“A wall in the south does not secure the border. The next Prog pres can simply open the gates. Planes fly over them and ships go around them.
We already have all the tools and laws needed to prevent illegal immigration and evict illegal immigrants. A wall wont help if the Dems still want them here.”
I could hardly disagree more. It’s true that walls can be breached - any security expert will tell you that, while at the same time advising you that a wall would be your first and best course of action. The bigger the barrier, the more effective it will be.
Maybe I’m naive, but I don’t think border patrol or all the people watching what happens would allow those gates to be opened. The dems best bet is to make sure the wall is never built. That’s why Pelosi won’t go for the deal. Seems to me she’s screwed regardless of what she does.
Currently half of all the illegals in the U.S. are people who arrived here legally on a tourist, work or student visa but never left.
The current $5.7 billion that is requested would build 20% of a southern border complete wall.
