Until we change policy here at home the wall is not going to even begin to help.
The Peter Santenello interview below tells part of the story. For one thing, there are areas of the border that will never be walled because the wall is either on Native American land or would prevent Native Americans from crossing between the US and Mexico.
And the vast majority of asylum claims are false. International law says asylum seekers must stay in the first nation that grants asylum. But what they are doing, say, is landing in Brazil, where they are granted asylum, and then working their way up to the US. At the US border, they toss their Brazilian ID papers and enter the US illegally with the false claim that they came right to the US and were never in Brazil or another country. We let them in, give them a court date and they never show.
There is no way we can continue as a nation and allow this to happen. Biden has opened the floodgates to illegal immigration and I have to think he wants to destroy the United States.
I disagree about the wall. Where the good walls have been built they have been 90% effective in deterring illegal entry. They need to be completed. We only need them along the most porous areas of the border. The rest is mostly impassable terrain. Please provide a viable link to your claims about so-called Native American lands.
Before we go attacking another country's people, he should introduce a bill to secure our border with them. Oh, wait... Never mind.
Exactly! And, use economic sanctions, as if we stop trade through the border, Mexico will suffer, and it will cost the taxpayers less. Also doing that would help farmers in our country, as well as others!
This 3rd world stuff is coming to our country through the border. Put the military on the border. Also, there is and continues to be advisories on traveling to certain cities to include the one these 4 people went to. Sadly, conservatives like to use the military to give contractors to those that donate to their campaigns, under "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours", of course, probably 99% of the politicians on both sides operate that way!

Go down to the “border” in AZ, NM, or TX and you will quickly see that it is already militarized. CBP, National Guard, DEA, etc. are tripping over themselves spending billions of dollars. Constant road traffic, helicopters, dirigibles, drones, night or day. Our Constitution doesn’t even apply for U.S. citizens traveling within 100 km of the border.

Very true. Those on here saying the border is wide open are incorrect. Problem is we are letting all these asylum seekers use a loophole to get it. We simply should not be taking those people in at all. Just sent them all back.
