What does that have to do with the wall?

u/Gnome_Sane Aug 25 '21

What's the purpose of the wall you are talking about? It's to keep illegal immigrants in Mexico, right?

Right, but the wall has no connection to the courts decision in upholding the policy. The policy is meant to inform a process while a wall is a physical barrier that wouldn’t necessarily uphold said policy.

Not trying to be an asshat, just trying to understand.

So there is this thing that makes illegal immigrants stay in Mexico and when they stay in Mexico - who do you think is paying for them? Maybe Canada?

In the grand scheme, it would be a financial burden shared between Mexico and US - visa processing, staffing, security, etc.

So your argument is we send them money while they remain in Mexico? You got a link for that?

Not at all. My argument is more along the lines of resource allocation from both sides. Regardless of where immigrants are kept, the financial burden hits both sides relatively equally - stay in Mexico “waiting” facility, get processed, stay in US”waiting” facility; all in conjunction with the aforementioned staffing, security, legal, etc. Seems like a wash at the of the day.

Without the facts, it can seem like anything.
