          Or a plane ticket.

          The vast majority of illegal immigration from Mexico into the United States is done by people simply overstaying their visas. So building a wall would have literally no effect because they’re not actually wandering across the border in any significant number.

          Obviously some people do come across that way, but not the majority.

          this is why you shoot the ones with the ladder first. C’mon, haven’t you ever watched LOTR?!

          (For the record I hate the thought of this. but this guys…entire thing was shooting them from atop the wall.)

            I watched far too many Trump speeches, and he never suggested shooting them off the wall, instead he said the wall would be so insanely high that once they got over it there would be no way to get down. Of course he forgot about rope.

              trump didn’t have to. It was implied. All of his little ass-lickers knew that was the next step. Plumber and the others advocating for walls know that there’s no point in having a wall if nobody is defending it.

      Yeah. Literally who? Maybe if he was some antivaxx crackpot who ended up dying of a vaccine preventable disease. At least that’d be some leopards ate my face content.
