Much better than digging a hole in the ground or buying up property along the border.

I'll agree on the hole-in-the-ground schtick which I guess I attribute to a social experiment.

As far as the border property, I wish more people of consequential power/capital would follow their lead and buy up border property. The wall is preposterous and any form of resistance is credible in my eyes.

>The wall is preposterous

Why? This site is obviously biased, but it presents a case for the wall saving us money: https://cis.org/Report/Cost-Border-Wall-vs-Cost-Illegal-Immi...

I'd rather spend money on dumb, long-term tech like that instead of our ridiculous military budget.

The wall was certainly a success for San Diego: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxhhjfiSy2Y

What's preposterous about the wall? It's not useful but plenty of far more expensive government projects are useless (e.g. Joint Strike Fighter etc.) But I see people opposing the wall more than the Joint Strike Fighter.
