I don't mind either way, but I'm leaning towards yes. Some people probably don't care for it showing up so often in off-topic.

The CIA/NSA black project budget is over $50 billion per year.  We could stop hacking phones and assassinating journalists for just one year and have enough cash to build the wall twice as high.  It's a win-win.

This too. The last thing you wanna do when finding needles in a haystack is to throw in more hay.

I believe in stricter borders, as in physically stricter borders. Essentially, people who find some way around the wall, ladder, tunnel or otherwise, should definitely be detained by security or border patrol. This is illegal immigration and pretty much hurts everyone in the long run.

In terms of citizenship, I believe that the citizenship process for mexican immigrants should be significantly shorter and more thorough, which can only be achieved by providing more jobs to the USCIS and more funding. This way, people who want to legally immigrate into the United States for whatever reason can do so quickly and easily, all while being properly secured for any bad records or crime history.

Most will overstay their visas, which is where some sort of faster renewal process needs to be in place. I have friends who have immigrant families and it would take them half a year to get a new visa. The process for maintaining citizenship is awful and poorly maintained.
I agree that it's an insult to our country to try to enter in roundabout, illegal ways. Which is why we even have an immigration system to begin with. Background checks, terrorism and all that.

I like to look into the bigger factors of why we even seem to have this problem in relation to other countries. I think it all draws back to the drug war, with the way we treat the usage of drugs with jail time instead of through rehab. It creates a false stigma that drugs are just bad without anybody even bothering to understand how bad, or if at all, while also subverting other potential uses of said drugs.

Then, of course, there's addiction. The only reason the drug cartel exists at all. It's a profitable business. People hide away and feed the cow away from the government's eyes. They can't come to light trying to get off of it, because they'll get arrested.

I think if we change the way we think about the subject, we'll have a lot of problems lessened if not solved entirely. Immigration seems to be one of them.

They're actually 40%
I'll correct my post, then.

This is exactly what i've been saying the whole time too, it's really sad that these smart people can't see how this would benefit us greatly
I don't entirely agree with stricter borders but I'd still accept this solution.

51
I've stated this in the politics megathread before, but I'll remind those who've missed it:

A big percentage of immigrants in the U.S. (40%) are those who've overstayed their visas. The wall will actually make it harder for them to go back home. It's literally making the problem worse, sans budget and geological issues. A problem that hardly even exists to begin with.

But hey, #MAGA, am I right?

52
maybe instead of defunding things to build a useless hunk of cement we should not build a useless hunk of cement
You might be onto something...

"It's not Hillary" is the same as "I'm not willing to admit our president is doing stuffty things so I'll just talk about someone else who's stuffty instead"

I do it pretty much every other day, lol.

Well hey, good news is if we keep denying climate change, it'll definitely get warmer up there. :cookieMonster:

But seriously,
better batteries.

We could invest in safer ways of disposing of nuclear waste, but... eh? And I'm not really against nuclear, it's just... it doesn't seem all that worth it given our other options.

58
The battery is able to run at temperatures between -5 and 117 degrees Fahrenheit. Asking for more than that is kind of ridiculous unless you live waaay up north.

But hey, like I said, better batteries.

59
And how long would it be charged for in -40 weather?

Long enough?
When your solar panels produce more electricity than you can use in your home, the excess is stored in the battery pack instead of being sent back into the electric grid. Later, when your panels aren’t producing enough electricity, you can use the electricity stored in your Powerwall instead of having to buy it from your utility.

Normally, this process happens over the course of a day: when the sun is high in the sky and your solar panels are producing more electricity than you can use, the surplus energy is stored in your Tesla Powerwall. As the sun goes down and your solar panel production decreases, you draw on the electricity that you stored during the sunniest part of the day. Essentially, the Powerwall helps you balance out your electricity production and usage over the course of the day.

Cloud cover isn't dependent on temperature, by the way.

Like. It's the loving sun. It's like. Always there. Harnessing it's practically boundless energy doesn't leave us with deathly cancerous radioactive material that's difficult as hell to handle. Solar and wind seem like smarter choices to me. The only hurdle is battery life, really. That's fixed by investing more money into making better batteries. So we'd kind of just be solid forever pretty much.

That is, until we figure out controlled fusion. Eventually.
