Here’s some good reading for you Jim.

Yeah, that was genius. The 'practical' arguments against the wall are that they erode, natural events create gaps, and that migrants can penetrate.

I can say the same exact things about doors. But the idiot who wrote this piece, still has a door on his house that he closes every single night. There's a reason for that. The reason is, while the door isn't perfect, it's not a guarantee, it still helps. It can be penetrated by a hurricane or by human action. Yet still, having a door makes us more secure than we'd be without the door. TRY MAKING THAT WRONG.

If anyone was saying that the wall will forever reduce illegal immigration to zero, this piece would be an effective rebuttal. Since no one on the planet is saying that, I don't know what he is responding to. The wall will REDUCE, not permanently eliminate, illegal crossing.

Spence, do you understand the difference between eliminate and reduce? It appears to me, that you are confusing one for the other.
