Marvel at the Great Wall of White Nationalism that helped fend off the mongols!
The great wall was built to defend against invasion and attacks by norther tribes.
All hail the Israeli wall of white nationalism!
Israel's was to defend what they took, and keep taking.
A little history goes long way to make you look less foolish.
There are plenty of costly shit governments burn money on, and securing borders isn't one of them.
Yes, especially the amount of money that Trump is forcing down the Pentagon's black hole of defenses spending. Out of all the agencies, it's where money goes to disappear.
So, your argument is that it's fine to waste government money for zero results, and zero purpose.
Let's be clear, no one is invading, or attacking this country from Mexico. Oh, I know how white nationalists, and conservatives, love to use incidents involving immigrant from the south of the border to claim we are under attack, but you have a higher chance of being attacked by a shark, or hit by lightening. And guess what, we love our drugs in this country, and the only thing the drug war has done is increased their prices, and created more crime, because that is what outlawing stuff does - we saw this during the 1920's- 1930's prohibition
And even before Trump became president, immigration has been on the decline since the improvement of Mexico's economy. We also like cheap products and produce, which is why we continue to outsource jobs under Trump (and after the tax cuts) while hiring immigrant to work the field for pennies so you can buy stuff on the cheap. Anything that changes that will lead to higher prices, offsetting the tax cuts for those who are not in the wealthy bracket
And as I already pointed out, the wall is not going to stop immigrants from coming to this land by going under it (tunnels), by sea, or by air. It's not go to prevent drugs from entering the country because of the above ways to get around it. All they are going to do is just raise prices, so you can feel good about you own race and culture.
So, I'll let you have a choice. You can either admit your are a white nationalist, or you can admit you're are just plain ignorant. Or you can admit to both. I'll let you decide. No matter how you look at it, there is nor really good reason for the wall, or even to defend it. It's just a symbol of stupidity and white nationalism.
