It's worth it just for that, a symbol. Enter legally or we don't want you.

Of course there will be new tricks. But we will also have increased surveillance and all those tools they will use to smuggle the drugs in and then some.

Build the wall!

Actually, it would be a gift to the people living in the Mexican border states.

Those poor people live in terror of the drug cartels.

If the border wall is built the drug cartels will likely abandon the border states and look for easier smuggling routes.

The Mexican border states may then experience a more normal life.

Wasn’t it Al Gore Who once said drilling for oil is pointless because it will take ten years for a well to produce anything?

I guess the wall is in the same league. Better that we do nothing ever anywhere.

Yes, the cartels are crafty feelers, but our open border are low-tech and not real difficult plus, it’s you need a really big sub to smuggle people, another of their enterprises.

Build the wall and allow citizens to get free target practice hitting drones and small planes.

I heard plenty of personal stories of what it was like to move into the tenements in NYC in 1927. I don’t ever recall welfare being mentioned.

No, CNN is a gift to the drug cartels. And every other criminal enterprise that hates America.

[ The media continues its propaganda war against border security. Of course, a wall will not solve everything. But it should be part of an overall plan for enhanced border security. ]

Well, no one ever accused the morons at CNN of being smart...

The tricks of the multibillion-dollar drug business include using drones, submarines, ultralight planes and even frozen sharks to transport product across the US-Mexico border.

What nonsense! I do not know the volume of drug trafficing, but do you not think that someone would notice that the number of frozen sharks has increased dramatically?

CNN again fails the sanity test.

Although Pres. Trump’s southern wall won’t be the perfect remedy to stopping the flow of illegal drugs into the country, I don’t see where it will be a “gift” to the drug cartels.

Insights welcome.

We bankrupted the Soviets, but we can’t for some reason bankrupt the Mexican Drug cartels...

Someone needs to resurrect the GHWB-era proposal, to execute drug kingpins.

Of course it would.

And second-hand smoke is worse than primary.

Inordinate cold proves global warming.

The only difference between girls and boys is the way they are raised.

Men have all the power despite women having the most votes.

Inanimate guns cause crime.

etc. etc. etc.....

It is discouraging to be subjected to Negativism on an hourly basis. Hopefully, this will force us to develop a thicker skin and increased analytic powers.

People around here do a good job of getting to the bottom of these lying asshats.

“And they might not be far off. According to a 2015 report by the US Drug Enforcement Administration, 95% of drugs coming into the US were entering via container ships and other vessels.”

Funny, I don’t find that stat anywhere in that report.

This is like saying that global warming causes global cooling.
