There is no law that says it has to be built on the exact border. It would be built on the US side, taking land away from US citizens and creating a no mans land between the wall and the actual border.

^^^Yep, a little common sense. Some walls where we need it, more portable electronic and drone surveillance that can serve in mulitple applications, and more personal.

The questuon is ridiculus as our sovereignty is not really Liberal or Conservative issue. The OP is a child, who actually opens a "serious" question using the term "Cons"? that would be like me using the term Libtart and expect to get a serious response

You got that right. Besides, it's not only conservatives that are in favor of completing that wall.

There are tunnels under the border already. Some of the border is water. The wall is a total waste of tax payer money.
Because their paranoia and selfishness trumps everything else.

No. Because our safety and that of the nation is a concern that has gone practically unchecked. Then there's this, the rape trees

This huge problem needs addressed. Don't be selfish.

Would you rather spend 113 billion each year that costs us to take care of illegals?
