However, whenever I see an argument against the wall that starts with "There is no evidence it will be effective" I have to laugh at this fallacious point.
The fact is we are literally surrounded by walls in our everyday lives, and they prove their effectiveness by preventing and/or channeling access to whatever space is being walled in.
Of course no wall is going to be 100% effective as a stand alone defense. If there is something inside worth it to someone breaking in for, then the wall/barrier will also need dedicated defenses.
In normal life it would be security guards, police, soldiers, automated systems, or in the case of a homeowner that person themselves.
So arguing that no wall is 100% effective is disingenuous. Walls work as they are designed to, and if well defended then they work even better.
As for why one would want a wall along the borderline? For the same reasons any wall has been built, to prevent anyone not allowed from entering the premises without permission.
All that typing and the only thing you managed was to make a bunch of assertions without a stitch of evidence to support it. Congratulations, it's hard to write that much without actually saying anything.
Please provide a reputable study showing that spending $5b on a small portion of Trump's wall is a cost effective strategy to limit illegal immigration and/or limit the drug trade. Also what will the yearly maintenance cost be for this wall?
LOL, IMO we both know the "stable genius" businessman couldn't write a business plan for the wall if he was paid a billion dollars to do it. There is no plan, nobody has a clue what's going on, and you're asking for $5b as an homage to your cult leader.
