I'm in favor of anything that can reduce the amount of undocumented persons we have in this country who undercut the working classes don't pay their fair share of taxes.

No, for a number of reasons.
  1. Since the great recession, there has been a net outflow of Mexican immigrants to the United States and the number of illegal immigrants currently living in the US peaked in 2007.
  2. Our border with Mexico is 2000 miles long. It cost us like 2.4 billion to fence 670 miles. And we were supposed to fence 700 miles pursuant to legislation passed In 2006 (the "Secure Fence" Act). We couldn't do it because the topography of the border makes it very difficult and very costly.
  3. A fence isn't just a fence. You also have to build roads to monitor the fence. You have to build cameras to let you know when someone has penetrated the fence. All of that costs money. You don't just build a damn wall in the middle of the desert without infrastructure to supplement it.
  4. Building the wall is only half the battle. It's going to cost a lot of money to maintain the wall. All 2000 miles of it. Forever.
  5. There are smarter ways to control illegal immigration. Making e-Verify or a cheaper equivalent mandatory is one of those ways.

@Ill honestly you should care it's idiotic and an extremely poor allocation of resources. This will make the bridge to nowhere seem prudent.

$10-20 billion is really nothing in the grand scheme of things. We spent $2 billion on just the website for ObamaCare.

Obamacare Website Costs Exceed $2 Billion, Study Finds

While the current argument is one of a racist nature, we should look past that and evaluate how effective a wall would actually be and we should also have a hard discussion on nation-states and state borders. Do we believe in hard borders is the real question. If yes, a wall is not a far fetched idea. We use natural boundaries like rivers and mountains to create borders, so why not a man made wall. My issue is that I don't think it would be all that effective against the cartels. I think it would def help stem the flow of illegals into the country but stats say there are more people leaving than coming now anyway so it would be pointless. I also think the tunnel argument is really strong. We can build walls up as high as we want but they can just dig a hole underneath them and nullify them. I'd say I'm still on the fence I guess.

most of what you said suggest more jobs for the citizens and a stimulation of the local economy for the bordering states

Yes and electrify it...and put guards at the border who will shoot anything that gets within 20 feet, no exceptions...no means no :skip: if mexico wont put an end to the illegal immigrants on their side then maybe we need to remind them of what happened in 1846 :skip:
