      A wall demonstrably does not work along a largely unpatrolled, continuously compromised border. Trump proved that by building walls that kept nobody out and quickly fell apart or ran out of funding. I am very curious what the reasoning behind this is. I can’t imagine the impotence of such a deterrent measures up to its cost.

        It’s probably just a political play to try and take some ammo away from fox/conservatives who keep crying about the border. Realistically it will be exactly like Trumps 400 miles of wall that do nothing. But w/e politics is made to spend our money on useless stuff

      According to the Democrats, walls are only acceptable if Israel, or an elected person with a (D) next to their name says they are ok.

        I thought Republicans were the more pro-Israel party? I think you’re trying to insult some people, but this just doesn’t make sense

          Being pro-israel, receiving money from AIPAC is bipartisan and evil. I’m not really interested in what party is “the most pro-israel.” I am merely pointing out that the rhetoric condemning trumps border wall, by the current president and other members of the democratic party was obviously bullshit especially considering the Israel has been doing the same for much longer then Trump.
