If Trump’s wall goes up, people-smugglers will buy boats. Instead of smuggling people over the Rio Grande they will be taking them to isolated beaches in California, Texas. Louisiana, and Mississippi.
Don’t think it can’t happen? Consider the thousands that smugglers have taken across the Mediterranean, often with fatal consequences.
And if Trump insists on putting walls up on all these beaches, do you think the local boaters and fisherman will be happy?
Sent to Rep. Pete Stauber (MN-8) and Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith.

And this invasion from Europe just grew and grew until it was a flood that overwhelmed and often killed the original inhabitants.
I think these illegal aliens should go back where they came from.
Gosh! What am I going to do? I am a descendant of these illegal aliens. But how can I "go back where I came from"? I would have to be sent back in pieces. I have known ancestors from England, Germany, and Poland, and probably as my name suggests, from Ireland.
Interestingly, many of the ancestors of these "illegal" immigrants once upon a time freely crossed the Rio Grande, moving back and forth for trade and for better weather. Then a bunch of these Europeans decided they wanted the land north of the Rio Grande, and...
