We don't need a wall on our entire southern border just build the 700 mile long one on the most porous areas of it. The Border Patrol can take care of the rest. The 700 mile long wall was already approved by congress in 2006 but not funded.

Actually you've got it wrong. Give the contract to an Israeli company who has the patents and designs for the wall. The Israeli company would only be the management of the project. All the materials would come from the US, all the manufacturing would be done by American companies and all the work/installation would be done by Americans. The costs may be higher due to US unions.

And then the US will hire an Egyptian contractor to bring in proven technology that floods those tunnels. Americans will have jobs for years to come.

Nope. Not that either.

Roger Waters is anti-semetic and he won't play nice with Jews.
