No, its not the truth. No matter how much you want to believe it to be, you are incorrect. I am against the wall because it costs way too much, it will NOT work and I fervently disagree with taking private property for such a silly reason. Its not right and it flies in the face of what our country was founded on. Private property is a huge American principle and one that shouldn't be trampled on without much forethought and for very good reason. A wall is not a good reason.

We'll see about that but the wall will deter those looking for work and benefits. Those are the millions that are getting in here. Next lame argument.......

I think we can agree on this point.
