Border Wall

Please help me understand why we need a wall.

We already have a border fence, built after Secure Fence Act. I don't think a wall will improve the security at the border.

The drugs, murderers, rapists (and some good people) are coming by legal means and then staying after their visa expiration. So why don't we have a travel ban? It doesn't make sense to spend so much while getting marginal improvement over fences while we can just ban them.

Trumps ego needs a massive infrastructure project with his name on it. Too bad it has to be such a useless one.

>fence
don't scrape your shins

there are actually parts of the mexico/us border that have no border, but are separated by waters or natural elements

Still, how many people are actually crossing the border on foot? Also if we're going to man the walls why not increase the patrols?

not entirely educated on mexican cartel, but i would imagine they transport most of their drugs via underground tunnels

A wall wouldn't do much against that either.

or bribing border agents with cash

nations that have walls:

england (build to keep out romans)
india (to keep out pakis)
china(to keep out mongols)
mexico(to keep our brazil)
germany (to keep out slavs)
israel (to keep out jordans, egyptians, iranians, arabs, turks, north africans, serbians

im sure im missing some nations but guess what?

walls work bro

No, but at least it would still keep out the illegal immigrants. They don't use smuggle illegals through tunnels. That would create thousands of witnesses to their drug smuggling operation.
