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.

I agree that there is a much better and more profitable structure that could be built on the border than a wall, one that would be a real solution to all of the issues (Dreamers, 6 million illegals in the country, lack of jobs, US debt, trade deficit, as well as securing the border). But Trump has a very limited vision. This is his poor imitation of Eisenhower building the highways or FDR doing a works program, or TR building the Panama canal.

So funny!

Why spend all that money on a wall when we could spend that and a whole lot more to house, feed, educate, medicate, arrest, and imprison, etc. all of these illegal aliens?

What are you talking about? How would that reduce the national debt? Nor does this solve the issue of people coming in illegally and jumping the line on those who followed the rules. Your plan is idiotic, sorry to say.

What do you mean?

I just said, "Why spend all that money on a wall when we could spend that and a whole lot more to house, feed, educate, medicate, arrest, and imprison, etc. all of these illegal aliens."

Isn't that the plan you're espousing by NOT building the wall, and continuing with the status quo?

No. Never espoused that plan.

They are already doing what you have recommended.

The border agents themselves are clamoring for a WALL.

Build the wall around that Pathetic Punxatawney Phil who just assured us of another 6 weeks of Winter.

Amen to more walls!

Soon as this winter ends, I'm gonna build one too.
