illegal migration to the United States plunged 31 percent, falling near its lowest level in 50 years.

But we need a wall ?

For Trumps ego not national security

31% of a big number still leaves a big number to stop. If that number is for last year, then that continued migration won't end so the numbers will continue and be added to the overall massive number already here. We already have more here than we probably can deal with in terms of documenting, processing, and when appropriate, deporting. Constantly added new large numbers every year to the problem can certainly overwhelm the situation even further. And if we show any tendency to back off of improving border security, and also allow those here to remain, migration numbers will rise again.

violent crime is down. do you still lick your door at night?

border patrol says that over 1,000 illegals cross the southern border every day. i can’t imagine a wall doesn’t reduce that. it won’t eliminate it, but it will help.

i’ll ask again, does the prison you work in, have walls? if so, why? is it because, as every idiot knows, barriers help keep people
where we want them?

Just like Trump you think a wall is brick and concret and the prison has them argument is as simplistic as the Come

Prisons have layered security they do not see the wall or the fence as the end all be all solution. As you and Trump love to sell it as (ever hear prisoners escape )

At best wall and fences are a deterent not prevention why not have a minefield ? Using your logic they worked during the war to protect large area with little man power

Now his administration is once again saying it's not just a wall it's other security and technology. .. but trump has refuted this suggestion

As I have said this is about his ego and image to his Base not about national security (another lie) the wall sound nothing like comprehensive immigration reform to me

and as the prison security is layered ( one of which being walls), trump is also proposing layers in addition to the wall - agents, drones, etc. so you seem to think he wants just a wall, that’s not true.

little man power? who is calling for that? i want more agents down there. you’re making a lot of speculations, and not very accurately.

clearly you havent listen to a word trump has said regarding the wall .. he is very clear what he means and what the base wants and it is a physical wall... end of story

but please keep insisting Trump wants comprehensive immigration reform ...
