Well, we will pay the Mexicans to build it of course.

3. As soon as the other wall was built tunnels were dug in the right places to ensure the free flow of drugs and weapons into the country, and it will continue
4. Congress will never authorize near enough money to build a real wall - instead they will put up the cheapest shit they can find to satisfy the claim that they "finished building the wall" - again - no deterrence
5. Most of the illegal immigrants came to the US legally - they just aren't legal anymore - and this will keep happening - and happens not just from mexico - from all over the world and while it makes for great soundbites...the wall doesn't stop people from flying into the country

I couldn't agree with you more.
If we want to build a wall and make it effective, we would have to go all out. We would have to build the Berlin wall but on steroids. It would have to be deep so they couldn't go under it, be tall so they couldn't go over it, anti aircraft to shoot down any attempts to go over it, and all of it would have to be patrolled.
And still that won't stop them. They will fly over the United States to Canada to visit and then just cross that border, legally or illegally.
