it is the law. Come to America Legally NOT Illegally. And because they have denied Asylum from Guatemala and Mexico by law they are not eligible for Asylum in America.

They need to go thru the system legally. We need to take care of our own people that are here! Other countries have restrictions, therefore we need to uphold ours. Background and drug testing is als

We have a legal immigration system. We need to be able to control who immigrates and how many, this is one of the purposes of borders. We are a nation of laws and those laws need to be respected.

Yes, tighter border security is necessary. I'm tired of my tax money going to illegal immigrants for food stamps, WIC, free education, healthcare and free government handouts.

Securing the border is the federal government's core mission.

Absolutely, it's necessary. These groups need to know that we mean business. Many have entered freely, while most are criminals and using children and women to get in. Defensive measures.

Uneducated, unemployed and unwilling to enter/apply the legal way, no way of vetting them. Demoncrats are very quiet on this as they see potential voters down the road. Build the wall!

This is our country. This is an invasion and had better be stopped. I support our troops assistance on border patrol issues. Turn them back. Fix your own country. Don't dump your trash here.

Troops cannot engage with people trying to cross over. It is just a BIG show from Trump, trying to engage his base before the elections. It is an absurd waste of resources.

No because it only brings out the hate in people.. besides more people cross by air and water than they do by land. and most by land go through ports.

The US created a lot of the violence, and poverty, in So. America since the days of Reagan. Now we are going to turn our backs on what we created? And we buy the drugs they grow.

Beginning to look like the city wants to be a mini Portland. Not what Central Oregon is all about.

Piping the canals to conserve water is the logical next step. Where does Commissioner Adair think the wildlife got a drink before the canals were made over 100 years ago? I will admit reducing Junipers and reinvigorating our wild grasslands makes sense.

The canals were not put in as "water features" for people's backyards. Build your own water feature and pay for the water. This water is meant for agriculture.

Commission Adair, where do you think wildlife get water when irrigation water is off Oct-March? Please share your plan and funding strategy for removing 5 million juniper trees. What will happen to the wildlife that live in those trees. Your argument is weak.

Wildlife has relied on these open canals for decades. There is no other option for critter water.
