[QUOTE="LarryBird, post: 4078724, member: 76548"] In all seriousness, of course there's going to be a small minority of dissent for any huge infrastructure program, especially one where the government makes around 750,000 eminent domain claims, like the interstate highway system. But for the most part, people could see that the benefits would be clear and that it would usher us into the modern age of travel and interstate commerce - the wall is like a step back, toward medieval times when civilizations were walled off against raiding conquerors, and it's not at all clear that this program will accomplish it's stated goal of stemming the tide of illegal immigration. Most illegal immigrants and drugs come through the legal points of entry and use our beloved interstate system to fan out across the country. Another chunk of the drugs and human trafficking occurs through the use of super tunnels, and the wall stops neither of these methods of entry. If it's as easy as coming on 'vacation' to the US and just never leaving, and it basically is, then what purpose does this wall really serve? Please, what will it take for you 'build that wall' people to understand this? Help us help you. [/QUOTE]
