Wrong? So no drugs come across the border? What if those lengths were no longer worth it? What if it was cheaper to just sell them elsewhere? More work to get them in, more cost, less drug use, less money going across the border. Once the border wall is taken care of, and money is being saved, where do you think they will focus on next?

I didn't say "no drugs come accross the border".
Most drugs come in, 'legally'.
And again, the border wall isn't the money saver you think it will be.

You did say wrong. So unless wrong and right are simply grey area's, well.
Is that also where most of the money is made?
Then why the great wall of China? Why the Berlin wall? Why the American southern border wall? Did we just realize now it was all a waste when we should have simply been creating as many starving, non armed humans as possible to stand guard?

Why work in terrible conditions for min wage when you can pretend to look for a job and collect welfare? You do realize you said working a job that provides the one thing people have to have, no question, that's mass produced, isn't worth it right? American's also don't seem to care about protecting their borders and fellow citizens within them.
|
And how many people do you think are collecting welfare?
Why work in terrible conditions for min wage, when you get 50% higher pay at Walmart?
The wall isn't about protecting our border. There isn't an army of criminals coming across the border, regardless of how many times it gets claimed.

That was one example.
Why work at all when you can game the system? Why pay more for food when you can spend that money on replacing your 6 month old 'ancient' outdated cell phone? $100 more for food this year, that's outrageous! $250 more for a new phone that's slightly larger? I need to get in line no matter the wait!
What's the wall there for then? Just for show? So what, climate change isn't about saving the planet no matter how many times it get's claimed?

Part of the point of a wall is to at least flat line if not decrease spending in that area. Once it's built, if done correctly, other than maintenance here and there and border patrol to verify the wall isn't breached, the wall should save money overall. Why are the Dems saying more needs to be spent on manpower and tech? That's what would need to be done without a proper physical barrier and would get more costly over time.

If only there was an analysis done on that to actually check to see if it actually saves money.

The problem with analysis is it's not good enough. Same reason why science requires you to experiment multiple times in the same way with certain variations to make sure it actually works when put into practice, because people's thoughts, as scientific as they may be, don't simply prove everyday reality.
