    and it's also easier to bribe a cbp agent. There was even a cbp agent that turned out to be a serial killer. Like everywhere in life, there are bad people no matter what they hide behind, politics, a badge,ice, cbp, a church etc etc.
    here is the story of the border patrol agent serial killer, they didn't give him a catchy name though.

    Just this past 2 years 100s of arrested employees for bribery.

    Not sure which way you are arguing here, but it goes back a lot further than that.

    It's not Mexico -- it's Central America, traveling through Mexico. But perhaps you were being facetious.

    To be fair and objective, you also have to take into account the doubling of the work force that was brought about by the fairer sex entering the labor force en masse starting in the 60s/70s. To me, that's what has depressed wages as much as anything. But there are probably several factors at work here, including illegal immigration.

    Illegal immigration has little effect on wages besides min wage work and even then there is a federal and state limit to how low you can pay legal workers.

    Illegal immigration has no discernible effect on skilled labor.

    I guess bribing law enforcement officers isn't just a problem in Mexico.

    just give it up dude...you have already shown everyone how ignorant you are and how little you actually follow politics with your claims that beto is the mayor of el paso. youre a partisan hack b/c time and time again you put trump over your own country. youre also a hack b/c you threw out the baseless conspiracy theory that el paso firefighters are liars who inflated the #'s at betos rally because they are beto supporters..you have zero evidence of this, but you are such a partisan hack that you cant stand that he had that many people come out to his rally so you spend all your time accusing firefighters of being liars.

    im voting straight ticket democract b/c trumpublicans are "the enemies of the american people" and they gave me no other option. once the trumpbulican s***stains are wiped away i can go back to voting 3rd party like i used to always do.

    lol...youre just all over the place arent you? again, you cant refute any facts so this is all you have i guess

    why do you keep lying?

    you made the false claim (lie) that most americans are in favor of a wall and now youre going off on some nonsensical tangent about how democrats "want to do away with the very first two amendments" - show me where democrats are doing this.

    once again, youre lying, but i guess its all the trumpublicans have at this point.

    Jo, you are literally the definition of a deranged partisan. You are so unable to argue, that you just repeat yourself a million times. You're an NPC.

    Their actions show their hatred of the Bill of Rights. You blind partisan.

    Republicams have been no better though, refusing to walk back damages to those freedoms. They are all crooks and self serving political scum.

    again, what actions? be specific.

    you said, and i quote..."your lunatic party wants to do away with the very first two amendments(hilarious)".

    back up what you are saying here with proof. where did the DNC say they want to do away with the very first two amendments?

    Here - have a read of these articles on a Yale / MIT study on the subject.

    https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/sep/24/yale-study-finds-us-illegal-immigrant-population-s/

    As for the declining numbers - as I said I have two friends who are BP agents , one of them a Chief Patrol Agent over his sector , their numbers show something totally different from what the media keeps reporting - in fact , one of them posted the following today -

    Take it for what its worth ….

    well they're as credible as other reputable school or news organization findings either pro or anti full vanity wall

    thats why I didn't even bother commenting on them

    Just for the record - the person that posted those statistics is not "pro full vanity wall". His position is similar to mine - strategic locations , a total of about 220 more miles here in Texas.

    Anyone who wants the whole sea to shining sea wall is off their fuggin rocker.

    Whats a bigger concern, that the acting secretary of defense doesn't deem trump's vanity wall being needed as a response to a so-called national emergency... or that it would be needed to state that the administration would follow laws, rules and not "bending the rules".
