Reminds me of an episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia from a year or two ago. Charlie spends all episode moving heaven and Earth so the bar can pass a health inspection, making a big deal about everything needing to be done a certain way, they pass, and the rest of the gang is like "Wow, way to freak out over nothing. That went fine for us"

The same thing happens with anti-vaxxers. "They made us all get flu shots, and then there was no flu epidemic after all. I guess it was just a big freak-out over nothing!"

It's great when people say 'shut the border' like that's a thing that can be simply done. There are 330 ports of entry between the US and Mexico, and it is the most heavily trafficked border in the world. 350 million documented crossing annually, and critical to both countries. The border has never been closed, there is probably no real procedure or plan in place to accomplish such a thing. There are millions of people that cross the border daily because they work on one side and live on the other, and you'd have to work out what to do about all those people. If a US citizen lives in Mexico and comes in to work daily, are you going to refuse them entry at the border? If you close the border and a Mexican citizen has been working in the US, are you going to forbid them from leaving? Assuming you figure out a way to actually do this, Mexico exports fuel to the US and imports agricultural products. I bet all those farmers are going to be excited when their corn market collapses right on the heels of the soybean massacre.

Trump is holding the gun to his head and threatening to shoot everyone with it. Its explicitly, this will be chaos and I will drag us into it if you dont give me my poo poo.

And none of this is even getting into the fact that it's just nakedly using the military to extort money out of a sovereign nation like loving Attila the Hun.

I think a very sizable portion of the US public not only would be completely in favor of this, but continues to be upset because US foreign policy isn't naked enough about the extortion.

To be honest, these farmers will probably welcome and applaud it. They are already quoted saying they approved of what Trump did with tariffs AFTER they lost money. Some will say its good that there's no illegal workers now, while staring out on their own fields that are wasting away. happyhippy fucked around with this message at 18:57 on Jan 4, 2019 |
