The real solution to the immigration problem isn't a wall, its removing the incentive for just anyone to come here.
I don't have a problem with a wall on the border but what is currently there even after Trump had portions of it fixed is still not nearly sufficient due to the massive network of underground trafficking tunnels. If the only solution you want is physical security then it needs to be air, surface, and subterranean.
In the 1800s and 1900s America was able to have a far more open immigration policy because there was no incentive for handouts (welfare state). If you wanted to come here it was because you were willing to work and assimilate into the culture and strive for the America Dream.
I agree at this point due to how many enemies America has as well as how advanced technology has gotten overall that it makes sense to have a more strict immigration policy, as well as certain levels of physical security, because there is a higher chance that bad actors will attempt to come in.
In the end though, fixing our immigration issue will never be fixed by physical security alone. The welfare state has to go as it has destroyed far more lives then it has helped and it only incentives people to come for handouts instead of those people coming with useful skills that will make America a better place for everyone.
It used to be if you were down on your luck, you went to your church and asked for help. Everyone in the church community knew you and they would decide whether you really needed the help, or were just pulling a scam. You also had to give up your pride and face your peers. There was a lot of incentive to get off your rear and work in this scenario.
Welfare makes the person asking for money anonymous, so no one feels bad or ashamed for asking. No one else knows whether you're telling the truth or pulling a scam and they don't care, either. It creates more government jobs. Fill out the paperwork and here's your check. The government doesn't pay them, the taxpayer does. There's no incentive to end the cycle.
Think of it as people finally getting what they ask for. In mortality, tyrants want to make wherever they live a hell instead of moving to one, with the idealistic promises of not having any work or responsibility. After death, they must be in a hell without being able to force it on others as they did previously.
AMEN!!!!!
Truth is the finest dope.
I actually laughed out loud.
