Well, one thing we can use the wall for is completely wrecking the environment and wildlife in that area.

Yes, but it might work as a giant clothes drying rack.The steel slated barrier for border security wouldn't probably work as well as a concrete slabbed wall for bouncing off a handball or racquetball .
Since the wall will not fulfill its primary duty we must work on Plan B.

Think positive thoughts. Besides, I am sure that wildlife will respect international borders.

I am thinking positive thoughts, I think the wall will not be built.

Why is that "positive" in your opinion?

Me too. But just in case we need to be ready with other uses of the wall.

A reasonable compromise between a wall and no border security barrier is a well patrolled beautiful steel slated effective border security barrier....

It is a waste of money that does not actually address the root of the problem nor will it solve the problem. It will wreck havoc on the local environment/wildlife and is just a physical manifestation of the racism that still runs deep in America that incorporates a cruel isolationism which goes against these words on our Statue of Liberty, "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door! "

The statue of Liberty is a monument for legal immigration. ....Right?

I must have missed that line in the poem. Could you quote it for me?

I was going to mention that, but when he said: "just a physical manifestation of the racism....", I threw in the towel and gave up on him.
...Beyond help at that point.
You think?

I think it should be self explanatory that the statue of liberty does not represent lawlessness. That would be the Statue of Anarchy.
Here would be a good replacement. Her face is like: I don't give **** about rules.

Aye, we don't.
We don't even need legal ones.
But we admit them because we want to.

The statue of Liberty is located near a legal port of entry, Ellis Island, where many documented migrants were vetted and processed before granted legal entry in the United States. The Statue of Liberty's inscription is intended to be read by us native Americans or legal immigrants who came from Europe into the United States. If some non English speaking illegal immigrant were to ask a translator to interpret the meaning of the Statue of Liberty's inscription, then this trespasser has no legal basis to be anywhere on U.S. soil.
I'm fine with a barrier to stop illegal immigration but concerned about its environmental effects and effects on animals. It probably won't stop the problem, anyway, so it's most likely just a waste.

Or is it that we're afraid of what people will call us if we don't admit them?
Some people are very concerned with what Europe thinks of us.

Speaking of hypocrisy, how many liberal Democrats do live in mansions surrounded by a security barrier, but these gated community dwellers oppose an effective border security barrier?
