[NEWS] Mexican border wall to be paid by US taxpayers, agency cuts; not Mexico

[:egg:]

Adding more border security is the equivalent of adding an electronic lock with biometric scanners on it to your door. Building the wall is just painting the door a different color.

what if we built a moat that reached the earths core

A wall is border security

How can you be so dense and so egotistical at the same time?

I'm not seeing the egotism in that post. What do you mean by dense?

A wall is border security

I think it's more like a temporary inconvenience until the cartels set up their own counter-infrastructure

The same logic could be applied to the current border

Does the current border require an extra $4-25 billion worth of investment?

The CIA/NSA black project budget is over $50 billion per year.  We could stop hacking phones and assassinating journalists for just one year and have enough cash to build the wall twice as high.  It's a win-win.

You might have missed the part where that was a hypothetical? Annoying Orange isn't defunding the black project budget to fund the wall lol.

My point is the same. Cost-benefit wise this doesn't really make sense.

The border fence was literally just as disasterous disasterous but less disasterous than the wall would be.
Not only did they have to literally steal land from lawful citizens but it took years and years and billions of dollars more than planned, but it didn't do jack stuff. It was a complete waste.

yes, our same border is weak against these cartel builders. with that in mind, so will the new wall they're constructing

this is why a wall is a stuffty use of money. border security would be 100x better and more effective than a wall

who needs a moat when we can just leave the hole empty

ORRRRRRR we could fill it with legos

whoever tread be ready to lose their feet

If we just annexed all of Central America we would only have to worry about maintaining a very small land border.

You mean defending overly funded governments and projects of complete bullstuff so we can build a wall to protect our citizens and borders?

The TSA and Coast Guard are getting slashed in order to build a wall.  The wall won't do stuff in comparison.
