Do America actually need a wall?

[iamgine]

Regardless of what agendas these politicians might have in wanting the wall built or not built, do you personally think America need a wall?

I have seen both arguments and they're basically this:

For: It works and the benefit is sufficient to justify the cost.

Against: It doesn't work or the benefit is insufficient to justify the cost.

[diamenz]

no. we don't need to go billions of more $ into debt just for a self-serving political punchline. right, fiscal conservatives?

[CelticBaller]

The money spent on the wall could be spent on something more productive

Border patrol is probably less expensive and more effective

What

[Rocket]

Simple answer is yes.

[bladefd]

Nope. It won't solve or even solve 30% of the illegal immigration issue. Folks will simply shift patterns to crossing across in oceans or more in visa overstays. You will dent illegal immigration for 2 years tops. Probably even less. People are not stupid - it's a HUGE business to get people across. They will evolve their patterns very very quickly to keep their business going.

Instead take the 2 billion and fix fencing already in place, look for obvious holes where you can add fencing along with multiple layers of ubarbed wire, stick in more sensors across the border, use automated drones to continuously keep scanning for crossers, do more scout runs with armed border patrol, build more barracks at smaller intervals to spread out border patrol. Use more technology and brains.

A wall is a step in the right direction of actually doing something about illegal immigration.
