He does somthing = Dont listen to it. Its a token gesture. Do people want somthing done or do they just want to complain?

No, it's because people want something EFFECTIVE done. If he had proposed a wall with a definite timeline then you would see a totally different response.

Look at it this way:

What part of securing the borders is the hardest part to pull off? I for one think it was getting the military down there. Building a wall can be done with or without the Feds help. So can we assume that 50% of the physical border problem, if this is what the president is going to do, is solved?

No this doesn't deal with the people that are here, which is a whole other component, but having the troops there may go a long way.
