What a bunch of horse manure. To think that engineers would not adapt the wall to the terrain is an i***tic thing to say. In some areas it could merely be steels barriers. It does not have to be a brick wall in it's entirety. Some areas may need very little structure at all.

The drones carrying people over the wall is a stupid thing to say. If if ever becomes feasible it will still be expensive. The wall's job is not to stop everyone, just most everyone. Smugglers using drones would not be cost effective for smuggling humans in bulk.

You people always make the argument that the wall has to be 100 % to be worth it. That is false.

The best rationale in support of President Trump's position on building a wall to halt i*****l i*********n is explained in this article published on ZeroHedge: https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-01-10/israel-vs-america-capita-cost-border-wall-construction

For those who do not want to take the time to read it, I will summarize the key take-aways:

1) A Wall is effective. -
"The wall Netenyahu is referring to is the Israel-Egypt barrier on the southern border, which began construction in November 2010 and was completed in December 2013. The 152-mile long barrier was built at the urging of Netenyahu to curb an influx of i*****l i*******ts and terrorists from African nations.

Even left-leaning Politifact was forced to admit it worked…

Johnson said Israel cut its i*****l i*********n rate by “99 percent” by constructing a 143-mile fence along its southern border.

Israeli government data support Johnson’s statement. Johnson’s statement is accurate, but needs additional information. We rate it Mostly True."

2) The "Wall is too Costly" - or, "We can't Afford It" -
This one is easy. Israel takes it's security seriously. Many of America's politicians do not. Let's look at the following:

"Clearly, the very tiny country of Israel dev**es an incredible amount of resources to border fencing and security, with an estimated 484 miles of completed walls/fencing and more under construction. Conversely, the US claims to have 580 miles of “barriers” in place already. Israel’s heavy usage of border walls is even more astounding when its size and GDP are considered relative to the US:

Israel

Population (2017 est): 8.7 million

GDP (2017): $350.9 billion (USD)

GDP per capita: $40,333 (USD)

The US

Population (2017 est): 325.7 million

GDP (2017): $19.39 trillion ($19,390 billion USD)

GDP per capita: $59,533 (USD)

Israel’s population is 2.7% of the US population, and its annual GDP is 1.8% that of US GDP. In spite of Israel’s tiny size, population and GDP, the total mileage of completed barriers in the country is just under 25% that of the entire length of the 1,954-mile US-Mexico border.

Putting it into per capita terms, each Israeli citizen is “responsible” for the construction of about 3.5 inches of wall. Conversely, each US citizen is “responsible” for the construction of 0.11 inches of “barrier” – which as Peter Skerry articulated in in 2009, long before Trump or his wall – has been poorly constructed in many areas, often intentionally so."

The article goes on to say, "The opposition to Trump’s border wall ultimately boils down to the argument “it’s a waste of money”. But the same politicians so vociferously opposing a $5.7 billion dollar wall funding request complained, but ultimately funded George W. Bush‘s Iraq war request – despite its $54.4 billion budget for 2003 alone (over nine times Trump’s wall request). That price tag has since ballooned well into the trillions – but Democrats refused to shut the government to prevent it.

Democrats have also refused to shut the government over funding for the US Navy’s wasteful aircraft carrier spending. The last completed aircraft carrier, the USS George W. Bush (CVN-77), was commissioned in 2009 at a cost of $6.2 billion (more than Trump’s wall funding request), and underwent its first deployment in June 2011.

The USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) was commissioned in 2017 at a cost of $17.5 billion (including $4.7 billion in R&D for the new carrier class) – and will still require more funding to fix lingering issues with ship engines and EMALS catapults that stilldon’t work properly – before it can undergo its first deployment…

…but that still hasn’t caused Pelosi or Schumer to shut the government down to object to this waste of taxpayer dollars.

In fact, the USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79) continues to be built, with no contractors or military personnel fired or disciplined, despite not being scheduled to enter service until 2022. And as noted above by Anthony Capaccio, the future USS Enterprise (CVN-80) just began construction with an estimated cost of $12.6 billion, and the unnamed CVN-81 at an estimated price tag of $15 billion was recently approved by the Navy – without any objection from Democrats."

CONCLUSION:

Many Americans don’t mind this government shutdown, and applaud Trump for drawing a line in the sand for what amounts to a rather small funding request in the overall scheme of things. However, “the resistance” is doing this to all of us, as they are so keen on not giving Trump a win, they will risk shutting the government down for what could be months.

If government money is going to be wasted anyway, why not spend it on a border wall – which the Israelis have a decades-long track record as a worthwhile investment?

The only barriers needed are the ones near populated areas which would act like a funnel guiding migrants toward points of legal entry. Obviously many areas are just too remote and can be monitored by other means. Down along the border rd 17, I think it is, in the Chiwawa, desert ( Yes, I misspelled it. LOL!) a walll would be very impractical and would interfere with the locals wheree in some places Mexican kids live on the Mexico side but are brought over to the American side for school and other things; a place where medical provideres only come in for a few days every month or so. So yes, not the entire length. That would be a 100billion dollar project easily.

But yes, those against it ARE anti-Trump, no if's, and's or but's about it. All of these dem's who are opposed to it actually campaigned on border security and even v**ed for a barrier /wall. In all honesty, it is as if Trump took up the cause from the dem's, who could not get it done, and decided that he could get it done. He ran on it. He won on it. Obviously it is a very popular thing with the populous.

Obama even said we have a humanitarian crisis at the border, but CNN says there is no crisis????

Those who oppose this part of immigration reform and support, ARE NOTHING BUT ANTI-TRUMP PHONEY'S!!!!!

Let me repeat that. This is being opposed only because Trump wants it done. ONLY BECAUSE TRUMP WANTS IT DONE.

You obviously did not read the entire article, if any at all. But more importantly, you missed my point. One is not necessarily anti-trump in opposing an impractical, unworkable, impossible, waste of taxpayer dollars solution to the invasion of the US by i******s, criminals and terrorists. Walls in certain places would just push the invaders to different areas as has actually happened where a wall/fence/barrier already exists. Walls/fences/barriers in other areas, like along the Rio Grande in Southern Texas would be destroyed by a river subject to flooding, changing directions, etc. Walls/fences/barriers in certain other places would mean cutting farmers, ranchers and wildlife access to the river and even cutting parcels of land in two. In places where a wall/fence barrier is feasible the cost and time to aquire the necessary land will be prohibitive. Proof of this is the fact the out of 360 cases filed against the government for land grabbing along the border years ago, 85 have still not been settled.
