I can EASILY defend what Obama did right and EASILY criticize where Obama fell short, though perhaps not better in my own words as those in the link I provided. Fact remains, however, Obama is not the one now pushing for a $5 billion dollar wall after promising that Mexico would pay for it.

That's Trump, not Obama!

Want to stop playing your childish games now, because I think that's called, starts with d..., rhymes with umm...



Sums up your posts very well.....

Its solves two main objections and problems and would work like a mote.


1) Extremely difficult to raise and climb a ladder in a boat.

It would limit the damage to the ecology by illegals. The well worn paths leading from the bank would grow over and as the vegetation returns so will the birds nesting in them who can fly over the wall and crap on the boat people making the ladders a bit more slippery . A big plus you might not have considered !!!
Build a wall smack in the middle of a river that twists and turns extensively for over 1000 miles? You got to be kidding! Do you have any idea how logistically ridiculous that project would be?

Yep. The videos I posted above show this definitively. It's absolutely absurd.

I'm sure we have a couple of engineers that will figure it out.

The really absurd idea is to believe that every inch of the border must be walled!!!

UGH no one including Trump wants a wall/barrier along the entire border. There are places that due to the rugged terrain it is not needed because it is impassable.



We need a barrier in other places where people can just walk right in. The steel slats are the way to go.



Imagine a wall that stretches for hundreds of miles that if you try to go under or over the border patrol is alerted to stop you. The next step would be to walk to where there is an entry point and that is where you can plead your case for asylum or whatever nonsense you have been told to say. At least then we will know who is coming in even if they never show up for their court date.



A wall might actually save lives because people will not be chancing dragging their kids through terrible conditions.

The biggest security issue our country is facing is a president lacking common sense and a lack of education and critical thinking ability in those who support trump's ridiculous ideas!

The wall has never been planned to be contiguous, and I feel confident that most everyone knows that.

If you are still asking how’s and why’s you either haven’t been paying attention, or you have an ulterior motive in continuing to question things that have already been answered.
