That’s just silly… and scraping the barrel…

The wall is nothing more than a symbol. I highly doubt any of the wall supporters have faith in its physical effectiveness. All that matters is a huge sign on the country’s back door that says “Stay Out”.
Stopped the Caravan… We all saw them rush it…

correct. Trump needs a symbol of his strength.
wonderingrover: Cratic3947: wonderingrover:So, according to the article below, smugglers are using ultralight aircraft to get illegal immigrants into the US now. This ties directly into one of my arguments against the wall as an overly simplistic solution to a complex problem. Namely, the wall isn’t going to one damn thing to stop someone from flying right over the wall and bringing in illegal immigrants.
So, could someone - anyone - please tell me how a wall stops this?

You know why it took the Greeks 10 years to break into Troy? A big wall…
Just think how much faster if they could have done it if they had airplanes - or even these lightweight aircraft.

That is but one method they could use. Here are a few others:
I could go on and on, but you get the idea.

That is but one method they could use. Here are a few others:
- Tunnels
- Coming over on a visa and overstaying said visa
- Using the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of Mexico to skirt the wall.
- Bribing agents at legitimate crossing points
I could go on and on, but you get the idea.
What percent of illegals from Mexico use these methods?

Good to know that what’s there is already working. No need to waste billions on anything else.

Beautiful? Maybe. But big? Definitely. A 14-mile section of President Trump’s border wall is under construction in San Diego, at a cost of $147 million. The money comes from the omnibus spending bi…
My opposition to the wall is because any wall can be breached. Walls we have already at the border are constantly being tunneled under. And climbed over. Or flown over. And a wall does nothing about visa abuse, or flotillas or 100 other vectors of entry.
I want our border security to be conducted by making it impossible for illegals to function financially in this nation. E-verify not only for jobs, but for housing, education, government benefits, medical services (other than the most basic of emergency services), etc.
Cross the river and the desert if you want, but you’re not going to be able to function once you get here.
The one thing my approach cannot answer, though, is how to address the criminal element that can cross to this side of the river. (That ARE doing so today.)
This is spot on.

Besides, we can detect and track anything like that coming over the wall. The linked story exists because we tracked that ultralight in the first place.
And we’ve caught smuggling submarines. And we keep finding tunnels.
An exceptional counter-example to the effectiveness of the wall doesn’t change whatever effectiveness it DOES have. (Namely the flood of current foot traffic where there isn’t a wall.)
I just think we can make that foot traffic useless to MOST of the foot immigrants by making their existence here impossible – at a far less expensive cost than building a physical wall.
The wall is nothing but huckster’s scam on his idiot base. Just because it’s been repeatedly brought up for 2 years does not change that core fact.

What would we have done had the “caravan” arrived at a location where no wall exists now?
(Personally, I think the caravan organizers were foolish to go where there was already a wall.)

Why do you think that when their goal was to walk up to border guards and claim asylum?
Simply out of curiosity, on what are you basing the idea that 1. The Trojan War happens, and 2. That it took ten years to breach the wall. You’re not referencing a bronze age myth as a reason for us to build a wall are you? And before you go all wiki on me, I’m aware that a town many(including me) think is the basis for Troy, was destroyed around the time that supposedly the Trojan War took place, there’s nothing backing anything else up about the myth. Cause if you’re gonna go with the ten year seige thing as evidence, I’m gonna assume you believe the Greek gods took part in it also.
The idea that a barrier has to be effective in all circumstances whatsoever or else it isn’t worth doing is one of the self serving absurdities embraced by the Open Borders people.
The wall doesn’t have to and won’t stop that. It will help to stop the tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands per year that cross the border illegally.
You’re welcome.

Why does Nancy have such a big wall around her house?

Yes, they think that’s reasoning…LMAO!
If a caravan of people approached the country doing Monty Python comedy skits they would be either smart enough to try to enter lawfully or have enough of a sense of humor about themselves that they would be okay with trying to enter lawfully.
Of course the Left would oppose them as being too Eurocentric…
