Will he build the wall?

Henrin said:

Not that I support a wall, but these kind of arguments are always crap. Everything can be worked around no matter what you do. People use these kind of arguments in the gun control debate, the abortion debate and of course the immigration debate and in all of those cases it appears to ignore the fact that perfection is impossible.

Not really crap at all. The point is it simply IS easy for a human being to climb and cross just about any wall that we can afford to build in the middle of nowhere. Furthermore that wall will prove costly to build, involves a lot of issues like imminent domain, environmental issues, engineering, practical - how to get materials 100 miles from the nearest road, etc. And so it's incumbent on a proponent of a "wall" to at least coherently argue that the benefits of it outweigh those direct costs and other downsides. Saying, "nothing is 100%" or words to that effect doesn't get it done.

At the cost of what? building a gigantic wall stretching 2000 miles of rugged terrain and infiltrating bodies of water and private land? yea, that would be totally worth it.

At any rate, no one should be wasting any more breaths discussing this inept proposal; he's not going to do it and you've all been duped. It's a pity that the ineptitude of those he swindled will be a public cost for the entire nation to bear.

I hope he keeps his promise to secure the border.
