    Yes, insufficient is a good word
    Your analogy fails because "more and more people" have not crossed our border. Crossings have been steadily (and dramatically) declining since 2000.

    You also still haven't answered my question.

    You folks that think building a ridiculously stupid big wall is going to solve our political/social issues with illegal immigration.

    Did that answer your question?

    It authorized just a token amount.

    Obama once tried to make it sound as if the entire border was secured once the construction of that small section was completed.

    You folks don't believe it solves all our political/social issues with illegal immigration. That very much is ridiculously stupid. That "you folks" box, you like to put people in has no sides.

    Who said a wall would solve all our immigration problems? You just keep saying it won't do any good although their are example of it working all over the world. In fact, they all work.

    You're just like a liberal. Say it enough and you start to believe your own bull$#@!.
    Liberals are a clear and present danger to our nation

    Try that again, make a point this time.

    What happens with the illegals that are here? What happens to the illegals that circumvent the wall of stupidity?

    Will there still be sanctuary cities? Will there still be a demand for illegal labor, to run the engines of "capitalism"?

    Anchor babies? Due process when they do step foot on US soil that keeps them here?

    oh wait, a wall solves all of that, I forgot.

    I certainly don't believe building credible obstacles along the border will solve all of the problems associated with illegal immigration, but it will go a long way to solving most.

    Sanctuary cities and the illegal immigrants already in the country are a different issue.
