That makes no sense. Crossing the border illegally is rarely an unplanned event. As we know quite well, migrants travel hundreds and thousands of miles to cross the border. They can just as easily go to Sonora as Juarez, or the Rio Grande Valley. Within days of completion of the Wall, migrants will be selecting another crossing somewhere in 1800 miles of un-walled border. All Trump is doing is making a 10% section of the border more difficult to cross, assuming the wall every get's built.The reason you can't get the 10% is it makes even less sense than 100%. If you had a thousand foot property border around your house, would you build a hundred foot long wall then claim it will keep out intruders? It's this kind of craziness that surrounds Trump, that keeps congress from trusting him. You can't depend on anything he says.You do realize his plans now have changed to building a barrier on only 10% of the border. I wonder what his supporters think of leaving 90% of the border without the barrier.Trump wanted 30 billion for the wall. He scaled that down to 5 billion. Trump believes according to his experts, that it's enough to erect a wall in critical areas. It has nothing to do with the money. It has to do with erecting a structure that will work. Democrats don't want it to work. They want to keep letting in these murderers, rapists and drug dealers entering our country.
We're not happy about it, but we can't even get the 10% from the Democrats, so we are more pissed off at them.
Terrible comparison. It only takes seconds to walk a hundred feet. It’s different if you have to go 50 miles to get around a wall. Plus the fact there will be more agents in the open spaces and there are natural barriers where there is no wall.
It has nothing to do with making sense or not, it has to do with Democrats wanting the continuation of illegals entering the country.

Rome wasn't built in a day. For all we know, 2020 elections could swing hard our way. If Trump gets reelected, we get the House back and a few more Senators, we could be looking at even more wall.
Ted Cruze is talking about re-introducing the El-Chapo bill. If successful (which I doubt) that would give us access up to 14 billion dollars and none of it a taxpayer dime. If Democrats vote that down, it will clearly demonstrate it's not about money, it's about stopping a wall from being built no matter what.
