Mexico must pay for the wall and, until they do, the United States will, among other things: impound all remittance payments derived from illegal wages; increase fees on all temporary visas issued to Mexican CEOs and diplomats (and if necessary cancel them); increase fees on all border crossing cards – of which we issue about 1 million to Mexican nationals each year (a major source of visa overstays); increase fees on all NAFTA worker visas from Mexico (another major source of overstays); and increase fees at ports of entry to the United States from Mexico [Tariffs and foreign aid cuts are also options]. We will not be taken advantage of anymore.
That survey doesn't count the ones born here when they count the ones "coming" here, so
is what is incorrect.

And out of all modern western nations, only TWO still have birthright citizenship. They shouldn't be citizens because their parents committed a crime to make that be.
Measuring migration flows between Mexico and the U.S. is challenging because there are no official counts of how many Mexican immigrants enter and leave the U.S. each year.

Honestly if Trump were elected I do not expect him to keep any promises he has made and he will simply tell people they are stupid to believe everything they are told and they should learn a lesson from it.

What does that have to do with the UN and Western Union?
I thought we were discussing Trump's plans regarding the wall at the Mexican border.
What does the UN and Western Union have to do with the topic?
The Mexican data sources — a national household survey, and two national censuses — asked comparable questions about household members’ migration to and from Mexico over the five years previous to each survey or census date. In addition, estimates of Mexican migration to the U.S. come from U.S. Census Bureau data, adjusted for undercount, on the number of Mexican immigrants who live in the U.S.
So pardon me if I don't find it completely accurate.

Ummm...what it tells me is that he's just another idealistic dreamer...out stumping for the cartels...So your telling us all that meth and crack and heroin are great...that you'd really like your child to have the ability to go down to the local quickie mart and score a bag of brown...along with milk and cookies of course...
...I was merely pointing out to you the reality of what such a future might be like...you implied legalizing crack and meth and heroin...etc...was a good thing...yet you take offense at how that might play out in your own small circle to your own children...not such a pretty thing to consider when it hit's that close to home...then you get defensive...a natural reaction...
assuming a whole lot of other stuff which I never once said.

Ummm...sorry...none of what you just wrote makes any difference...because there is a good deal of evidence that genetic factors...play a role in addictive behavior...
I do agree that there needs to be reform on the criminalization front...keep the users out of jail...fine them heavily instead and/or spend that money that would have been used to incarcerate on support and treatment...keep the dealers in...works for me...

Your claim of me not thinking this through rings specious when clearly you have yet to consider how what you champion might end up affecting you and those you hold dear...
