We don't need a 5 billion wall to catch themSo, we caught a bad guy without a wall... and somehow that's an argument for a wall? I guess it makes perfect sense, if you don't think about it.
We're not trying to catch them, dumbass. We're trying to prevent them from coming into the country illegally.
Given the fact that there are easier, cheaper and more effective ways of getting into the country LEGALLY and staying ILLEGALLY (i.e. Overstay Visa). IMHO "the wall" is just a waste of time & money that'll just encourage individuals to utilize the alternatives while lining the pockets of contractors with tax payer money.
It's just a campaign tool and that's all it ever really was.![]()
If, for example, there are 2000 people trying to get into the country and "the wall" prevents 1000 of them getting in...I'm good with that. BTW, what are some of the easier, cheaper and move effective ways? True, a visa may be an option, yet so many decide not to get a visa...go figure.
What "The wall" will do is encourage further development of the infrastructure (i.e. fake identification, transport and in country facilities) that gets would be illegal immigrants into the country legally (i.e. travel to a port of entry, get a visa and then just stay) it's already the second largest source for illegal immigration and trending higher will illegal ENTRY (i.e. border crossings) are trending LOWER without a "wall" in place.
They want to blow billions of tax payer dollars trying to solve a problem that is getting better while doing virtually nothing about a problem that's getting worse and the most egregious thing about this plan is that blowing those tax payer dollars on a wall is likely to further accelerate the numbers on the legal entry route.
