interesting. i see many videos of him up there but i see none of him climbing the wall itself. not saying he didn't, just for some reason those actions were not video worthy in the final edit.Most Democrats (all of whom I know) support border security. As I do. However the way to go about doing it is to beef up the passive surveillance of those who overstay their visas (which is the largest percentage of people who are here illegally).

Building a wall in hopes that it stops illegal immigration is simply put; stupid. If the blob would actually examine the facts; he would come to that conclusion (as would anyone) in 2 seconds.
But the wall isn’t about that. It’s about getting easily persuaded dumbasses who hate people of color riled up.
That is all it was ever about.
because walls are so effective.

you know - prove you can climb a wall by showing you climbing it...
That's an odd way to look at it, but if that's what blows your skirt up, I don't care. Bottom line That wall don't work no matter how much you want it to.
Well hold on a brief second.
Walls do one thing. They limit payload in many cases. Eventually someone is going to breach the wall with a vehicle—at which point I’ll look forward to the 2aguy approach of, “we had a wall, what happened”. However for most crossing the wall, they will be limited to carrying whatever they can carry. And if it’s a kilo of cocaine, that’s better than 20 kilos. If it is a pound of pot, that’s better than 20 pounds. If it is a pound of plutonium..,
So the immigration angle is patently stupid.
The value angle is less so
A couple of kelos of cocaine, or about 4.5 pounds is worth about $50,0000 according to the interwebs. I don't think that would be much of a problem. I don't think they will be climbing with bales of pot, but with it being legalized here, that market will probably fade before too long anyway.
I think you get my point. If not...5 pounds of a drug is better than 100 pounds of a drug or plutonium coming in or taking a kidnapped kid across the border headed south is much harder if you can no longer just drive across or walk across.
Walls have their uses. Immigration control is a bad reason. For one thing, it won’t keep out a motivated person. Secondly, it will keep out a largely beneficial population. Thirdly if you’re an entrepreneur or academic...why would you want to subject yourself to this atmosphere where your skin color is a Scarlett Letter? Repugs are shooting the nation it it’s foot.
