Trump won't build a wall across the entire border, just portions of it that could use it, or a maybe just a few minor portions in token effort, just to say he built a wall, but it's not his entire border security plan, far from it, and if you think it is, you've been fooled campaign rhetoric. The wall is marketing buzzword, not a hard policy proposal whose fine details are not open to change. It fits the bill as one of his Outrageous Opening Offers to increase negotiation leverage, this shit is right of The Art Of The Deal.Kath wrote:Seeing as how he's having numerous physical wall prototypes built, I don't think he means what you think he means.

Trump just left out the finer details because it doesn't sell as well as a visual image that sticks in people's minds. Most of the electorate don't care about the finer details of policy proposals, including most of the people who think they do care about that. It's all about the feelz and Trump played to that with the wall, and it worked beautifully. A policy wonk immigration border security plan would simply not have been as effective a pitch to the electorate, if you think it would be, then you think far too highly of the average voter and are projecting your own voting standards upon people who don't not share them.
