Wow, I can't believe I've missed the irony of Trumps "they're bringing rapists" statement until just now.
Does anyone have an argument in favor of the wall? Is the cornerstone of Trumps campaign, someone must believe it's a good idea

That's like, exactly the same reason Tump is for building a wall...
The Great Wall of China was made as a defense specifically against Mongolians military power. Mexico isn't exactly trying to invade the u.s.
if I sent 1 million people into a foreign country do you think they'd see that as an invasion? now imagine of I sent 20 million people into that country? would it look more like an invasion.
Vincente Fox was encouraging mexicans to cross the border, it is in fact an invasion

Yeah, the problem is, a lot of illegal aliens usually don't work fast food or at any corporation that pays with a check. Usually companies that pay with a check are very strict about who they hire, you have to have a valid social security number to be employed by them.
Instead, they work jobs like picking fruit for farmers and construction work and things like that, who pay below minimum wage in cash. So you would have to have a team of people surveillancing the employees, and coming to verify all their documentation at these types of places.
would you stop talking out of your ass, you know nothing about illegals and work

Has a rapist ever crossed the US-Mexico border? Yes Which direction were they probably (calculated by comparing rapists crossing Mexico->US and vice versa) headed? South. Was Trumps statement a gross mischaracterization? Yes, intuitively, undocumented immigrants will behave much better in the states than native citizens, for fear of being deported

maybe you'd like to show us where you managed to get get your figures because the estimates show between 11 million and 27 million illegals are in the US and if you watch the old westerns, sure, mexico was the place to be if you were wanted by the law but in the last hundred years that's certainly changed
now can you actually show us that trump was wrong with his claim
Quote:

well isnt that a heaping pile of horse shit, if they crossed the border once illegally, what stops them from doing it again, do you think that when they're deported they somehow, magically lose the ability to cross the border illegally again, that it's somehow a one shot trip?
if they were really worried then why would so many of them get DUIs, rape charges, murder charges.... oh, that's because Obama doesnt want to punish the people with brown skin

Hitler promised economic progress. He realized that progress by getting everybody to work making guns, bombs, tanks, fighter planes, creating jobs a plenty but it would only pay off if they.. went to war.
Trump does it differently. He commissions an ENORMOUS architectural project. A wall so big that it can be seen from space. From shining sea to shining sea. Grand as the Pyramids, grand as China's wall, and it has TRUMP written all over it, just like his other projects.
This wall will create many many jobs. Economic prosperity, just like with Hitler. Imagine such a wall. It would take at least eight years to build it. It would require many building contractors and the like, but he knows some, right?
THAT WALL WILL NEVER BE PROFITABLE. WALLS NEVER ARE.
What it will do is give a huge spurt of economic prosperity all the way through his presidency and maybe beyond, creating this absolutely nonsensical waste of resources. Enough time for him and his friends to stuff their pockets as THEY let THE POOR build it from YOUR MONEY.

Crumist said: I don't see it as inherently racist, but rather as ineffective and a waste of money. We already have a border fence (like the great wall, divided into thousands of sections, as the terrain demands) and our border security allocates funds as it sees fit. Were Trump some national security expert or have any expertise in this area, I'd give the thought much more credence. But I don't see the people actually working the border calling for some concrete wall. I'd imagine most desire even more mundane things like more agents, larger/more crossing stations, more aircraft.
As with all things, there is a law of diminishing returns. In my opinion we already spend too much on securing the southern border. The solution to illegal crossings from the south is to reform immigration and legalize them. Yet every time congress appears it is going to work on precisely this issue, somebody (whom I can only assume is disinterested in seeing immigration reformed) cries "But the border isn't secure, First we must secure the border! What about those already here!? No Amnesty for Illegals!!"
When will the southern border be considered "secure" enough to move on and address the other immigration issues? For some I think the answer to this question is "never," as they don't intend to allow debate to continue. We can never prevent 100% of illegal border crossings as a practical matter. Some US-Canada crossings are an empty guard-post inside which you are supposed to call and then wait for a border agent. To turn the perimeter of our country into some sort of prison wall is near impossible, unless perhaps all citizens were the imprisoned laborers supporting some dystopian state. A state whose singular function is to patrol the border walls.
Addressing the race issue; its not as if there is some 'brown tide' of Hispanic people overwhelming our nation. Illegal immigration ebbs and flows and is currently in a trough in my understanding. The average American isn't going to see some huge improvement after all of the cheap labor is gone. Grossly overestimating that illegal immigrants make up 8% of our workforce and their deportation leads to an 8% raise across the board, don't forget prices also will rise, and now you are picking strawberries in the sun all day (or maybe in your version, its all the bums who magically start working the fields)
"The solution to illegal crossings from the south is to reform immigration and legalize them"
So your solution is to reward any person in the world to cross the Southern border and make them a US citizen? 
So what is the point of even having a country called the United States? What is the point of US citizenship? It all becomes meaningless under your approach.

If the wall construction is going to cost $12 billion and the illegals living in the US cost over $130 billion per year, wouldn't the wall offer an excellent return on investment for US taxpayers? Yes it would.

Statistics relevant to this subject are going to be very hairy, so I'm not going to bother. On my side, the rape rate in the US is presently and historically higher than in Mexico (currently 2x). Also, until recently, the group of people fleeing S illegally was a group extremely selective of violent criminals, as there was no extradition treaty and Mexico's law enforcement lagged behind the US. Given our cooperation, and top notch police across the both nations, a Mexican fugitive would be smart to flee further south.
On your side, there are many people (who come through, but increasingly not from Mexico) who have crossed illegally into the US, say 12mil (where the fuck are you getting 27? You can't just double a reasonable estimate and add some). By comparison, 1mil Americans live in Mexico.
Fun fact I just learned, the largest US group of expats lives in Mexico and is also Mexico's largest group of foreigners. The inverse is also true, we wuv one another

I thought statistics on this subject were going to be 'very hairy' and here you are making a statistical claim with no actual foundation, citations or even so much as a reach around
maybe the reason the rape statistics in mexico are so low because all the rapists came to the US or maybe it's because rape is far less of a crime in mexico given that the age of consent is 12 years old and human trafficking is common place in that backward, corrupt country where Catholicism is the law of the land and girls that were raped are forced to marry the rapist so once married no rape took place the fact that mexico has to make a law forbidding it shows that it's a common

The flagrant issue there is that crime is almost always a state matter... Except when it involves a foreign national If any group (exception being men) was committing close to that percentage of crimes, I'd grab my gun and help you run that group out, I swear.

The $130 billion figure AFAIK comes from here http://www.fairus.org/publications/the-fiscal-burden-of-illegal-immigration-on-united-states-taxpayers Im still making my way through the PDF, but I have some big reservations about their methodology and leaning towards your opinion so far. Here are some summarized criticisms (which I haven't read, only searched for to prevent biasing myself) of the paper https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/statistical-hot-air-fair%e2%80%99s-usa-report-lacks-credibility

I never called for making them citizens.
Rather than focusing on morality (btw, what happens to morality when refugees, especially children, fleeing violence and religious persecution are seeking entry?) How about economics? Clearly there is a need for all those workers for them to risk crossing the border (which is, objectively, increasingly dangerous and difficult) here in the US. Lets document the fuckers and permit some actual research and transparency on the subject. Plus moar taxe$! We need an expanded guest worker program, denying entry to a small lottery and uber-educated foreigners is clearly not cutting it.
Or do you not care about the legality at all? Even Trump argues for allowing "them" to come here legally.

These are similar to the reservations I first imagined you would have, and hard figures are difficult to come by regarding # of rapists in the US, but especially Mexico, or the number of illegal US->Mexico crossings. Proving, over history, whether more rapists went US->Mexico or Mexico->US is impossible with current data. I listed some general points and its clear you will hold on to your preconceived notion and I onto mine (also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_statistics#Rape_statistics_by_country)
