Forget the politics: What are the pros and cons of building a wall? The facts only, please!

No politics.

Just defend why we need a wall.

And

Why is building a wall a mistake?

Try to keep the facts.

No politics.

Is this possible?

The government will need to buy land or take land using eminent domain.

How much will that cost? And what happens to the people who own the land?

I've read the border isn't a straight line and so the length is actually over 1,900 miles.

What will stop people from tunneling under? Or building a ladder one foot higher?

 

[deanrd]

We need the wall because, I'm stumped.

Exactly why do we need the wall? And what is meant by a "wall"?

 

[Rambunctious]

ummmmmm because people are sneaking into our country and we do not know who they are or where they come from ans they are costing us...and endangering us did you know that illegal immigrants are responsible for nearly 15% of all DUI's?....

If we allow this caravan to enter it won't stop.....

 

[deanrd]

So they can't tunnel under or build a ladder over?

How is that about a "wall"?

How do you make a "wall" effective?

It didn't work for China. What has changed in two thousand years?

If we build a wall, considering the cost, will that mean no more border patrol?

The people can suffer eminent domain just like I had to suffer it.

How do you build a wall here?

Still a good question. If you build a wall, does that mean no more border patrol?

A wall to stop the free flow of illegal immigrants.

If they want to come to this country they can go thru legal process.

Yes there would still be a need for border security even with a wall, to ensure there is no diggers or climbers.

My land got condemned aka eminent domain to build a dam. However, the other side of the creek did not get condemned because that was a different county under control by the Amish. Called the Upper Darby Dam Project. This happened in 1967 and I am still pissed off. The damned dam never got built but Franklin County got my land which I did not want to sell.

You did not open with facts of your own and the first two things out of your mouth in your original post are YOU DEFEND YOUR POISITION and STICK TO THE FACTS.
