We can stop giving 50 billion in welfare to criminals too!
Just the hospitals in Harris County alone spend nearly a billion a year treating illegals.

If they could get a Jeep up 15 feet of wall a person can haul up a back pack no problem.

Then there are the tunnels that have been used for as long as there has been wall.

The so-called walls in place on much of our border now are mostly fencing they aren't the same types of walls that would be built on our border today. They are the double layered ones and they have been very effective where erected. Guess I'll have to post the links proving it once again. Ever heard of tunnel sensors? You guys act like if we can't prevent 100% of illegals from entering with a wall then it's useless even though it would prevent most of them from entering. What bizarre thinking.

Lot of media is becoming a pay wall.

Might as well pay for a wall that saves us money in the end.

I know you don't want the wall built and would do anything including posting misleading BS... it ain't working... Mexico is paying for the wall period... whether through trade deals that saves 20 billion or tariffs, or border fees, money gram fees, etc... they are paying period...

Where U.S.-Mexico border fence is tall, it works

I didn't see any double wall proto types in Trumps wall yard.

And when AZ put up walls, TX border crossings increased. Put up a wall, people will go around if over is too hard.

I'm cool with it. Get it built. We'll save the cost in welfare and other benefits for illegals and their anchor babies in no-time.

You might be a nut, but I don't give a rats hind end who pays for it as long as it gets built.

That's the point, build the wall where they are mostly likely to cross no matter where that is. Then they'll be forced to try and enter via much more difficult and dangerous areas that have natural barriers to deter them. The Border Patrol can then focus more of their efforts there.


Some people of course will managed to breach a wall but as I said before just because it isn't 100% effective but would still deter many or most of them we shouldn't build it? You make no sense at all.
