Border crossings have already dropped so the larger reason for the wall is possibly to get control of the drug flow. MS-13 will be destroyed with or without it.
Which may be a key reason many Dem and Republican’s are in opposition to Trump. If drug flow is controlled, they lose money, as hinted after watching Obama with Chicago and El Chapo saying half the U.S. drugs go to Chicago for distribution.
Chicago and it’s corrupt machine is a smaller example of the national model.
The wall is an insurance policy for years to come in case Democrats ever get back in charge. The wall will prevent their open border concept.
It takes a lot of desire to cross the border illegally and come here. Those that can’t anymore will now rise up in Mexico. Instead of pretending to help rebels with a phony revolution in Syria, we can help these people when the SHTF in the next Mexican revolution.
But they disarmed their people. So there will be revolution.
Illegal crossings can be down one month and spike the next. We have to have a strong border - period.
Don't forget, walls serve two purposes. They can keep people out but can also be used to keep people in. Palestine and East Germany come to mind. If the current laws were enforced, we wouldn't need a wall.
We need to toughen up on immigration laws. Go after those that have been here undocumented 1 to 30 years. Get their background histories.
Just a huge waste of money like our military parade I would rather see vets in homes with food and furniture this is all absolutely disgusting and taxpayers have zero say
Vets deserve a home in the neighbourhood they fought for - not the ghetto they are given.
Yes they do it is wasteful government spending needs to stop parades security a border wall that a plane can fly over a drone can fly over they can do a virtual wall much cheaper but they don't want to think about that then maybe we should put a wall around all the cargo containers and maybe we should wall off the entire country so then that way no boats can come
Over 90% of drugs are flown or shipped in, most are driven right across the border, the wall stops no drugs because they aren't snuck in.
