Mexican AG Arrested On Drug Charges (20)

Walls worked for Hadrian and Ariel Sharon and I'm quite partial to 4 walls and a ceiling myself. Who cares if they're not cool or popular.

While not exclusively about the wall, I found this poll to be interesting....
""An overwhelming majority of Americans believe that cities that arrest illegal immigrants for crimes should be required to turn them over to federal authorities.
The poll shows that President Trump has broad public support in his effort to crack down on sanctuary cities.
A survey from Harvard–Harris Poll provided exclusively to The Hill found that 80 percent of voters say local authorities should have to comply with the law by reporting to federal agents the illegal immigrants they come into contact with.
As it stands, hundreds of cities across the nation — many with Democratic mayors or city councils — are refusing to do so.
The Harvard–Harris Poll survey found strong support for an overhaul of the nation's immigration laws, with 77 percent saying they support comprehensive immigration reform against only 23 percent who oppose.
“While there is broad support for comprehensive immigration reform, there is overwhelming opposition to sanctuary cities,” said Harvard–Harris co-director Mark Penn. “The public wants honest immigrants treated fairly and those who commit crimes deported and that's very clear from the data.”
The crackdown on sanctuary cities is the most popular feature of those actions, followed closely by the directive to increase the border patrol, which is backed by 75 percent of voters.
The wall is the most divisive element of Trump’s plan, with 53 percent opposing its construction.
The online survey of 2,148 registered voters was conducted between Feb. 11 and 13. The partisan breakdown is 39 percent Democrat, 30 percent Republican, 27 percent independent and 5 percent other. The Harvard–Harris Poll survey is a collaboration of the Harvard Center for American Political Studies and The Harris Poll."""
As with the 53% who oppose the wall I'm not sold on the idea.
There are already plenty examples of existing sections of border walls being circumvented....tunneling, for example.
Just yesterday I saw a news story (wish I could remember where now) where border officials were frustrated about blocking these elaborate tunnels. They would fill them with cement....only legally up to the border wall...and the industrious traffickers would enter the tunnel from the Mexican side and then dig a new route around the blocked section.
A tunnel guard on the Mexican side was interviewed and alluded to six tunnels in one neighborhood....6! (And I also found it funny when he was asked what he did when cartel members approached a tunnel he was guarding, he relied that he would step aside and let them through
)
The cartels and traffickers have spent decades learning to circumvent measures to stop them from entering our border illegally. History suggests they'll be able to circumvent a new wall somehow.
But damn...I just HAD to include that Trump building the wall gif because I find it hilarious in a kindergarten-esque way
I just think money is better spent on more agents and better border surveillance techniques....and increased enforcement of existing immigration laws.
Come one, come all....just come legally.

So, How would you compare the Mexican AG's arrest on drug charges to Texas AG who was arrested last year and going to trial for securities fraud? 
Judge orders Ken Paxton trial moved out of Collin County and delayed
The judge in the securities fraud case against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has ruled that the trial should be moved out of Collin County and delayed.
BY PATRICK SVITEK MARCH 30, 2017 11:05 AM
The judge in the securities fraud case against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has ruled that the trial should be moved out of Collin County and delayed.
The ruling to change venue is a major victory for prosecutors, who had argued Paxton and his allies had tainted the jury pool in Collin County, where he lives. Hours after the ruling, Paxton's lawyers asked Judge George Gallagher to reconsider, suggesting the decision had been based on a "misdirection ploy" by the prosecutors.
Gallagher said the trial, initially scheduled for May 1, will now be postponed until a new venue is determined.
The judge on Thursday denied two other motions: to dismiss the case and to delay it until prosecutors can get paid.
Paxton's team, which Gallagher has barred from making statements to the media along with the prosecutors, did not comment on the judge's ruling Thursday. But a former Paxton spokesman, Anthony Holm, put out a statement calling the ruling the "latest in a pattern of injustice against Ken Paxton and his family."
Paxton is accused of misleading investors in a company from before his time as attorney general, a legal saga that began more than a year ago. He recently beat a federal, civil case involving similar allegations, but the state charges remain — and they are more serious, carrying a potential prison sentence of up to 99 years.

No he didn't that is twisting facts.

Paxton sue various Administrations while Obama was the Potus, a very different story. and while we are talking about it how many cases did he win?
Well according to records in Austin, out of 28 cases, only 7 were won, at the cost to Texans of almost 6 million dollars.
Paxton sounds like just the type of person you want by your side

When did "interesting".....which is what I said....become the same as "credible"?But hell, let's play your little game. In that poll, the majority favored no wall....and if, according to you, it isn't credible, the majority then actually FAVORS the wall. I win either way.
No worries, I know you were just hoping for some "Gotcha!" moment and failed. Pretty sure you're used to that by now.....

Veils not, it's logical here and there to ban hooded people in the streets.
China also bans "abnormal" beards and names, as well as other "extremist signs".
It is meant equality?

An indictment unsealed in New York charges Edgar Veytia, 46, with conspiracy to smuggle cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine to the United States from January 2013 to last month. It provides no additional details on the allegations.
Veytia is scheduled to appear in federal court in San Diego on Thursday to determine if he is eligible for bail. He returns April 11 for a hearing to determine if he will be sent to New York to face charges.
