A giant wall between the US won't be any kind of cheap to either build or maintain. It's a waste of money that we don't have and that the side of fiscal conservatism is behind it is hypocritical at best. If we have billions to throw around how about making a payment on the endless wars we are involved in instead of putting them on the charge card? We would be a lot more secure if we weren't the world's largest debtor.

Funny, they said the same thing about Israel's plan to build a wall. Not like people saying the wall is pointless and a waste of money have an agenda to push or anything, right?
Also, the wall is there to save money, it's basically gonna pay for itself when you take into account just how many billions illegal aliens cost the US taxpayer year in, year out.

What's funny about it? The border between US and Mexico is huge. It's going to cost a fortune and like I said since we are $21T in debt. Paying that debt down is a higher priority than building some crazy wall. You don't need to worry about other people's agenda - just stick to facts and it's a non-issue.
I ask you to quantify those billions per year saved but I doubt you could. I think you pulled that straight out of your ass.
Edit: not Great Wall of China huge which is way longer than I thought but still fucking huge.
