Then that’s wrong. Obviously.
 
Adding to the list, Trump’s wall is going to remove people from their homes as well; Those who live on the border are facing forcible eviction via eminent domain. In a sad bit of irony, most of these people were Trump supporters who didn’t realize how the decision would personally affect them.

So, … refugees? People fleeing from a war zone? Or are we talking about immigration whether legal or illegal? Because I’d say something in my ancestral tongue as part-Blackfoot, but you know.
 
Seriously, though, we can’t just shut off immigration completely or refuse all refugees after the United States had been a refuge for those fleeing the Irish Famine and the pogroms of Eastern Europe.

The prediction Styxhexenhammer666 made concerning the 2017 Unite the Right rally and the fall of the Weimar Republic really doesn’t work when you take into account the hyperinflation in Germany at the time, the public hatred of the Weimar Republic for having relations with the victors of World War I, and the loophole
 
Laws enacted by the government of the Reich may deviate from the constitution as long as they do not affect the institutions of the Reichstag and the Reichsrat. The rights of the President remain undisturbed.  
–Article 2 of the Enabling Act of 1933
 
that had allowed Hitler to do what he wanted when he was appointed Chancellor.
 
I can agree to an iota of a degree with him that the left and the right need to be put at fault for the violence that happens between them as President Trump had possibly done and that a non-interventionist, populist–in the normal sense–government is needed, but I can’t agree with his apocalyptic prediction based on a faulty comparison.
 
I can’t see the left or the right being in absolute power because, to say it again, a loophole is what allowed Hitler to do whatever he wanted without legislative permission, and I know of no such loophole in American law, unless, if you want grasp at more straws, the left or the right can get most state legislatures to agree with them on every ratification of every amendment they propose; the left or the right can take over state, federal, or both types of governments; or the United States of America falls apart because of revolutions by the left and the right. At those points, they are just typical alarmist predictions.

It’s stealing. Taking something someone paid to acquire for own is stealing. Plain and simple.
 
If Corbyn buys the unused houses off them, then I’d say “Okay. Fair enough.” but this is Comrade Corbyn we’re talking about.

So what? Are you going to argue that stealing and using unused property is wrong because stealing is a crime? What about Trump’s wall?
 
There are private properties along the US-Mexico border, and the people there weren’t happy about having a fence in their unnecessarily large backyard.

There are plenty of private properties and homes along the border, and all of them are going to be destroyed in the name of Trump’s wall, with their occupants forced to sell their property per government order.

In light of this, what is your opinion? Should these private property owners just suck it up and lose their land so Trump’s wall can be built? Is it such a worthy cause that it’s worth ousting these people from their homes?

@Fluttershy Studios  
Shouldn’t you be for Trump taking what appeared to be unused land by the border to build a Wall? Something useful?
 
I’m sensing a double standard here.
 
“Trump taking from people is bad!” “Oh, taking unused property is good!”
 
Well, I sure as hell have not seen anything along the border, so it seems pretty Unused property to me.
 
You can’t have it one way, but in another situation be against it.
 
As for me: I suppose they could strike a bargen with land-owners.
