Victim culture is the culture where people are raised to believe they have no agency, leading to a frustrating indentured life with little hope for change.
How would you reform these cultures to make them less harmful to society?

The wall is mostly symbolic to the people of the country that says we have a right...as a nation...to build a monument to the law and order that preserves the way of life in America. That's functionally much more important to the long term survival of the nation than the ancillary stoppage of ambulatory migrants.

Prirate is correct. Supporting a wall is DE FACTO supporting legal immigration as less illegals using limited resources allows them to be allocated to the legal citizens and legal migrants.

@linate
or, why build a wall then?
So that we can put people of all colors under citizenship tests instead of spending billions of dollars to track them down with ICE to see if they are socialist commies or criminals or if they are decent people assimilating into America.

it's highly unlikely that the culture of a person can be discovered by putting their skin under a lamp over a legal citizenship test.

What's the big problem with letting in Blacks that embrace western values, liberty, democracy, and a free market?
If they can go through the legal process and demonstrate that they will be an asset to the country by embracing these core values of American culture, what's the problem? Every illegal alien stopped at the border is one more resource freed up to handle a legal immigrant of any color.

All politicians do, because they have the right to vote.
It's a solid reason to promote indoctrination media streams and declining education venues to create more lemmings.
Apparently the deep state does not yet have enough lemmings to keep someone like Trump from ruining their status quo power. And they would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those pesky meddling deplorables....

President Donald Trump has ordered staff to execute the "full" and "rapid" withdrawal of US military from Syria, declaring that the US has defeated ISIS.
Is anyone surprised at all by this move? Is this in line with Trump's Isolationist stance?
Might Russia and Iran leave Syria now that America is no longer a player in the region?

Ideally, the best state to be first in the primaries would be the state with the fewest extremist voters from all parties. Those kinds of states usually don't make it to the catchy news headlines of MSM.

Familiar with strengths of bio-diversity. Universe exists by its diversification of many types of particles into two basic classes.Those two classes work in complement to each other not in competition to each other.
Pretty sure there's plenty of competition in Nature. The Two basic classes are the quick and the dead. But the Swiss have no genetic tolerance for spaghetti westerns. The Swiss are a 3rd class.

How do you feel about the 70 billion dollars remittances to India? Does it help develop India and make India strong?
Are remittances the modern day equivalent to colonialism? If so, that would be pretty ironic now that India is the top remittance receiver in the world.

The alternative is to force all people to be born with similar DNA and be raised in a singular environment/culture.
That's a solution humanity does not need to solve inequality.

What would you do to stop the Coyotes from fleecing poor people with lies and putting children's lives at risk with promises of false riches?
It's no surprise that the Father now wants to ship his daughter's ashes back home to her mother in Honduras while he gets to stay and ride the gravy in America. His lawyers (thanks Soros) have advised him not to say anything bad about the border patrol and to pretend that his daughter was just fine during the illegal coyote run across the desert.

Who cares about the wealth gap? the relative number of ultra rich people in America is pretty low, as well as the number of ultra- poor people. Most of the people in America are in between rich and poor. Socialist paradises like Brazil and Venezuela have no middle class, certainly not like America has.
Why would you want America to turn into Venezuela...unless of course you secretly hate America as a Swiss nationalist.
15% of americans are below the middle class in America, and according to that CBS article, "76 percent of Venezuelans are now under the poverty line, compared with 52 percent in 2014."
Why would you want 76% of Americans to live like that?

<> = octahedral geometry of few poor and few rich with huge amount of middle class is most sustainable pathway forward for humanity
We already have that in America, land of the free, where relatively few are on welfare and relatively few are billionaires.
Or we could be like Brazil and Venezuela where everyone in power controlling the guns is rich, and everyone else is not.

It doesn't matter how much wealth America has. It cannot force migrants mostly raised under Authoritarian socialist regimes to take care of their kids and not trade their children's lives for money. Not unless you think America should use its wealth to start confiscating children from authoritarian socialist countries where this problem occurs, or simply nuke all authoritarian socialist countries and replace them with freedom, liberty and democracy. Think we already tried doing that though, and the indigenous people still chose to have authoritarian socialism there.

@Castin
Put it this way....imagine that the many migrants (instead of Capone and his sympathizers upset with how the FBI can take down anyone arbitrarily with perjury traps) were upset at ICE...where is the mechanism for these people and their supporters to reform ICE? It's the same mechanism for reforming the FBI.

@Castin
Because at some point, if the people are upset at how the FBI is being handled, there should be some mechanism for the people to reform/replace people in the FBI. That's the founding father's spirit when they crafted the constitution to safeguard democracy.
Of course there exists that mechanism, but it's not talked about for obvious partisan reasons.

So much for that fantasy that the government, and by extension...all the alphabet agencies... are accountable to the people. The things people teach kids these days...

This story is infuriating, makes me mad, this was a needless death. However, the blame is not to fall on the American government for this one. The blame is to fall on those that mislead the migrants, painting a picture of riches to come and coaching them to come in big groups for "safety" and also to crush the border. The responsibility of that lost 7 year old life lies solely on the hands of the parents that made the little one walk for days in the desert, without proper food and water. The mom stayed behind in Honduras with the rest of the family. Why did the dad bring the child only? And did he not notice that she was not doing well during the trip? He claims he did not (would she have not tripped thousands of times, cried out of hanger and thirst during her journey?....Apparently not) And, if her own father did not notice, why should an agent, catch this right away? As the story unfolds and is properly reported: A group of 4 agents caught 163 people at least 90 miles away from the nearest processing station around 10 pm. They were so many that they could not transport all of them at once. There was no cell reception and no paved roads, it was dark. The agents spoke Spanish just like the Dad. The dad never mentioned she was sick, she looked ok to him. The agents had to make several trips to take them, on the first trip they took 50 unaccompanied minors. Dad and girl started their journey around 4.30 to the processing station. Everybody was offered food and water, it was too late for her. Her body could not resist the long journey. She got septic shock (the ultimate cause of her death), had high fever. They tried but could not save her. Neither Dems or Republicans or government is to blame for this death. A family took a chance with a life. The gamble did not pay off. The parents are to blame, period. America does not need migrants that don't care about their kids. Yet another reason to build a wall to protect our country from being overrun with irresponsible parents using their children as moneymakers.

Right. The father is completely blameless for what we do know which is that the child had no food and water for several days.
----according to a statement from CBP, she “reportedly had not eaten or consumed water for several days.”
