1) If this 'Wall' is built, the real possibility of construction overruns! Who's gonna put a check on the contractor(s)!

2) I've learned, over time, that what's good for a hardline 'base' is not always good for the country! See Segregation Southern politicians of the 60s and the Temperance Movement during prohibition!

Don't worry, the wall is on the way, slowly but surely. Parts of it already exist....you do know that, right? There's a wall built in front of San Diego that has been very effective in its mission -- stopping illegals from getting in.

If the wall is built it will be at US tax payers expense, as for it keeping out illegals? they will just find other means to enter the USA ,get some fake id then live happily ever after in the USA..

The infrastructure to support the total wall complex will cost more than the wall itself.

Not dealing with commandos here.


After the border is sealed, they won't be dropping in on parachutes and rubber rafts.


As for visa overstays, the easy fix there is to never issue one in the first place.

No need for commandos.

Three men with a wooden pole can get over this worthless wall.

We have enough huddled masses of poor and tired.

Build a wall and they will just resort to coming on boats/planes/trains or cross the border in their cars or just fly to Canada and walk over the border, sealing the border to keep every one out is a pipedream thats impossible to achieve but American tax payers are going to pay a high price to discover you cant keep motivated illegals out.

I wonder how long they trained to do that maneuver.

You really think the Mexican swat team is going to try to come here illegally?
