Also, the guards say a concrete wall is not preferred as they want to see what is on the other side.
Plus you have the issue of much of the land is privately held.

Trump isn't suggesting we wall the whole border, just sections. I presume, he's talking about the places most used by the 1,000 - 3,000 who cross every day.

He has gone back and forth with saying the full length. I think recently (last year or so) he hasn't said "the full length". At this point I don't know how long he is proposing. If he were to say that it is just filing in areas these and those area I could support that but I don't think so.

I don't think he really knows or cares what would get built, it's all about riling up the base and being able to declare total victory, probably, like has never been seen in this or any other nation.

This is pure opinion, not an argument. It amounts to a slick tactical lie. It ignores the mirror image of Pelosi and Schumer being all about riling up their base and declaring the defeat of Trump. And it is spiced with an uncorroborated and patently untrue notion that nothing like this has ever been seen in this or any other nation. Your seriously of the opinion that no politician in the history of the world has ever wanted to get something done in order to declare victory?
