Joe Dirt don't care. As long as he can get beer at the Racetrack gas station, he's traveled as far as he needs to.

Keep in mind that at the local rally Sat there were 3K protesters and ONE counter-protester. Getting up ou of the Barcalounger is a tough thing.

I doubt that the OP meant we should literally close the border entirely. We can secure it and still have legal ports of entry and exit.

That is what we have been doing and are continuing to do. Lots of funding for that.

But if Congress would do their job and update a Bill on Comprehensive Immigration Reform, at least we would have clarity instead of scapegoating.

Nice warning hearing the glass break. Get your gun and be ready for the intruder.

The opposers of the left remember Trump supporters getting kicked, punched and chased down, cornered and beaten.

With all their guns and bravado, it's hard to imagine these "Patriots" ever taking a beating. But if you say so. I'm sure you read it in the MSM somewhere. Maybe even saw one instance of it...without, of course, knowing the back story.

Without some water and food, you'd be dead in a couple hours in a lot of those "wall" areas.

It's as if some people never heard of modern technology.

Here's a real question for you. What is more effective - a "Wall" which an NEVER be completed and is located in areas where no human beings live.....or. a "virtual wall" made of sensors, drones with infrared, lidar, and cameras and light beams which indicate when anything bigger than a squirrel cross them (thereby, bringing other sensors, drones, cameras, etc. on line to point at the transgressor)....

Which one is preferable?

While you are it it, which is better for cross country travel - a horse or a car?

How about for writing? Is a manual typewriter better than a computer?

The best "wall" is comprehensive immigration reform which addresses any and all situations clearly so that we can solve problems without taking decades. I know that's not as much "fun" as chanting that Mexicans will pay for the Wall, but it would actually work.

So if you care about a "Wall", tell your Congress Critters to sit down and hash out a bill that will do for the next 20 years or so.
