A wall doesn't hold anybody out if it was never finished.
A wall with doors doesn't hold anybody out if the people who hold the key keep it unlocked and open at all times.

What I want to see is a shoot-to-kill law passed in Congress. Who to shoot? Anybody who hires an illegal. I know that would kill many Trumptards in Texas who compete with me. Too bad, so sad, but to stop the flow of illegals requires stopping Americans from hiring illegals. When will House Republicans pass that shoot-to-kill law?

You're letting your Arthur Fleck bleed out again.
I already said that anybody caught doing it should have assets frozen and their business shut down and MASSIVE penalties for anyone hiring them for the household, which is just about every rich Democrat in California too.
But you can't stop there.
No anchor babies. No free school. No free medical care. No free housing... even free cages.
Nothing. Let them know that there is NOTHING here for them, other to die in the streets like our own homeless citizens do.
Noboody is going to come here when Democrats aren't giving them free shit anymore.
P.S. The thumbnail to your video isn't a wall. That's hardly a fence.

Quote:That wall was the one Trump chose out of all the different designs. If you wanted a better wall, it is all Trump's fault. As for my "shoot-to-kill people who hire illegals" law, it ain't gonna happen because it is far too quick and brutal for Congress. Congressmen hate, absolutely hate, making irrevocable decisions that would upset their voters. That is why Congress has not made a declaration of war since 1942. It is too much scary responsibility for easily frightened Congressmen to handle.

Declarations of War by Congress

Your ideas are a bunch of litigation, which is slow and exactly the kind of non-lethal and totally ineffective solutions Congressmen love to write into law. I look forward to many years of committee hearings about precisely what will be written as new law. I expect nothing will pass out of Congress.

You're never going to see anybody pass a law where American Citizens get shot without a trial, so that's just pure fantasy on your part.
When (and not if) things get bad enough, and the right people are in office, we will shoot foreign invaders to kill.
That's not an outcome that needs to happen if we completely financially disincentivize them from coming here in the first place, and then use those policies retroactively on any criminal invaders living here now. For them, we could let them know that with no access to free money and no ability to work for money here, our final government subsidy to them will be to escort them back over the Southern Border

Strongmen Leaders and the Infallibility Trap
Posted on Monday, Feb 6, 2023 1:50AM by Thomas Wells
It is easy to become exasperated with democracy. Various factions bicker and maneuver against each other in an endless grubby contest for power, hypocritically appealing to a shared public interest while continuously generating and sustaining social divisions. Things that are necessary do not get done, lost amidst the endless dithering, quibbling, and bargaining for advantage. Things that should not be done become official policies against all common sense, seemingly as a way of trolling the opposition.
So it is disappointing but perhaps not surprising that people around the world are increasingly likely to endorse the strongman theory of government, that “a strong leader who does not have to bother with parliament and an election is a good way to run the country”.
A strongman government has two major attractions compared to democracy. First, it promises wise and benevolent rule: undistracted by factions motivated by political interests the strong leader will be freed to make wiser, better decisions in the national interest. Second, it promises decisiveness: without the endless bickering and second-guessing, strong leaders can get on and do what needs to be done.
Let us start with the virtue of wise and benevolent leadership. It is easily observed that democracies are far from wise. This should not be surprising if you consider that voters have little interest at stake in making voting choices well because – unlike when weighing up even trivial decisions like what sandwich to buy – they know that their choice will not decide the outcome. So voters mostly choose on the basis of things irrelevant to the policy platforms of politicians, in particular as a way of expressing their social identity. In addition, few people of great capability are willing to put themselves forward for the thankless task of public service, especially given the many easier and more rewarding careers available to such people in a free society. Hence the low ability and excessive confidence of most candidates for political office in democracies. The result is that democracies are emphatically not governed by wise statesmen in the interest of society as a whole.
Nonetheless, merely because democracy isn’t great doesn’t mean that autocracy is better.

You mean like Trudeau ruining lives of truckers protesting? Or the entire continent of Australia on lockdown and forcing them into concentration camps if they refused the jab? Or many of the state governors in the US claiming "emergency powers" for themselves and shutting down everyone's businesses? Or Joe Biden* using OSHA to mandate vaccinations?
I know you dipshits are talking about what's going to happen in 2 years, but we're already living it.

I also know people like this McGowan, emergency room physician, who is nothing like you: They cursed her out for telling them they had the virus. “I have heard so many people say, ‘I don’t care if I make someone sick and kill them,’” McGowan says. Their ruthlessness simultaneously terrified and enraged her — not least because she had an immunocompromised husband at home. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/moral-injury-is-an-invisibl

All the people I know like you, 6ix, vote for Trump. They also struggle to stay in the middle class, mainly because they have a huge repertoire of non-adaptive beliefs and behaviors that Trump knows how take advantage of. Meanwhile, the McGowans are nothing like you. Neither am I. We prosper.
Trump knows how his Trumptards think. So do I because his Trumptards are all around Texas. The Trumptards don't do well (except in their own estimations) because of their non-adaptive beliefs and behaviors, and they sure are mad about it, but not willing to change those attitudes they learned while still children from maladjusted parents.

Quote:You are made of the common clay. You'd do much better in life if you stopped imagining yourself as unique and special and deserving of Jesus's Love or whatever embarrassing subterranean religious impulses that are driving you and the average Trumptards to act in ways unfortunate for you.
