The Jailing Wall

Can anyone please poke a hole in this argument?

Immigration.

Trump's central platform.

Let's assume that immigration is a problem...even though i've not heard any convincing argument to that effect. But for the sake of discussion, let's assume it IS a problem.

If so, trump could end it within a week.

Start with the question, why do undocumented migrants come here? Because we financially incentivize them to do so. They know they can make HUGE amounts of money here, with or without work papers.

So THEY did not create the problem, yes? We did. And to end this, all trump would have to do is get a law passed that makes it illegal for anyone without proper documentation to earn money in the U.S. Then make the penalty for breaking that law so off-the-charts severe, that NO employer, public or private, would dare break it.

Bingo, done. Problem 100% solved, in about a week. Then trump could move on to real problems.

But to pull back this curtain would be to admit our hypocrisy. We WANT illegals here, to do the work we don't want to do. Since slavery's not legal anymore, we want them here as a powerless and exploitable work force.

"Dangerous" immigrants, by the way, including and especially illegals, are more law-abiding than natural citizens.

Donald knows all this. Does his insistence on this phantom problem allow him to create a money train, involving the incarceration of illegals? 90% of all detainees are not kept in INS facilities, but in private, for-profit prisons. Do you imagine that that's a gravy train without kickbacks? Do you imagine someone's not making fortunes off unimaginable suffering?

Have you ever heard of the fallacy of attacking the branches of a problem, while ignoring the roots? That's all that this wall nonsense ever was.

Can anyone poke a hole in this?

Anyone?
