Walls are so last century (or last millennium) as a method of defense. As I sit here, typing on my computer rather than engraving hieroglypics on a tablet, we use computers and cameras as a financially smarter method to surveil others, not walls.
So . . . is your argument that those walls didn't work at stopping or greatly reducing illegal crossings??? If its not, what the heck is the point?

Cameras can surveil everyone crossing the border, but we don't have the manpower to stop everyone who is crossing. To get to that level of manning, we'd have to hire thousands of additional BP agents. When you factor in salaries, pensions, etc., it'll be much, much cheaper to build the wall.

Why is everyone against jobs? It would create jobs and revenue. How or why is that a bad thing?

The 11+ million illegals all entered at legal points of entry.

I will say this. Trumps national emergency is just as valid as the 13 National emergencies that Obama declared. Meaning none of them were really national emergencies.



Just what 11 million are you talking about?
What about the other twenty million that entered ?
You think they entered at legal points of entry also?
