So... They spent twenty million dollars to build a one mile wall that.... Anyone could physically walk around. Utterly brilliant.
I have no problems with building a wall. If Trump came out and said "The United States Border Patrol has identified fourteen high traffic areas where walls and enhanced security measures would help" and then rolled this into a package that gave better gear, more perks, and higher salary to Border Patrol agents..... everyone would be for this. Instead Trump says "We are going to build a wall" which translates into "We are going to waste hundreds of billions of dollars on a wall that people will go under, over, through, or around and not put in effort into helping the Border Patrol do it's job".
We need to get more Border Patrol agents and pay them more - it's a crappy job requiring them to work and live in shitty locations - and then make sure they are properly equipped. Then we need to solve the immigration problem.... If someone comes into the United States illegally, they go to prison. Period. The first time they are caught it's one year in prison - second time it's two years, third time it's four years, and it doubles every time after that. Then we need to fix the asylum laws - if someone wants to claim asylum it needs to be done at a US Embassy outside of the country....
These are simple solutions. But the problem is the Trump administration is unable to come up with a plan because they are completely incompetent. Trump put Kushner on the problem, and he spent two years working on the plan and it was actually laughed at by both Democrats and Republicans.
