I endorse segregation from parasites.
By all means, build the fucking wall. Yesterday, if possible.
But it's not possible. In the real world, the parasites are here, now, among us.
Tick removal is not as straightforward as just yanking them out, is it? You can cause collateral damage. Sure, that's ok if you're a grown ass man, but if it's your daughter, you tell your wife to calm the fuck down and just hold your little girl still so you can do something intelligent that leaves minimal scarring.
The parasites are here, now, among us. Without health support, they will spread disease. Without food support, they will rob, murder, (at greater rates than they already do) and you guessed it, spread more disease.
Think for a second how hard it would be, as a logistical challenge, even through policies that we simply do not have the political will to enact, to round up and exterminate even just 6 million parasites.
We have at least 22 million illegal immigrants here. Now they're not ALL parasites, sure, but who cares? If we're being realistic, the Commie virus is already doing more than our politicians ever would to send folks back to Mexico en masse.
As for the rest? Cheaper and safer--for now--to just keep them topped up with Monsanto and electronic distractions.
When things go back to normal, after the election, my prediction is that Trump is gonna weaponize the corporate prison system against illegals and give the job vacancies to blacks. It's gonna be slow, but this was always gonna be a war of attrition.
After all, the job is considerably bigger than 6 million.
