THE BORDER WALL

Mr. Trump said today (January 10, 2019) that a “Wall will work.”  How many lessons do we need to tell us that “Walls don’t Work.”  The most recent wall to come down was the Berlin wall.  In Ancient times it was the great wall of China.  Walls do not work because the maintenance costs are so high.  Once the crisis is gone there is no need for a wall and the money is wasted.  If walls really worked every country in the world would put up walls.  The “crisis” raised by Mr. Trump is a “manufactured” crisis to protect his ego and allow him to say “I won” similar to his response to the Cavanaugh hearings.  If Mr. Trump doesn’t win he will always have someone else to blame.  There is no real crisis requiring an emergency response. Lets put money into making major changes to our immigration system and make it First Class by employing many more agents and set about improving and speeding up the court system to handle all legitimate refugees that appear at our border.
