Wrong wall
And just how much do you think that would cost
Keep in mind that a large part (more than 1200 miles) of our unfenced southern border is a river, the Rio Grande, in a floodplain. That creates big issues with fences or walls and flooding, look at any of the low gradient rivers in New England.

The nations with fences/walls in the rest of the world wish the people at their borders were as nonviolent as the ones at ours.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
