Would you say that about Trump’s Wall, I can find plenty of conflicting evidence on that, but for that anecdotal evidence that it would have some result suffices.

Would you say that about Trump’s Wall"

Yes, I would say that. So let's see what happened in San Diego and Yuma, when they expanded barriers. Or on Israel's southern border, where a wall was build not to keep out terrorists, but to keep out illegal immigrants. And let's see how many people build houses without doors. Barriers work. Anyone who says otherwise, is an idiot. Your "conflicting" evidence might show that walls aren't perfect. But no one is saying they are.

By what logic do walls not help keep people out of places where we don't want them to be?

You're talking nonsense. Sheer nonsense. You have a door on your house? How come? A master thief could still get in, right?

So if you want a impenetrable house will doors do it?
And do you need an alarm system?
Which is the greater deterrent to a master thief, the door or the electronic device?
I guarantee you a standard door is one kick

What will the wall do here?


Why did Trump's budget for border wall go from 1.6 billion to a ransom demand of 5.7 billion?
Here is what his FY 2019 budget issued in February of 2018 called for
"Critical investments include $1.6 billion for construction of the border wall and $782 million to hire and
support 2,750 additional law enforcement officers and agents at U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)."

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?
