So what are desperate people from Honduras with no family in the US and no special skills supposed to do? Take the chance that they will win the lottery? Or enter the US and argue their refugee status in court after "catch and release"

Are you just trying to make idiotic statements?

Look at the diaspora of people fleeing Venezuela, a communist paradise.

They are going all over.

The US is not the only country.

Once Trump said:

Quote
I will build a great, great wall on our southern border. And I will have Mexico pay for that wall.

He didn't know, that Great Wall is already build in China over a thousand years ago?

More lying. It just happens you cannot fool me with this talk because I know a bit about El Nino and those weather patterns. Deal with it; it is a normal weather pattern and a normal drought. You can't just lie your way around the issue. Please stop making things up.
I have no reason to make stuff up.  You can know about normal el nino and it can be exacerbated by climate change. Both can be true. Take a look at this fact sheet that summarizes climate change impacts for honduras
I know a hundred people who came through the legal immigration, and a dozen in my immediate family. So you are lying/making things up yet again.
This doesn't go against my point that there are still large numbers of people with no practical path of immigration.  There is a difference bettween that and "no one can immigrate".  

....
The current "legal" immigration process is not reasonable and keeps most of these people out.  There is no point in submitting an application when all that does it make it so you can't come.....The FY2018 allocation for Latin America and the Caribbean is 1,500. FY2017 admissions totaled 1,688. ...

More lying/mistaken shit. Venezuela ALONE was 61,000.

Just check Wikipedia.

According to the 2016 Yearbook of Immigration Statistics, the United States admitted 1.18 million legal immigrants in 2016.[5] Of these, 20% were family-sponsored, 47% were the immediate relatives of U.S. citizens, 12% were employment-based preferences, 4% were part of the Diversity Immigrant Visa program, and 13% were refugees and/or asylum seekers.[5]

Ok so notice my quote came from FY2018 and FY2017 and your stats came from 2016, before Trump was president.  No one is saying we don't have any immigration.  Its just not an easy process especially if you are poor and under duress.  Anyone who can afford the time and resources to go through our legal immigration process is not really that desperate after all.  The caravaners are DESPERATE.

Trump's agenda is to shift our immigration policy to be "merit based" which means 12% employment based would be fine but the 4% of immigrants we are talking about would be shut out.

13% were refugees in 2016- The problem is most of the caravaners don't count as refugees by the  definition that the US uses, so if they apply without entering first, they will be declined because they are trying to escape violence that is not being directed at them because of race, nationality or political opinion.  

4% were diversity immigrant visa or "lottery" winners-  We take around 11,000 from Honduras.  Out of millions who want to come.

So what are desperate people from Honduras with no family in the US and no special skills supposed to do? Take the chance that they will win the lottery? Or enter the US and argue their refugee status in court after "catch and release"

We are at the bridge, THIS is us getting to it.  Honduras has suffered a historic drought at the same time of this instability.  Same with Syria and the horn of Africa.  
No, it's not. Again, you are wrong.

You just can't slap blame on climate change for every stupid political agenda item you are told to believe in over and over.
 
The idea is that the effects of el nino are exacerbated by climate change, and even if this event had nothing to do with climate change, it shows us how dramatic shifts in climate can disrupt agriculture and turn the people who rely on it into migrants.  It would be even more alarming if we can't deal with a simple el nino event with major climate crises on the way.    Since we refused to prevent climate change, we need to start shifting into response mode and think about how we will deal with the hundreds of millions misplaced by rising sea levels and food shortages.  Coral reef ecosystems are also dying with ocean acidification. 

If the areas where food can be produced move or shift, there HAS to be a way for the people who rely on that food to move as well.

People hate the "walls of Trump" because it is the supreme symbol of the differentiation of cultures and peoples, in contrast to the reigning modernism that claims that the oppressed have more rights than the “oppressors”, so the separation incites them hate these symbols.

The differentiation of peoples is something natural since the beginning of humanity, when these were united was when one surpassed the other and forced him to remain in this. In no way an uncontrolled union, even if it is a search for opportunities, is something natural or healthy for countries, as is evident throughout Europe.


well mexicans and aztecs also differentiated between themselves (culturally and geographically) and the tribes that they enslaved and sacrificed to their gods

I'm baffled by those who may support forward thinking initiatives such as Bitcoin and yet cheer Trump and his wall. There is nothing decentralized nor modern about a wall, it's totally old school and quite ineffective to boot. While should we look for information and currency to flow freely from nation to nation but block people from doing so? It won't stop illegal immigration - it'll cost a bunch, cause disputes and border issues, harm the environment,make people fleeing dependent upon criminals for passage, destabilize border towns on both sides, potentially trap people if any country becomes too dangerous; alienate allies on the continent, divide south America from North America and otherwise isn't any good for us as a species. Heck, that whole "me first isolationism" stuff that Trump spews is counter to the world that Satoshi envisioned when he / she / they created bitcoin.

Decentralized, global, transparent system......

You're either for the future or against it....

either for walls or for bridges....

I can only guess what Satoshi would likely say about Trump and his wall.

This is going to be a weird game of tower defence. The most massive tower defense game in hundreds of years.
Only it is not a game. Confrontation and standoff on the border. This wall will only become a reason of conflicts but won't affect the illigal migration traffic. These measures will increase the cost of help for illigal border crossing as I think.

Every applicant....

So you are wrong. Now be honest. You are either for unimpeded illegal entry, which MEANS no health screening, or you are for legal immigration, which means health screening. And we know you are for unimpeded illegal immigration, so stop the lying ("saying things that are false"/"being misinformed" blah-blah-blah) about being for health screening.

....
We are at the bridge, THIS is us getting to it.  Honduras has suffered a historic drought at the same time of this instability.  Same with Syria and the horn of Africa.  
No, it's not. Again, you are wrong.

You just can't slap blame on climate change for every stupid political agenda item you are told to believe in over and over.

The Government of Honduras declared State of Emergency in the Dry Corridor from August 15th until December 31st, 2018, to address the lack of water provoking a loss of crops. The drought, triggered by El Niño, affects 145 municipalities from 13 departments.

El Nino is a standard, ordinary and periodic weather event.
https://reliefweb.int/disaster/dr-2018-000106-slv

What are El Niño and La Niña?
El Niño and La Niña are opposite phases of a natural climate pattern across the tropical Pacific Ocean that swings back and forth every 3-7 years on average. Together, they are called ENSO (pronounced “en-so”), which is short for El Niño-Southern Oscillation.

https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/el-niño-and-la-niña-frequently-asked-questions

The ENSO pattern in the tropical Pacific can be in one of three states: El Niño, Neutral, or La Niña. El Niño (the warm phase) and La Niña (the cool phase) lead to significant differences from the average ocean temperatures, winds, surface pressure, and rainfall across parts of the tropical Pacific. Neutral indicates that conditions are near their long-term average.

The US already has a border.  People hate Trump's wall for many reasons....

Mainly international interests induce liberals to work against the wall because a porous open border would serious weaken the US. Just like it weakened Europe. That's what those international interests want.

The next "caravan" will be 100,000 or millions of people. They are organized for political purposes by people with motives.

The interest of the US is served by letting those in who we want in, not  hardened criminals and not those with certain infectious diseases.

It's our right to select who comes in, and it's not the right of whomever wants in to get in.

For just one example, a left wing radical communist like yourself. I wouldn't let you in the USA.
.....
Historically, people showed up at Ellis Island and were widely accepted.  Your idea of social engineering and selection of people based on racial quotas and an "ideal immigrant" is very new and reminds me of nazi Germany's desire to create a supreme race of people.  The US was built on multiculturalism and the quote on the statue of liberty should still hold merit.

I respect your honesty but the idea that you would discriminate against someone because their political views are different from yours is un-American.  Your desire to create a nation of people who only hold the views you hold is bigoted.  I would never suggest the denial of someone simply because we have difference of political opinion.  

A lot of people come to America to avoid that same sort of political persecution you are suggesting.  Have you no respect for diversity? Shame.  Your sense of urgency is alarming.  Why do you feel so threatened in the first place?  If your ideas are correct and righteous, shouldn't you have faith that they will win out and withstand the test of the time?
No, you are definitely one I would not let in, but you have not understood the reasons why.  That's fine with me. I wouldn't let you in because of your constant lying. As an example, your words, totally made up....

Historically, people showed up at Ellis Island and were widely accepted.  Your idea of social engineering and selection of people based on racial quotas and an "ideal immigrant" is very new

You obviously don't know or care about the actual facts about Ellis Island. For example, people with turberculosis were turned back there. Good policy, right? Accept only healthy people? And you don't know about country quotas either, right?

Of course you knew about those things, you're just lying because it suits you.

As for future caravans of climate change, sure...buddy....

We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

If I said something that was false, why would you assume I am lying?  Its the internet.  Why would I lie just to prove a point when you can easily access the facts.  If someone says something wrong, why not just assume they are misinformed instead of assuming they are evil and trying to trick you with a lie?

  I have no opposition of health screening but we aren't doing that anymore.  I'd love to setup ellis island centers all along the southern border with enough staffing and capacity to process anyone who wanted to come and give them health screening.  That would be fantastic.  Why do you assume people who disagree with you want to spread infectious diseases?

We are at the bridge, THIS is us getting to it.  Honduras has suffered a historic drought at the same time of this instability.  Same with Syria and the horn of Africa.

Are you sure Europe's issues can all be blamed on Schengen?  Nothing to do with the 2008 crisis or the aging population?

Future caravans will be bigger and bigger largely because of climate change.  We can expect hundreds of millions of climate refugees worldwide by the turn of the century as there will be more flooding, droughts, and failed states because of all of that.  I feel like the US should aim to have the largest acceptance rate.  Why should any other country be better equipped to handle refugees than our large nation that was founded on these very principles?
https://reliefweb.int/report/world/climate-migrants-might-reach-one-billion-2050


We have a very low population density and 100,000 refugees is hardly a drop in the bucket.  Our aging population demographics could be strengthened by a new influx of immigrants.

Ah yes, that's very important. Gotta make sure the wall meant to divide two countries doesn't look unwelcoming and cold to the great american children who Donald Trump saved from the evil, savage rapists he totally doesn't hate or who he totally didn't force to pay billions of dollars and impose sanctions when they refused.
Now if only we could invent some sort of a sound barrier to prevent the protesters and human rights activists complaints from the other side from reaching their ears…
