Your walls are stupid archaic examples of backwards uncivilized ideology.   
Your head is in the clouds leaving you free from any economic realities. The left hasn't completely ran out of other people's money, yet.

"...you don't belong here either."

It is not about, "What makes you better than them?" Maybe some world history now, as an older adult, would give you a different perspective.

I have been watching his speech from El Paso. People can hate the guy but there is no chance he has dementia. Clear as a bell.

The point is just overstated. WW2 was more than once in a lifetime event. The world was dramatically changed. That's all.

I think a minority of Americans would believe the wall is immoral. I am suspicious of a poll that says otherwise. It is a weak argument. Dems have supported a wall before Trump took office. The, "I have a ladder" routine is just silly. Detecting people isn't the solution if there isn't a barrier. Walls are needed to funnel people to spots more easily controlled.

Average Tax Refund Down 8%

How am I hurt if tax laws make it easier for Richard to lease a GT3? It might make him a better person.

Bill Maher On Trump And The Wall

Posted By Mel Maki

The audience shrieks when the laugh sign lights up. Might be funny, might not. It isn't humor, it is politics. What Maher is saying is insignificant next to the statement the wall is immoral. For generations walls have been effective. Trump is elected and walls are declared useless. It is not enough to detect people. Agents can easily be outnumbered. A barrier is needed to direct people into areas that can be controlled. 
Politicians know Americans will fall into step behind the party they support. A party full of conniving hustlers that feather their own nests, insult our intelligence, and get re-elected ninety percent of the time. Liars are paid to convince us we are more correct than the other guys. That satisfies most. Easier than understanding that politicians are driving the country into bankruptcy is saying the politicians they support have this under control.
People running the media decide Jussie Smollette's problems are big news and people say ok.

At border checkpoints and at airports and under ground in tunnels and not with migrants moving around borders and around the walls. 
Your great deal maker had his chances and he blew it. Where was he with his so-called crisis when he had his own party controlling congress for two years? He had a MUCH better bipartisan deal before that he agreed to and then reneged upon and then the last one which wasn't as good closed the govt down and now the one he does sign gives him even less and he agrees to that? Oh, it's time to roil out the crisis along with his bogus lie that we're "finishing the wall". Other than some previously planned repairs and modifications on the existing barriers, there hasn't been an inch of new wall anywhere despite what Trump claims. There's your liar in chief at work..'
"spontaneous"
Yes, Maher's audience screams when Republicans are insulted. Been doing it for a lot of years like trained seals.
Do you really need a list of walls that are effective? A lot of walls are built in a lot of places. Ask Israel.  In so many areas that need more security walls go up. Does the chance that somebody could get over or under stop the construction? Why does everybody but anti-Trumpers think walls are effective. To think that Trump could destroy the effectiveness of walls just by getting elected! Powerful man.

Because other places are thought to move more drugs we don't need a wall? Stands to reason where a lot of agents are gathered they would find more drugs. How do you know drugs aren't moved in other areas?Not catching drugs in areas other than checkpoints, tunnels, and airports doesn't mean they don't use those areas not fenced. How could anybody know?

Why don't you want a secure border that could be shut down? Do you agree with Pelosi they are immoral?

If a couple of Dem politicians told you to your face they would like to take every gun you would tell me not to worry they aren't coming for my gun.
