    I always thought these patrolling would be quite effective. If it moves on the border it dies.

    Or Chinese, or Roman. Both of whom tried unsuccessfully to prevent migration with a wall. And if there is one thing in human history that we are good at, it's migrating from one place to another. Your silly wall notwithstanding.

    Something that strikes me as odd, and proof that you are blinded by this idiot, is that one of the pillars of his campaign was how Mexico was going to pay for it. And when it became blatantly obvious that it would, in fact, be you and me paying for it, you refuse to acknowledge that you were duped, that you were lied to.

    The emperor wears no clothes, indeed.

    LOL

    So open borders for you. Taken in a family or two, have you?

    I am not advocating for "open borders", but I do understand your right wing binary, black or white, thinking that if one is against the wall then one must be for open immigration.

    Luckily, I have a more nuanced perspective.

    How about we, as a country, stop destabilizing the governments of the very nations these people are coming from?

    That would be where I would start.

    Yes, but we have an uninterrupted border between us and Mexico. The only way around is by water. Can be tunneled under and flown over. But traffic would surely be slowed.

    It's been slowing for more than a decade without a Trump wall.

    "The estimated number of undocumented immigrants living in the USA reached a 12-year low in 2016, continuing a decade-long decline..."

    Hmmmm....10 million people who don't qualify for any public assistance so must work cleaning hotel rooms, mowing lawns, babysitting your children, changing your grandparents diapers, cooking your food in just about every restaurant in the US, all the while paying taxes on every item that they purchase towards services that they will never access, while staying under the radar of ICE.

    Yeah, they're destroying your way of life.

    Gimme a break.

    You implied the wall won't slow migration much more. I claimed otherwise and hold to it.

    It will slow migration only in places that it slows migration. I concede that.

    Which says nothing about the thousands of miles of open border that one determined to come here has available to them.

    Please don't be naive enough to think that a human being can't figure their way around a wall. You could, couldn't you?

    On second thought, maybe that's why so many right wingers are in support of this stupid wall. In their limited mind a wall means "stop", and they would turn around and go back from where they came.

    The reality is that's not happening, it never has, and it never will.

    Every time something like this is reported it shows the wall works!

    Another good reason for no amnesty, then they would all qualify.

    Likely not 30 million, which are the illegals not found. Open border people are the worst....they, more than anyone, want this country to collapse.

    That's about hiring illegals, has nothing to do with my point.

    Our southern border is no stroll through the forest. The further you get from population centers the tougher the terrain. There are fewer roads and little reason to be there. Funneling smugglers to the middle of nowhere increases their risks and makes it easier to patrol. Once you cross into these areas there is nowhere to run. Higher risk increases the costs as well. Nobody ever claimed 100% success, that's your false narrative...

    Less places to cross, more chances to get caught.

    Make it a mandatory 15 year Federal Prison stretch for anyone employing illegals.

    Why is the left so against a border wall? Of course it’s not going to stop all illegal crossings.
    It is used as a deterrent. It is used as a tool for border patrol.

    If the wall was so easy to go around, they wouldn’t need the F’n ladder.
