Not once in the 8 years prior when bush was the guy in office did we need to build a wall.. Nope only after it was Obama in office. Now yet another 4 years later it's the end of the world once again because of immigrants.
Immigration is just the 4 year itch that comes back into play every time it's close to an election.. Meanwhile all those farmers sure don't seem to be complaining about illegals when it comes time to harvest..

We need to build a wall across our borders no matter what. We have a method for people to become US citizens; People need to obey this law not just enter the country illegally.
With that said... Bush, shortly before he left office (as our economy was collapsing) signed a bill demanding these people get a hearing - which is what the problem is now. Seems they do this in DC all the time - they sign a bill but don't fund it. Great, now all of these people cannot be deported until after they have had hearings. Being as they didn't give anyone any money to make this happen, basically all of these people are let go into the general society and forgotten about. We have a bill in Congress that the House refuses to vote on, and instead of giving anyone any money to do anything about this issue Congress wants to talk about it.
You already see what's happening here.... The Republican party is going to refuse to deal with this until the last possible moment and then say "The Democrats failed" and then "We just voted on a bill to take care of this problem". That's bullshit politics.
Fix the problem now.
