Quote:Guess they have to make that "view on one page" button in 72 point font for you. It does mention chasing every potential tunnel is too expensive and that the makeup of the soil near the border is perfect for making tunnels. Nice to know you can continue your argument without reading the evidence which points out a wall is moronic. You don't want to even consider evidence which may make your argument invalid. You just want to stay on your same trajectory. That's cognitive dissonance. A wall that can be foiled by a tunnel is ineffective. That's common sense which is lost on you. Cartels control what comes across that border today. Drugs or people. Tunnel or not.

 

Everything can be beat so why even try, right?  Cameras can be beat.  Sensors can be beat.  Walls/fences can be beat.  Drags can be beat.  X's can be beat.  Roving patrol can be beat.  Radar surveillance trucks can be beat.  Checkpoints can be beat.  Ports of Entry can be beat.

 

The soil near the border varies.  It's not easy to dig tunnels in soft sand or rock.  San Diego is a lot easier than Yuma.  

 

We have evidence that a wall is effective.  It's called our current border fence.  Or Israel's fence.  Or the fence between the Koreas.  Even the Great Wall of China was effective for its original purpose.  The point being is that a wall or fence is just a tool.  A jet fighter isn't an effective tool of war if you don't have anyone who can pilot it.  A wall requires boots on the ground in conjunction with it.  To say, yeah, but they can dig under it is an oversimplistic way to try to defeat an argument for its effectiveness.  You can also fly over it and torch through it.  Like I stated earlier, look at Yuma, Arizona as evidence for its efficacy.  Yuma, Arizona was overrun and the busiest sector in the United States Border Patrol.  Yuma saw daily bonzai runs where hundreds of illegals would run past 2 or 3 waiting agents who could do nothing except pick up the people who hurt themselves and granny with her walker.  The fence went up and instantly Yuma goes from a quarter of a million apprehensions to completely shut down.  It takes more than just a wall or a fence, but to doubt that its a very useful tool is to have your head buried in the sand.
