We need to continue to build the barrier that was researched and designed with the help of the border patrol and looking st what others have done round the world. The law passed. It was slowly being built. Speed it up. Why pretend that we want a simple tall wall when we know it is not the most effective way to do this? Just because the chant plays well?

Building a wall is a poor solution to a problem that no longer exists.
Illegal immigration from South America is down, and deportations are up. Deportations increased under Obama and of course have continued under Trump. Building a wall is not going to stop the drugs - They will go around it, over it, under it, or through it.
This will be tens of billions of dollars that will not fix the problem.
