Both can work together in a synergistic way. It does not have to be one or the other. You act like spending even $1 dollar on a wall is a waste of money, but a wall has it's uses in certain locations, and pretending otherwise is asinine. Building a wall in some locations allows you to reduce border patrols in that area and increase them in other areas, and/or make it easier for border patrol agents patrolling the border along the wall to do their job. Just because other border security measures deserve to be well funded too doesn't mean that a wall shouldn't be part of the border security plan as well, that's just stupid.Montegriffo wrote:Exactly.

The campaign promise was for a wall along the full length of the Mexican border, every dollar spent on that is a dollar less to spend on more effective measures. I suspect that if your own tax were to increase to pay for the feelgood effect you would be less enthusiastic. Unless you actually believe Mexico is going to pay for it in which case "stupid" is an appropriate word to bandy about.StCapps wrote:Both can work together in a synergistic way.

This is all part of Cappy's master plan to impoverish the US, boosting Canaderp's position in the world.

No it wasn't. The wall never had to span the entire border, Trump specifically said there would be fencing in spots. His campaign promise was to build a wall, not build a wall across the entire length of the southern border with no gaps whatsoever.Montegriffo wrote:The campaign promise was for a wall along the full length of the Mexican border, every dollar spent on that is a dollar less to spend on more effective measures.

It has but that doesn't mean that walls are obsolete.apeman wrote:You would think border control technology would have advanced considerable since the ming dynasty finished up the great wall, but apparently not.
