My point is a wall will probably decrease the immigrants a bit for a while, then after they discover the other ways which can’t actually be stopped easily, they’re going to flock to those
Dude old fences have been very effective in reducing crossings for years - compared to nothing.
And next thing you know they’re paying drug cartels to smuggle them in via tunnels and ships
And I don’t think you want drug cartels making money
Most Mexican illegals would be impeded from crossing.
Until they find out the other ways
There are no other ways.
It’s just you can’t get in anymore lmao
And that, good sir, is a lie
And you obviously have a horrible memory because again: ships, planes, **tunnels**
Probably not, we have the coasts covered with authorities, we have the borders covered with CBP and the wall.
The wall goes below 10 feet, most tunnels aren’t deeper. Except the rich cartel ones.
But if you didn’t realise, the wall is meant to tackle the majority of illegals - not sophisticated cartels.
And in fact it hurts their operations too.
The wall will only be a waste, will temporarily slow immigrants until they start paying drug makers to get in, and you don’t want drug makers to ramp up their smuggling due to more money right?
If the wall stops more illegal migrants I’ll be happy to make that trade off
Even if it’s only like
Smuggling is really failing to get passed the wall
30? 50 a year?
For a few billion dollars
90%+
I find that to be a absolute waste
I don’t see why the long run will somehow change, old fence continues to be more effective than nothing decades after.
This wall on the other hand is a massive upgrade - especially to areas that weren’t covered.
And it’s already providing a massive help to officials in the border, those numbers is testament to that.
Then the people realize they can take a few steps to the side and walk between the miles of holes in. The fences
And then when the holes are patched they start paying **cartels, who actually are bad**, to get into the country
When the realize they can’t just walk
Miles of holes?
The boarder wall atm has miles across miles of nothing there
The wall is supposed to be 1500 when completed
That or the tattered remains of some chain link dense
Right now it’s 170 miles with 760 in construction. By the time it’s all done, there won’t be any holes - apart from natural barriers.
If you want a “hole” you need to walk dozens of miles.
And then they’re just all funneling in through dull multiple areas
What?
And if you try to utterly block the boarder? Then you’re making the ACTUAL ISSUE worse
Aka drug cartels
Getting money
From smuggling people in
