The problem is how expensive it would be and whether or not it would actually be effective. Overall it seems kind of a dumb idea.
Here's a good video about it I posted in another thread. Of course, the conservatives here will just dismiss as liberal hogwash, but there's some good food for thought in there, like the fact that only half of undocumented immigrants actually come over that border and they're actually less likely to commit crime than a U.S. citizen.
Oh, and anyone that tells you that a wall will stop drug trafficking knows nothing about drug trafficking.
Thank you for posting, I will take a look. I still think we should enforce the process of coming in here legally from here on out, but at the same time I think it's important that we have some compassion for those already here who have been here for many years, have families and children, and have made a good life here.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
