Bull. I have seen videos of it being climbed, right now the wall is in more highly populated areas near crossing zones. Where it is out from populated areas it will pose little barrier if someone want to climb, breach or tunnel to come under. You are wasting MY tax dollars, without benefit.
Please explain: how is it that a wall or fence has worked everywhere in the world, but it can't work in the USA? After all, where newer walls exist, they work fine here too.
No they don't. Didn't you take classes on breaching obstruction?

Homeland Security secretary: Border walls work. Yuma sector proves it.
Where do Border Fences work? Everywhere
I admit to limited effectiveness in small areas. More effective would be attacking the employers, so there is no hope of under the table jobs, coupled with denial of benefits and deportation. I would be proud to have my tax dollar support that. It has not been tried by really injuring the white collar criminals supporting it, and could really be a money maker, in my opinion. You support paying for the wall and I get that, but you know where I am coming from. I do not think either party wants to solve the causative issue as much as fund raise on the food fight.
If we really wanted to stop the problem, we would make being here illegally a felony. It would carry a minimum of five years in prison for the first offense, and I stress the word minimum.
If we could pass such a bill today without challenges from the courts, we would give all illegals here until April 1st to be out of the country. After that, no excuses.
This would take care of our border problem because nobody would want to be caught here. It would take care of the 20 million already here. It would take care of our Visa overstay problems that account for more than half the illegals in the country. We wouldn't have to worry about employers hiring them because there would be so few around.
Adopt my plan, and I guarantee we would see at the minimum, a 90% reduction of illegals in the country, and I would guess that it would be closer to 98%. No wall needed.
