    The "Wall"

    Wouldn't this approach be a lot cheaper and make more sense?

    It's ok if you disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    She said she'd support whatever bipartisan agreement is reached and that is beside the point when it comes to what is the best strategy to secure the border.

    Cheaper high tech solutions make more sense than low tech expensive solutions that won't do more than slow people down while they dig tunnels under the wall or fence.

    I am trying to figure out if Liberals are all stupid or just hope everyone else is.

    Israel's border barrier meets the definition of a "wall". Do people on the Left really just picture something like The Great Wall of China, which incidentally, was actually quite effective.

    No they dont, nothing less than a barrier will work, ive explained this to you and the forum a few times.

    High tech solutions are cameras and drones, all they do is identify someone is "Walking/Running" over the border, if a border agent isnt with a 100 yds, they are over and GONE and you can trust they arent going over where they see border agents.

    You need BOTH high tech solutions and a barrier to slow them to give the border patrol time to react

    Doc we dont want whitewash americans want a final damn solution thats going to actually stop the rape of our border.

    The democrat shut the govt down because they dont want a wall, it cost 24 billion in economic output not counting what it cost the govt to shut it down and that would have paid for the wall and kept the govt open and the employees working

    A wall is not what Trump is calling for. I can't figure out why he keeps referring to his proposed barrier as a wall. He's shooting himself in the foot.
