Segregation seems radical to me.
Deregulation of banks seems to free up corruption.
But the wall works as to why the majority of the border patrol unions and agents spoke out in support of Trump.
"Where the wall goes up, the number of illegal crossings—and crime—goes down. Put simply, “Walls Work.” Our Border Patrol agents know this. Perhaps more importantly, criminals know this.
Here in the Rio Grande Valley Sector, our Border Patrol agents observe that human smugglers are changing their tactics due to the wall system and are attempting to cross through areas that are easier to surveil.
In Zone 1 here in RGV, we have seen a 26 percent decrease in narcotics seizures since the start of border wall system construction.
In Yuma Sector, illegal entries in the areas with a border wall system decreased by 87 percent in Fiscal Year 2020 compared to FY 2019.
In Tucson Sector, narcotic seizures decreased in between the Ports of Entry between FY2019 and FY2020 thanks to capabilities provided to our agents by the wall system. Overall, drug seizures in the sector are down 25 percent.
And over the past four years, because each new mile of border wall system pushes the cartels to ports of entry or other areas that are easier to surveil, DHS has seized more than 4 million pounds of hard drugs like fentanyl, cocaine, and methamphetamine—which is almost double the annualized amount of drugs seized between 2009 and 2017.
But if you still are not convinced, consider the following:
In areas where the new border wall system has been deployed, we will be able to redeploy thousands of Border Patrol agents per year to other areas of need.
In areas where new border wall system has been deployed, we now decide where border crossings take place—not smugglers. The wall system allows our agents to pick their battleground by forcing drug smugglers, human traffickers, and other criminals to pass through areas easy to surveil or our Ports of Entry.

- additional time to detect and apprehend individuals attempting to enter our country illegally.

I used to live within sight of the San Diego / Tijuana border. many poor Mexicans come across looking for a better life.The rich cartels hire mine engineers to build tunnels with mine carts and and smuggle dope this way and weapons the other right under Border Control/ICE's noses. From and to stash houses on both sides.
My son in laws father, worked with a contractor and help build a sample wall for inspectors to examine. On a Monday, a local gang (that left there 'tag' on the wall) used something like thermite and burned a whole right thru it, As a joke they think.
I think it's a big waste of $$$

Agreed the wall is a waste of money and nothing more than a canard. We need real immigration reform that is likely impossible with out a better agreement with foreign countries. Honestly I think the only solution would be to annex Mexico and central America all the way to the South American continent.

Communists are not true socialists because socialists believe in sharing the wealth. Communists believe the state should take it all and dole it out as they see fit. Many Communists and fascists have claimed to be socialist because it sounds better. They were lying.
It's very difficult to tell the difference unless you are very familiar. Like counterfeit paper money. An experienced cashier that handles money all day, every day, can tell by feel. If 2 $100 bills are stuck together like Velcro, they can feel it. Or if the ink won't smear right. A rookie cannot. So they use marking pens that react differently by color on legitimate ink. Yellow good, black bogus. There's no such test to tell who's a fraud and who isn't politically. If they sound to good to be true, it most likely isn't. (Like Bernie Sanders.)
You were correct about write in or abstain, (sometimes) regarding my voting record. Good call.

Not according to Marx. Communism or the commune of needs is the final step of socialism. Socialism according to Marx must have a dictator to force people into the socialism mindset and once generations have gone by according to his theory the dictator could finally step down.
According to this, communism has never been achieved.

Socialism is an ABYSMAL FAILURE. If that has not sunk in already, then it never will. The only system which benefits the most is free enterprise -- not capitalism where a handful of capitalists grab all the profits.
Western societies have been systematically destroying small businesses and making billionaires into trillionaires with their economic and taxation policies. And if -- God forbid -- Biden-Harris take control of America, it will quickly become Venezuela.

mm that is interesting about the concept of annexing mexico but I dont think the mexicans in power would agree unless something in it for them or they had proper or proportionate representation in govt.
To me it seems the immigration laws are not working, as so many illegal immigrants would be legal if things were easier on both sides, because both countries need the labour and the funds. There is also a language and culture barrier, if say english was taught in mexico and spanish was core curriculum in us there might be more understanding on both sides.
in nz we have migrant and working visas and we do have proper screening and also actually help migrants settle here. but the thing is because of currency inequalities its very imbalanced. Like richer migrants can just buy up land with their pin money, leading to property shortages and houses sitting empty while there are homelss people! poor migrants struggle and are stuck. and if they dont have decent jobs or education they then become a drain on the country.
it is just a sad state of affairs that theres a huge gap between rich and poor all over the world, and it seems nothing that we devise as humans, no system will remedy this.
Jesus was clearly on the side of the poor who he said would be blessed, though that blessing may not actually translate into material riches in ones lifetime. When Mary was singing at Jesus conception she mentioned in Luke 1:52-53 how God would deal with this
