16 people have died falling from the border wall.

Where do they get those ladders? Carry them with them? Or are the ladders left there so others can use them?

There is always a way to get around a barrier. You just have to get creative. That's why a wall is an expensive way to control immigration that doesn't really do the job. We need to employ more effective techniques to monitor our borders. And we have them. Walls are so antiquated.

Shouldn't have built it. What a total waste. Like what an incredibly stupid decision to construct this monstrosity.

I agree. I think they do it to appease the insecure, fearful voters. But why not put that money into effective technology. Walls are ugly.

Walls work.

Your response suggests that you don't really want the illegal aliens to be kept out of the US.  I do want them kept out.  Why?  Because it's OUR country.  Not theirs.  And we have every right to assert this through the enforcement of our immigration laws.  Call me insecure; that's fine.  But these low skilled (for the most part) illegal aliens coming into our country put economic stress on our CITIZENS who are low-skilled.  American Citizens deserve our favor.  These people don't.  Period.

If you read my post, I did mention "effective technology" instead of expensive walls. Drones, sensors...they are calling it "the smarter wall."
