FULL TITLE: Former Koch Exec, Now White House Staffer, Marc Short: We Need a ‘Conversation’ About ‘Definition of a Wall’

During a segment on CNN, the former Koch brothers executive turned White House staffer Marc Short said that Americans needed to “have a serious conversation” about “what the definition of a wall is,” in regards to the U.S.-Mexico border wall that President Trump promised to build.

Short, who led the Never Trump movement inside the pro-mass immigration Koch brothers’ organizations, questioned what exactly a border wall would look like under the administration, while also pushing amnesty for nearly 800,000 illegal aliens shielded by the Obama-created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

“I think that what the definition of a wall is, is something that we all need to have a serious conversation” about, White House legislative affairs director Marc Short said on CNN’s “The Situation Room.”

Short said, “in some cases,” it would be a kind of fencing.

“It is a myriad of different structures,” Short said.

Short went on to describe Trump’s reportedly newfound commitment to amnesty for illegal aliens, saying “He feels that these are 800,000 people who came to the United States, no fault of their own, who are productive and working in American society. He wants to find a solution for them.”

...tunneling just takes more time...

Mines set at tunneling depth mean never having to say you're sorry. Or sensors like the Israelis use, to alert them of digging below.

We HAVE a border patrol The wall is a badly needed force multiplier. Go away.

Concur. A wall without active measures is just a temporary obstacle.

You need to read more closely. I actually agree with you (and think that the BP should be enlarged, as well).

My comment is pointed at those here on FR who believe that building a concrete wall is the only allowable solution, and will, by itself, stop illegals. Without active enforcement, ANY sort of wall will be ineffective.
