A wall makes sense to me....

Paid well and delivered results. Micromanager and produced his own reality distortion field similar to Trump. But at the end of the day he delivered a long term vision. Trump is caught up in the day to day bull shit of his image management. So very little gets accomplished.
I agree...but you do agree those who work on his staff can typically make 5x or more money in the private sector. You typically take those jobs as a way to serve your country, not a money play.
So in this case, if they are micromanaged, they will spilt. If micromanaged in the private sector while getting paid more than what others would pay, you typically stay.
That’s all I’m saying
No the real talent that he could draw from don't want the headache of dealing with the chaos Trump produces. Why work on messaging when with one tweet Trump will do a 180. Often twice in one day. Working in the Trump White House is neither a resume builder nore a promotion. When a man like General Kelly say this is the worst job I've ever had. That isn't a good advertisment for recruiting top public service individuals.
So, if what POTUS says about turning away the caravans is true, then why do we need a wall? I mean, according to him, we can keep people out with no wall
Yeah, I’m agreeing with this. The folks who work for him are to accomplished and don’t need to put up with his crap.
Let’s say the 8000 get turned away.
What do you think those 8000 people are going to do in the following days and weeks after being turned away?
We should probably put walls on the east and west coasts as well.
At least spell “border” right.
Anyway, research what EVERY HoR rep from border districts think about Trump’s end to end wall. (Spoiler: they. think it’s absurd).
One reporter with CBS News was surprised to hear an agent of the Border Patrol actually refer to the setting as a “crisis.”
During an interview with Fernando Grijalva, correspondent Mireya Villarreal was taken aback when the agent called the setting “the worst crisis I’ve ever seen.”
“You actually use that word, ‘crisis,’” Villarreal stated.
Grijalva simply responded: “Yes.”
“I’ve seen six different presidents in the time that I’ve been with the Border Patrol,” Border Patrol Agent Fernando Grijalva stated, “and this is the worst crisis that I’ve seen.”

Yet HROT liberals, with their extensive backgrounds in these matters, know more than the experts in the Border Patrol.
I see that you ignored my question, so I will ask it again:
So you are all about listening to the experts, huh? What is your stance on climate change? Since the experts in that field have reached a near-unanimous consensus that climate change is real and man-made, I presume you also believe that climate change is real and man-made, and that we must take immediate steps to combat it before it is too late?
From the same article.
"Nogales Mayor Arturo Garino said adding to the border wall, which his city has had for more than 20 years, would be ineffective. "We do not need a wall in Nogales," he said. "We need technology."
"Border Patrol agents have discovered at least 230 cross-border tunnels since 1990"
"On Monday, surveillance cameras near Yuma, Arizona, captured more than 100 migrants who scaled a wall with the help of a ladder. Last week, more than 300 asylum seekers in San Luis were arrested after they burrowed under a steel barrier."
Personally, I'm not opposed to the existence of a wall, I'm opposed to paying for it.
I agree. While I believe that more wall (than what we currently have) will not be cost beneficial, I would be more willing to consider it if there was a detailed plan for where more wall is needed, what existing walls need enhancement, the cost, the timetable for construction, etc. However, I think the reason we are not seeing this information is that it would only make it harder for Trump to justify the need for the "wall" funding.
My gripe about the wall of s that it is not about building a wall at all. A couple of years ago, Congress passed a bill allowing the wall to be built but then Trump rejected it...because his con friends in Congress refused any type of amnesty.
This discussion is about keeping brown skinned people out of the country. It has very little to do with a barrier.

Trumps arguments and attempts to sell the wall are horrible and the Nancy's counter argument is just as terrible. And then the supporters from each side just dig in there heels on yes vs no rather than having a true discussion and analysis of the situation. It is absolutely absurd.
Not to mention his twitter-verse...he tweets constantly like a 12-year-old girl. Imagine what he could accomplish if someone would confiscate his damn phone.
@NorthernHawkeye you seem to have missed my question again...it’s almost as if you are intentionally ignoring it.
