Also, I am not against the wall because it works. The reality of a wall is that it is only as good as your ability to defend it. We currently have somewhere in the area of 2,000 open job requests for more border patrol agents. They can't get enough people to do the job because it is a shitty job. Unless we can also get the people and technology together to constantly patrol the wall people will find out where it isn't patrolled and they will go over, under, or through it.
A lot of people like to site Israel as using a wall effectively. It works for a couple of reasons. It is small compared to what ours will be and it has watch towers and armed soldiers guarding it 24/7.
We would be better off spending our money and time doing two things that will greatly reduce illegal immigration. 1. End birthright citizenship. This will stop illegals from coming here, having babies, then using those babies to get welfare. 2. Go after people who hire illegals. The agriculture, construction, and food prep industries in this country exist on the backs of illegals. Not too long ago there was a raid of a meat packing plant in Ohio and they found more than 170 illegals working there. Illegals made up 70% of their work force at the company. The people who hired all of them should be thrown in jail, but little or nothing will actually happen to them. We need to punish those who hire illegals harshly so they stop.
If we kill the ability to get welfare and we make it much more difficult to get a job, they will stop coming here, no wall needed.
