There's no caption showing where that fence is or under what circumstances the photo was taken. It could be some kids breaking into a baseball stadium for all we know.
About 1,300 miles of the border, which spans California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, are either open or blocked by a single barbed-wire fence that can be quickly snipped through with a pair of $10 bolt cutters.
Sure, until someone buys a 10 dollar ladder. You might leave NYC but you've already left reality.
A simplistic and disingenuous answer akin to yours could be that a wall creates an impediment greater than no wall at all.
Thus illegal aliens intent on invading our country illegally would at least need to carry a ladder many miles to the border, vs. just being able to walk across.
This is also a deterrent to women ready to give birth to anchor babies at 8-9 months pregnant.
They would find any barrier more difficult to traverse than say a welcome sign with an arrow pointing out the nearest hospital to give birth.
"Overstays have exceeded those entering illegally every year since 2007, and there have been half a million more overstays than illegal entries since 2007."
About 60 percent of the unauthorized population has been here for at least a decade, according to the nonpartisan Migration Policy Institute.
A third of undocumented immigrants 15 and older lives with at least one child who is a United States citizen by birth. Slightly more than 30 percent own homes. Only a tiny fraction has been convicted of felonies or serious misdemeanors."
A new wall is not going to change anything. It's a big waste of money. There are a lot better uses for that $10 billion.
The fact remains that there are more border jumpers within our border than visa over stayers and more are still pouring over the border.
Why do you continue to be in denial when I posted two links denoting how the good walls do deter border jumpers very effectively? You and your fellow anti-wall people make no sense at all.
