hundreds of stories on this and not a single idea.
It really boggles my mind that so many people can be 'enraged' without asking the most basic question: "Why"

Welfare, I will try to answer “Why” in terms of why people are still entering the US illegally despite the zero tolerance policy.
Do not assume that I did not ask myself this question when I made my last post on this thread.
The United States is still seen by many people in developing countries as a developed country that can give people the opportunity to have a better quality of life. A better quality of life in terms of better job opportunities and for families a better education for their kids compared to Mexico and many countries such as those in Central and South America.
Therefore, people from countries such as Mexico will do anything they can to enter the US, legally or illegally.
For example, four of my cousins immigrated legally to the US over twenty five years ago through family sponsorship of one of my aunts and uncles. This part of my extended family lived in Venezuela for well over a decade.
We all know what kind of a shit show Venezuela is in terms of standard of living (jobs, economy, crime).
As for suggestions to reduce illegal immigration to the US in a viable way, I do not have one.
Having said that, Trump’s proposal of building a wall on the US and Mexico border and recuperating some of the construction costs from Mexico is not a viable solution either.
Do some people really think an expensive wall will be an effective deterrent against illegal entry through the US/Mexico border?
People would just think of other ways to enter the US illegally.
Let’s see how effective this zero tolerance policy is as a deterrent against illegal entry to the US.
Can somebody show us statistics, data, on the number of people entering the US illegally through the US/Mexico border before and after the zero tolerance policy?
Is there any data available?
