a medieval problem. people sweeping across europe borders. romans dealt with it. 2,000 years ago, the solution then was a wall. the chinese built a wall, english built a wall, israel built a wall, they work. why wouldn t it work in arizona? good many reasons.n one is cost, tucker. 10,000 years, mankind has beenn building around walls around things. one would think in 2017 with the robust array of resources we have, o resources, we can come up with a better solution. i am absolutely a proponent of securing the border. my fear is we are continuing this dialogue of a wall, a wall, a wall, which, to many of us, doesn t seem credible. and in that, we are losing the more serious discussions about how to better secure our borders at a lowerbe point, more effectively. that s my concern. the porous nature of our border is a national security problem, it s a public safety problem, human rights problem. all manner of transnational crime is coming where the border is. p
do you think it s going to take closer scrutiny? maybe she was a felon technically speaking, okay, but is that the kind of person we want deported to mexico as she was done this week? no because that s cruel. that s a human rights problem. she has no home in mexico. her family is here. you re splitting up families. she made a mistake on some of those voter rolls, okay. there should be a fine of some kind, but to deport her, get rid of her and divide her family. that s not america. that s not our country and this is why these raids and this immigration policy of the president is so negative and so destructive. the president suggested he might issue a new executive order on immigration this week after the appeals court ruled reinstated his travel ban there. will his next step inevitably be opposed and do you see a path accepted by both parties? well, i don t see a path forward because i think he s
world to try to respond to the fact that israel is creating a permanent one-state reality and it s important to remember that when israel builds settlements, it s not like this is unoccupied land. a lot of these settlements are built on privately owned palestinian land. the land is taken from palestinians because they lack basic rights as noncitizens. this is a serious human rights problem. but peter, this is one thing, i think final thought, david, because we are going to leave it. you got the western wall in here in this resolution as being no, but david held by the israelis. nobody thinks david, there s never there s been never any negotiation which contemplated the idea that israel would not have sovereignty over the western wall. that s not the discussion. the discussion is there going to be a viable palestinian state or not when israel massively subsidizes, pays israelis to move into the west bank? gentlemen, that right there is an encapsulation of the dif
