FENCES DON’T WORK!
Won’t that leave a gap at the bottom?
Just in time for President Trump.
If a border fence isn’t effective, why is there a border fence around the White House.
A fence? Why would they build a fence? I have been told that those are idiot and can’t work.

The whole thing is very confusing.

Get rid of the fence, but put in a moat filled with gators.
Need a drone fence....And what about rocket man...

I would support this fence if it locked from the outside and only I had the key ... ooops, I lost the damn key ... oh well, America still wins.
And people still think Obama is leaving. This sounds like he’s digging in. There will be no Election. Obama is not going to allow it.
