    "Do the Coasties plan on linking hands? Rubber and plastic boats don't show up on radar. That's why our special forces use them."

    The wall would stop at least 90% of those that cross the border illegally

    Try portaging a canoe even two miles in the prime of your life. Rough terrain makes it much harder than walking on pavement, which is difficult enough.

    A correct quote, but I don't see anywhere where it says "you are the one that said we can't stop rubber boats." as you claimed. Do you normally see things that aren't there or do you just freely fabricate your own facts?

    Which is why the smart businessman/coyote already has the canoes in place. Same goes for ladders, trucks with cherry-pickers and a cargo net for the other side.

    There are more intelligen and less costly ways than a thirty foot high two thousand mile wall. Trump's great erection is just a pathetic attempt to build himself a monument.

    Canoes and even pleasure boats don't show up on radar. That's why tow boat pilots sometimes accidentally run them over and kill people in them in fog and bad weather.

    Inflatables are very portable and have a high rated capacity to carry a lot of gear and commandos.

    So when you said this you were not inferring people would just come around the wall in rubber boats and we couldn't stop them?

    Do the Coasties plan on linking hands? Rubber and plastic boats don't show up on radar. That's why our special forces use them

    If you have trouble lifting 63 pounds, then you have to be 90 years old, or disabled.

    Translation: I don't have a friggin' clue how many illegals come into the USA without crossing the Southern border. Therefore, I can't tell you the cost effectiveness of blowing BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars on it.

    Okay, before you act like a spendthrift Democrat and blow billions of taxpayer dollars on a Wall most Americans don't want, please supply some facts supporting why we need to build it instead of taking other measures like locking up business owners who hire illegals or apartment owners who rent to illegals.

    http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/344631-rasmussen-poll-most-dont-want-border-wall
    A majority of likely voters in a new poll doesn't think the U.S. should build a wall along the country's southern border.

    The conservative-leaning Rasmussen Reports poll finds that 37 percent of likely voters said the U.S. should construct a border wall in an effort to curb illegal immigration.

    But 56 percent of respondents disagree

    Hint: Stop paying illegals health care and schooling. Smart people understand that by offering these things it incentivizes people to illegally come to the USA.

    I don't want to pay one red cent to handling anything with illegal immigration. The federal government, state and local governments have been derelict in their duties to federal law.

    Trump promised the Mexican govt would pay for the wall and if he has one honest bone in his body then not a single red cent of American tax dollars will go to funding the wall.

    Either Mexico pays for it or it doesn't get built.

    I'm saying it isn't a cost effective use of our Coast Guard. I'm saying that we need a defense in depth, not a single line of of Walls and Coast Guard ships.

    Jesus ****ing Christ, when did "conservatives" become spendthrift Liberals?

    yes, we already know how weak conservatives are. Not everyone is that weak though. Most of us can lift 63 pounds. Lol

    You are attempting to obfuscate on the wall and what it will achieve. It will secure our borders and stop at least 90% of illegal border crossing. That's the subject and that's the facts on the subject.

    On that we agree. Easier said than done though once they cross the border and get here in the first place.

    Do you envision an army of guys with forty foot ladders all scaling the wall at once? No, that's hilarious!

    It's almost as funny as pretending that a wall wouldn't be a deterrent in the first place.

    You claim that fiscal responsibility is obfuscating? Interesting.

    Here are some facts: You have no clue on how effective the Wall will be. You have no clue on how many and what percentage of illegal immigrants are entering the US via means other than crossing the Mexican border. You will not admit that the Wall will not stop drug runners or terrorists. You do not know the cost effectiveness of the Wall will be compared to simply locking up employers, renters and other supporters of illegal immigration.
