Thread: Would Trump really build his wall? (ALIPAC)

Here are my thoughts on how President Donald Trump can discourage illegal immigration and reduce the cost of building the wall at the same time. He can ask congress to pass two laws:

1) Illegal immigration is a criminal offense that is punishable up to six months in jail. Of course this does not apply to minors.

2) Every day that any illegal immigrant volunteers to help build the border fence and border wall will have their prison sentence reduced by six days. They will not be paid.

Illegal immigrants who want to be free sooner will help to build the wall. Immigrants who do not help build the border fence will face 180 days in prison, but those that do help build the fence will serve 30 days in prison.

After the fence is build, this “chain gang” would build a “wall” made from the local natural materials. Villages in Mexico build the walls for their houses using the local material on the land such as rocks and clay. Illegal immigrants who volunteer to help build the wall can use the materials that they find to construct it.

The immigrants will live in "tent cities" near their work site, and they will help construct the tent cities also. Having television images of illegal immigrants working on the wall will help discourage a lot of foreigners thinking about breaking into the United States. The cost of building the wall and the fence will drop because of the free labor. Their punishment will be cheaper since their sentence will be dropped from six months to one month.

I like your attitude, but we need good high tech walls that require better skills then provide by illegal immigrants. If illegal immigrants are building our walls, there is also a good possibility that they would fool with the walls to make them penetrable by other illegals.

Working is a privilege in prisons and also requires mobility, something that illegals cannot be trusted with in jail. No parole for illegals either, they would just run back across the border.
