(1,429 posts)MJ: What are your thoughts on the elections?
MM: I'm obviously not a Hillary fan, but I don't know how excited I am about Trump, either. I think the two major parties we have are each as corrupt as the other nowadays. I'm not necessarily saying we all need to go out and vote for Libertarians or the Green Party. We need politicians to go back to being what politicians were supposed to be 100 years ago: servants of the people. One of the things that is destroying the nation is the career politician. Because when you have somebody that's been a senator for 30 years, they're bought and paid for. Alls they are is a special-interest mouthpiece. We shouldn't be making millionaires out of our politicians.
MJ: What do you think about Donald Trump's idea of a wall on the border?
MM: Well, I don't know how well that would work. I think that we need border control. I think that we definitely need to help our Border Patrol by giving them better equipment with better funding. You can build a gigantic wall if you want. It may slow down the traffic, but what it's gonna do is it's gonna slow down the immigrant traffic and that's not the traffic that concerns me the most. A wall is not gonna slow down the drug traffic and it's not gonna slow down the human trafficking because those people have all the money in the world to build tunnels, to buy airplanes. I mean, shoot, they are using submarines off the West Coast. I would like to see us focus on stopping the criminal enterprise that's going on down at the border. I don't think a wall is going to do that.
