As if having a wall is the only, or best, way to enforce the border
It’s a symbol. All-things-considered, whatever it costs will be cheap.
I prefer going to Mars as a useful symbol. Same price tag, way more benefits.
In a debate, this Identity Politics person was rattling off what was important to society. I said, “those aren’t important goals to me.” She snidely asked me to give example of what was important to me. “Walking on Mars,” I said. She started to say something, I suspect it was an insult, but she shut up. I waited, nothing more. “Okay, we’ve established everyone doesn’t have the same goals.”

p.s. I got < 1% of the vote.

By all means, we agree.

Nationalism is incredibly valuable to Nationalists. Globalists - not so much.

I've never heard you want a result to anything in my entire posting career on the DCF/MHF. You only bitch about a wall because of all the money that would be wasted, which is strange to me considering you are a Californian.

Also, implying the vast majority of humans arent symbol minded is retarded. Like, maybe mestizos will see the "symbol" of a wall instead of a "symbol" of a torn down chain link fence and think for a second about our resolve to send them back if they dare enter.

Implying that I'm a tax and spend Californian is retarded. The wall is retarded too, and you're right that it would be a waste of money. How about we enforce the laws already on the books and use that wall money elsewhere on something cool, like a one-way bullet train to Mars

A symbol, lol, put up a giant statue of Joe Arapio and call it a symbol if you want. Retards use symbols like the Statue of Liberty to support immigration, it's not surprising retards want a symbol to signify the opposite

The Law doesn’t work because half the nation subverts it. Must build wall.
