And if America is so full of white male supremacists and white male murderers, why have tens of millions of people been trying so hard to get into America?
Funny how the right is against illegal immigrants when they're the next best thing for them compared to slavery.
Because even though white male supremacists and white male murderers are a big problem in America (compared to other criminals) they're still a statistically insignificant part of someone's decision to try so hard to get into America in order to escape conflict, poverty, and seek work and better fortunes for themselves.

Funny how the left wants more of what it calls the next thing to slavery.
So they're coming here in droves because of conflict ie violence and crime, but none of all that is coming with them. And the next thing to slavery equals seeking a fortune.
The left does?
That's just what I just called it. Never heard or read it as a Liberal phrase.If you and your family's lives were being threatened, does that make you a threat to others' lives?
Seeking a fortune? I said better fortunes aka good fortune aka prosperity - which for many would simply be living paycheque to paycheque at a low paying meager job simply for the comforts of stable surroundings free from violence or political unrest.

It's estimated that illegal aliens kill between 6-12 Americans everyday.
(Their statistics include the thousands of 9/11 hijacker killings as the hijackers were illegal aliens)

The point is we want to STOP them.

How does the wheat get sifted from the chaff?
And no such place exists in all of Central or South America?

Slavery is free labour - that's best for business. Illegal immigrants are very inexpensive labour - that's second best for business. That was my point.

I didn't say I want it. I acknowledge that American businesses benefit from it.
Same way it does here in Canada, first by checking ID & backgrounds if possible, second by interviews with immigration and psychologists who screen people as best they can when they come from war torn countries with no records of who they are. It's not a perfect system, but it's not a total crapshoot, either. If their behaviour indicates something is amiss, they're interviewed further to determine if they are an illegitimate refugee. Same kind of thing when someone is caught being nervous and possibly smuggling something - trained LEO's do the digging until they figure out what's going on.
Does that mean mistakes Never happen and bad people Never get through? No. Nothing is completely foolproof. But a whole lot of good meaning people and their families get a chance to start over in a place where they can survive at first, and then with hard work, thrive. Here in Canada, refugee immigrants pay more taxes than wealthy investor immigrants (who cheat taxes, basically.) & that's a fact. Probably the same South of the border.
No idea; I've never been to Central or South America. You'd have to ask each migrant why they chose to approach the USA. Maybe they have family here already. Maybe America symbolizes stability, opportunity, peace and freedom to go about their lives to them & is the place they feel safe? Or any other number of reasons. Ask them.

Actually, retro, it was never supposed to be real in the first place. I read an article that said the wall was a fabrication by some campaign advisers who trying to keep trump focused on anti-immigration issues. The crowd responded well to it, so trump kept saying it. Now he can claim it's to satisfy his election promise to his base, but IMO all this wall shutdown nonsense is mainly intended to be a distraction to slow down criminal investigations into him and his family.
