There will be no wall. It's a pipe dream.

The wall is for those who believe in the tooth fairy, it detracts from serious discussion on immigration.

A wall is a serious solution to illegal immigration. 700 miles of it has already been approved by congress. Is it the only solution? Of course not, but it should be a part of it.

Why not a wall among other measures to secure our border? Why do progressives have a problem with that?

All they do is bloviate about "immigration reform". WTH is that exactly?

Mexico has strong border control on the south. Other countries do too. Europe, uh, well the USED to but now they're f'd.

I can't speak for others, but I don't have a problem with a wall as we don't have to pay for it. Whether or not that's achievable is another matter. I take issue with the manner in which it was proposed. If Kasich or Cruz had suggested it, I don't think there would be anywhere close to this amount of backlash.

The wall built around the Democratic National convention is only eight feet, I believe.
