cheap labor. Fearful Americans vote Republican. Useless wall contracts awarded. Problem gets chatted up every election season. It's like abortion. It's not meant to be solved.

  24. In the background of this video is a breachable wall. I'll bet it was a juicy contract for whoever put it up. And the right saw from a local hardware store can cut a discrete hole in it. The border is a racket. Discussing this matter myself with immigrants, the issue is in America there are menial jobs usually available that pay better wages than back home. Some just pay cash with no FICA or Medicare tax taken out, which both employer and employee prefer. These are men that are going to send money home because our modern banking system, which skims international transactions, has made that easy to do. Like I say, the border is a racket, and the problem is not meant to be solved, but to win the votes of the fearful.

  25. Ukrainians are highly skilled. After Republicans throw them under the bus they will roll out the other side and show up in America.

  26. The border has been a racket for decades. It's dragged out every election season to instill fear and win votes. As long as it wins votes, there is a disincentive to actually solve the "problem".

  27. How about a lawsuit against the firm that designed the wall? Why did Fox go and make video of the wall being breached. Wasn't the wall supposed to stop people?
