I'll explain.
Dane is mocking the construction of a border security wall because he knows that - as a "barrier device" - it will work, and work well.
And therein lies the problem.
All those who denigrate a Southern Security Barrier - either as a concept, or in the actual construction of such - do so because they are afraid that the barrier will perform EXACTLY as intended.
Of course they will _first_ try to tell you that "walls don't work". The idea is to discourage any attempt to construct one.
OK, fine. So if it doesn't work, let us build one anyway, and only make fools of ourselves.
In that case, they'll go ballistic and try anything - from legal and environmental challenges to physical protest - to block the construction.
Why bother to do that if a wall "won't work"? Well, SURPRISE! They were lying all the time. Walls DO work.
Why the heck do they have a security fence around the White House? It still doesn't stop the occassional "fence jumper", right? (sarcasm off)
I predict that, if a true security barrier begins to take shape along our Southern Front, that we will see not only the lefties lining up to try to block it, but the Republican/country club open borders lobby, as well. An uneasy alliance, but it will be an alliance nonetheless.
