Everyone is against illegal immigration. However, we do not need to spend twenty billion dollars on a wall in the next two years. Walls work great in some areas, but not in others. Why spend a billion dollars on a wall in an area where no one crosses when a handful of border patrol agents and a single helicopter would easily cover it?
Building a wall is not cost effective. At the same time, illegal immigration is down. Why spend money on something that is not cost effective to solve a problem that is becoming less of a problem every day?
Even more so now after our deficit is through the roof because we gave the rich a hug tax cut.
