^^^BUILD THE WALL!!!
Exactly what I am talking about.... Is this really a good thing?
Of course it is. It will help reduce illegal drug trafficking, child trafficking, and the flow of illegal Immigration. It doesn't cost all that much either. Even at $22 billion that would be the equivalent of we paid to fight for 2 months in the Iraq war.
Why wouldn't it be a good thing? Because it offends Mexico and a bunch of libs? Good lord, feelings are for sissies.
No, because illegal immigration is maybe a GOOD thing, and a wall won't stop illgals.
Lol... Illegal ANYTHING is not a good thing. It's BREAKING THE LAW!!!! And how will a wall not stop illegals? That's a ridiculous argument.
There's thing thing called an airplane. It goes over walls. There is also this thing called overstaying a visa. There is also this thing called tunnels.
Weak argument. So a wall can't stop ALL of them so we shouldn't do it? Why bother putting a fence around the White House since clearly it doesn't stop everyone from getting though? Why bother putting a fence around a garden since maybe a bunny or two will still get in. Why bother putting a door on your house because I could easily break it down. Why bother putting locks on cars when windows can be broken.

It's really more like half would be stopped by the wall, maybe less. And your comparisons are weak because there is less cost to doing those things than building a wall. I would be all for it if it did not cost taxpayer money that could be going to public benefits. If we are going to spend years building the wall, it has to serve it's purpose better than 50%.
What do you mean 'half'? Half of what?
We don't even know how many illegals are pouring over the southern border. We only know of the ones that get caught which is about 400,000 a year.
Also a wall would cost less than what we spent to find the Iraq war for 2 months.
Don't forget it will reduce illegal drug trafficking and human trafficking.... Or since it won't stop ALL of this illegal activity you don't want it?
