We will never have a full wall, Trump said so himself nobody here opposes a secure border,.. what I oppose is a stupid symbolic boondoggle that won't solve a thing. yes we have, look up how much we have already paid and are paying for mexican border security.. I favor lots more patrols, lots more surveillance equipment,.. but If they want in, they'll still get in,.. remove their reason to want in is the solution. The wall is not going to solve the problem. Though I'm sure Trump would declare victory,.. "I did it!, problem solved, we are safe, thanks to me,.. now excuse me while I go to jail"
So you think its more cost effective to pay benefits and salaries for MUCH MORE boots on the ground? LOL. OK.
Trump's wall would need more patrols, do you think we could just turn our backs to it and sing, halleluyah?.. that boosts maintenance, without solving the problem. This is all about Trump playing to his base, trying to hang on to his 30% You're ignoring the part I said about removing the immigrants reason to want in,.. and what about our thousands of miles of coastlines, barbwire?
I say build the wall along the border until the California state line then extend it up to the Oregon-California border then west to the ocean. Mexifornia will be glad to raise taxes to pay for all of their free stuff. It's only right. We took Texas from Mexico so we should make up for it by giving them La La Land.
Yes we need added effective surveillance and patrols. Trump's wall is symbolic political bullshit. What we need is someone who will deal with why illegals want in, solve that and the battles half won,.. then find a way to deal with the illegals who are already here. A wall solves nothing. Congress could fix this,.. but dims and repugs don't want to
Ho would that work? Give Mexico massive amounts of money to fund high paying jobs for every Mexican who needs one?
