    Now go back and try to use those limited reading skills of yours. It's not the only reason for the criticism of the building of the wall.

    If it’s immoral, no other reason is needed.

    Is it immoral? And, if it is, what do we do about the 500+ miles already in place?

    Inhumane is the better word. And Trump, who enjoys being cruel, is up to his eyeballs in that stink.

    Is any border security inhumane then?

    The CNN government shutdown clock is really stupid.

    That is all.

    OK. So, how would that history be analogous to what Trump is proposing, or to the 500+ miles of barriers we already have on the Southern border?

    The border barrier that Hungary built on its border with Serbia and Croatia has worked well. So has the barrier that Israel built in the West Bank

    And, despite any barriers we build, there will always be legal points of entry between the U.S. and Mexico. it won't keep anyone in, or out, who has the right to cross it.

    And let’s remember that while Mexico is supposed to pay and trump lied about that, the $5 Billion he wants this year is less than 5% of the total cost.

    Explain why taxpayer need to spend 200 billion dollars to keep housemaids, landscapers and dishwasher from America?

    Most illegal immigrants are “overstayers.” They come to the US legally — for vacations, business, to study, etc. — and then STAY past their visas. By 2012, overstayers accounted for 58% (THE MAJORITY!) of all unauthorized immigrants. A wall is meaningless here!

    Walls have little impact on drugs being brought in to the US. According to the DEA, almost all drugs come in through legal points of entry, hidden in secret containers and/or among legit goods in tractor-trailers. A wall will have little to no impact on the influx of drugs into our country.
