You realize these illegal terrorists can come by plane and boat right? Like a wall stops South America but not the rest of the world, who’s to stop me from driving down to the states from Canada and staying there? And becoming an illegal? Now I’m white so I wouldn’t do that, but others would. What about the mud monkeys from over seas? They don’t go through a wall, they come from boats and planes .... CLOSE ALL BORDERS AND GROUND ALL PLANES. Completely unrealistic but that is the only way to completely stop illegals, then you shoot those that disobey.
Obviously that can’t be done, but you get my point

Still, 40% of them come across the border. Planes and boats cost money, which filters out some of the poors. If everyone had to pay $2000 to a smuggler to get into the US, there would be fewer poors, children, pregnant women, sick "people", and other shit. It's not about building something that's going to completely stop the flow, it's about reducing the flow to a more manageable rate.
Also, canadians may be faggots, but any canadian who immigrates to america is less faggy than average and they're certainly not going to be a drain on the economy. Canadian illegal immigration is a miniscule proportion of the total illegal immigration.

I don't get your point. That's like asking why you'd need a shield when you have a suit of armor. Knights still carried a shield in full suit for a reason. Why leave open a gaping point of entry, when you can block off an absolutely fucking GIGANTIC source of invasion, as well as drug, arms, and human trafficking?
Why wear a seatbelt? I have airbags.

If you think this will stop any drugs entering the country or make any difference to the drug problem you are retarded
