    As you know, I do have a desire to discuss it. That's why I reply in detail to your arguments, rather than collapsing into a pathetic puddle and just claiming it's "word salad" to try to cover for my lack of a substantive response.

    Are you saying that a 30 foot steel wall WILL NOT deter any of the illegals from entering the US??
    No. I expect some small portion of the undocumented migrants will be deterred.... for example, those among them who are both acrophobics and claustrophobics, such that both climbing a ladder and going into a tunnel are too daunting.... especially if they're also aquaphobics and aerophobics, such that just coming by water or plane isn't going to work. But, I can think of better ways to have my hard-earned tax dollars spent than a $70 billion boondoggle that might deter a tiny handful of migrants. There's a reason that this idea of a border-long wall has never been pursued in hundreds of years of having that border in place, even in periods with much higher rates of illegal crossing. It's a stupid-ass idea. It's just that now that the Right's God King has proposed it, they're insisting that we're all supposed to pretend it makes sense.

    And that can then be addressed, after we concentrate on those entering illegally "on foot"; because I have a solution for those arriving on and then over staying their Visas.

    Then let's discuss it, without you making references like "acrophobics and claustrophobics", "wrapping your house in gold leaf", a "tiny handful of migrants", and things like "the Right's God King"; because that really doesn't show a "desire" to talk, it just shows that you want to denigrate opposing ideas.

    Look, I get it. You don't like your foolishness pointed out, so those points hurt your feelings. Here's the thing though: I don't care. It's simply not my job to protect you from the realization of your own shortcomings. If you want to talk about the issue, gird your loins and wade into the discussion. Don't expect to be babied. I don't nerf my arguments.

    Another one bites the dust
    Another one bites the dust
    And another one gone, and another one gone
    Another one bites the dust
    Hey, I'm gonna get you, too
    Another one bites the dust
