The wall will help our country, it may not be worth $20 billion but who cares, our real cost is less than $10 billion, probably less than $5 billion. Far less than the cost of dealing with gang members, terrorists or 6 million illegal aliens.
And think about how much more the WALL will save taxpayers -- reduced border security, law enforcement, court costs, etc.

Hey fellas. If'n the wall has all those benefits, let's build walls all over the place.

Let's a build a wall around Capital Hillarious. There's a lot of bad hombre's in there. Then one around Alabama. There's pedophile's in there. I'd like one around Kentucky ... to wall off all the inbreeders.

And think of all the benefits of a wall between us and Canada. To wall off all those lousy liberals up there.

Fences make good neighbors. Let's fence off everybody. Think of all the jobs created, and money.

And make Russia pay for all of it.

But seriously. Mexico is our neighbor. Jesus instructed us to love our neighbors. Let's build bridges. Not walls. Think of all the jobs and money there would be in that.
