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.

Parking and city revenue out weigh the small gain in revenue the business say they receive.

Simply, they're unfair to other businesses. Each space represents potential income for one or multiple businesses. If parklettes are to remain, businesses should file an application per space with an associated annual fee, subject to increase rent cost/year. They cause more problems than they solve.

Since nobody sits outside in the cold of winter, why not remove all the outdoor eating areas at least in the winter??

Nobody is sitting outside in the winter months and Street dining should be limited May - October months. Also what is not needed is 4 season dining in these structures (walls. Heaters, etc) when restaurants have room inside. If eateries don't have room inside, shouldn't be taking public space

A few circles around the area, I always find a spot. It’s not any different than any other city. I like seeing people enjoying the outdoors. That’s why we live here.

NO, with all the info out there about scams, it is inexcusable for anyone savvy to be taken in by such. However, seniors are particularly vulnerable, and family should assist them in avoiding scams. I had to take away my mother's phone when she entered assisted living and later memory care.
