Not at all. I don't see immigration from Mexico as our biggest problem, but based on what a lot of the Right says we're overrun. And they think a wall will solve all our problems.

Are any of the 700 miles you're referring to on private land? If so how will that be handled?

What is the better system you have for that 40%? And how is 40% "only" - that's a large percentage.

Trusting Obama to build the wall is like (fill in the blank). He wouldn't build an inch if he was drowning in cash.

I would not either- waste of money-- the issue is employers who hire-- the CBP who were on Hannity started to say it --and he shut them UP- I saw it-- right don't want to deal with facts - they just want to exercise their hate of others.
