In a nutshell, the policy of separation existed WELL before Trump.
However, Obama chose mostly to ignore it. This caused a FLOOD of immigrants

the direct costs of dramatically expanding immigration-enforcement agencies and courts to deport roughly 11 million people would already cost the US government an estimated $400 billion to $600 billion.

Donald Trump's deportation plan would be an economic nightmare
Hell of an investment for more Nanny State madness, todays Above Top Security members will love the idea. And I'm one of them, in a way.
Fascinating!

So I am not sure
Hello not sure. I am sure you are not sure how Trump won the Presidency either.
I very not sure about that too. How a con man conned 62 million people just because he had an R next to his name is beyond me. Like maybe if he had been smart and charismatic I could see it but he just straight up lied and people voted for his lies. It was like the watching the best worst used cars salesperson sale someone on a lemon.
I don't think a single long wall is going to keep out most people in our modern age.
I think it's a waste of money that could be used on another plan to enforce immigration laws.
I want the laws to be enforced. I don't want my tax money to be wasted on a wall and then the ongoing upkeep of that wall that will go on forever.
Whos going to pay for it?
I think you want a wall, Trump promissed a wall and he is the president, you should get your wall.
But its a mistake to build walls in a global economy,
i will be more comfortable with giving that money to local law enforcement in the states that share the border to help with the detection and further deportation of undocumented migrants. A wall its a step backwards imo
If Trump would have run under the democratic ticket with his same ideas, he would have still won.

I'm right there with ya!
The only thing that might have hindered him was the pre-determined primary, but if he could have gotten the Democratic nomination, I would have voted Democrat.
That's what a lot of the posters are missing, the thing they can't seem to wrap their heads around: Party means nothing to an awful lot of people. Workable ideas and a willingness to follow through after election... that's what matters!
