BORDER: Three options

Securing our southern border has three easy solutions:

1. Trump: Build a wall.

2. Obama: Who declared that America has a disproportionate share of the world’s wealth. His suggestion was that wealth should be shared with other countries, in keeping with his socialist ideology.

As other countries’ prosperity increased, our standard of living would decrease. As Mexico’s, for instance, standard of living increased and Americans’ decreased, no one would have an incentive to enter America illegally.

3. Give back to Mexico the land we stole from them in the 19th century. Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah and parts of several other states.

Which of these three alternatives do you prefer?
