No, it won't even make a dent.

As a matter of fact Trump brags about how much wall he has built, and at the same time numbers show border crossing has quadrupled.

Considering how much fake news and rhetoric is circulated among the right, I wholeheartedly agree. I mean many GOP men in Congress are still mystified as to how female reproduction works

That of course, will never happen, considering even Trump has benefited from illegal labor over the years. It certainly gets you guys out to the polls though while he raids the treasury and add a trillion dollars a year to the national debt

so a wall is not analogous to a lock but a fence is? despite the fact that a wall and a fence do the same job, IE provide a barrier to prevent people from crossing int someplace, or leaving some place? me thinks you need to learn about barriers of all sorts.

What's xenophobic about protecting our borders from illegal entry and bogus asylum seekers while we still allow in 1 million legal immigrants a year? I won't hold my breath for a viable answer from the pro-illegal apologist in here though. Bet I won't get an answer from him/her.

Obama had 35 miles of the good walls built on the San Diego border and they were very effective in deterring illegal entry in that area. We need about 1,000 miles of those types of walls built on the most porous areas of the border and that is what Trump is trying to do.

Once again, the good walls in place already have made a serious dent in illegal entry. It's already been proven so why keep repeating the same old lies that they haven't? Trump hasn't built the 1,000 miles of wall he wants built because the Democrats in congress keep fighting him on this issue but he is making progress in building it in spite of them just not enough has been done yet. Until it gets built illegal aliens and bogus asylum seekers will continue to try to get into our country.

The courts and congress keep fighting him on this issue especially with the bogus asylum seekers. They know full and well if they can get into our country and claim asylum they will be released into our society as we have no more room to hold them and yet the apologists in here ask why it is happening under Trump???? WTH? Do they lack common sense?

"Let's be honest...", THAT would be FIRST for the left!


Contrary to the left some CAN walk and chew gum as the same time!
