the_bloke   17 #73 Posted January 29, 2017 Also interesting to read how Mexico deals with migrants at it's own southern border.  http://www.counterpunch.org/2015/09/10/deportation-detention-and-abuse-on-the-guatemala-border/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
LeMaquis   10 #74 Posted January 29, 2017 Ask Hungary. Since the construction of a fence between Hungary and Croatia at the height of the EU migrant crisis, migrants attempting to get into the country dropped from 138,000 a month to 15.  You're not comparing like with like. The 2015 crisis was caused by refugees. Mexicans are not refugees fleeing a warzone but economic migrants looking for work. And they don't walk across borders. They travel legitimately and go through passport and visa controls. They just don't return when they should. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

They just don't return when they should.  You forget that it isn't just Mexicans that travel across the US-Mexico border. It's potentially anyone from South America, as the southern border with Mexico has virtually no control at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

crookedspire   10 #78 Posted January 29, 2017 Trump's vision of walled borders has inspired me to think about building a wall around Sheffield it will be a thing to mavel at thousands will come far and wide to admirer it. Their will no exits as no one will be allowed to enter, it will take many decades to build and the pennies will be tight. It will become an one man's folly a bit like Trump's policies and his wall.

Its dropped off for everyone as a result. You also have the fact they have alternative routes through other countries, whereas the US is 2000 miles long and a completely different prospect.
