    Maybe we shouldn't have highways. People cross them and they can be damaged by seismic activity.

    Plus prison walls are militarized with tower guards, the only way the Trump Wall would work is if they stationed the Army on the Wall 24/7, in which case they wouldn't even need the a wall

    By design, highways main purpose isn't to keep people from crossing them but rather make transportation quicker and more efficient

    The purpose of borders is to mark national boundaries. Without barriers, they are easily transgressed.

    Many highways are enclosed with fencing and walls, but people cross them anyway. Using liberal logic, they shouldn't be built, right?

    I'm OK with armed border guards in lieu of a wall. Razor wire, moats, maybe minefields, too.

    the border wall's main purpose is to make the apprehension of illegal aliens quicker and more efficient......

    A wall would provide a vantage point from which to fire upon invaders, too.

    Underachievers would dig tunnels, according to DEMOCRATS.

    So a fence like Obama and the Dems built is the way to go? I think a wall is stupid.
