    The far right: the government needs to be reigned in and cut because it is corrupt.

    The far left: lets cut ICE.

    The far right: damnit, not that agency!

    The first casualties of President Trump’s trade war are 60 workers at Mid-Continent Nail, America’s largest nail manufacturer. They lost their jobs on June 15 at a factory in a part of Missouri that voted overwhelmingly for Trump. The whole company could be out of business by Labor Day.
    Mid-Continent Nail blames the layoffs on Trump’s tariffs, and the company says all 500 employees could lose their jobs by Labor Day. The next round of cuts could come in a matter of days....

    The trouble for the company started at the end of May when Trump put a hefty 25 percent tariff on steel imports from Mexico and Canada. Mid-Continent had been importing steel from Mexico that American workers would then turn into nails.

    After the tariff, the company was forced to hike its prices, and customers fled. Orders are a mere 30 percent of what they were a year ago, said George Skarich, the vice president of sales. He suspects many customers are now buying Chinese nails.

    One of us misunderstood the other.

    Our Border Patrol, if they see someone approaching the border, does not physically stop them from entering the U.S,, right?

    They let them cross, and take them into custody.

    At which point, there's a process, that either requires detention, or that allows the person to be released into the country, until a hearing can be held.

    Either of these options bears a cost, and there doesn't seem to be much of an appetite among many of us to deport anyone once they're actually here, especially if they claim refugee status, regardless of the strength of the case, and/or if children are involved.

    All of which means we have no border enforcement.

    A physical barrier that actually prevented people from crossing the border would resolve a lot of this, and even increase in Border Patrol agents only means an increase in apprehensions, not a more secure border.

    No. We either get completely open borders with mariachi bands running riot in the streets or completely closed borders and a country pretty much the same as North Korea with a tyrant who has a slightly worse haircut.

    At least you didn't try to pawn this meme off as your own words.
