    If it is 40,000 ft high it will take care of that.

    Look at how many liberal movie stars & politicians that have walls around their homes.

    Make Trumps shriveled little carrot feel bigger.

    Seriously, this idiotic idea never had any practical justification. Hiring 100 extra Border Patrol agents would do more good - but that doesn't create as good a photo op!

    If Trump wants to spend HIS money to build a wall around his personal property so his wife can sun-bathe nude, that's none of my concern. It also has nothing to do with spending billions in public money to build a monument to his ego.

    Are you suggesting a curtain instead of a wall?. John Candy could supply the curtain rings.

    but did tax payers pay for them? Did they cost around 20 billion? Big difference and why single out one party as I am sure there are many movie stars, politicians etc, from the republican party that have fences around their property?

    Also, it has been shown that around 90% of the illegal drugs coming into the country from the south come through the Port of entry. Wall won;t stop that and why there are much better methods that can be used for border security. Trump backed himself in a corner when he touted all over the US that Mexico will pay for the wall and now he's blaming others. I still think it's stupid but if Mexico paid for the wall, I would say oh well, at least it ain't costing us anything.

    Unfortunately, it's all about trumps ego and he is willing to hold hostage the American people so he won't be embarrassed. Pretty sad.

    We'll just throw rocks at the stewardesses.
    You don't think they'll then break out the tear gas, do you?

    I wasn't really trying to single out one party and as Ive said before many times Im not for a wall of any kind.
    I just get a kick out of watching movie stars talk about how a wall would work yet they have them round their homes. It would be better for them to say its not worth tax payer money instead.

    America does not have a problem with Mexicans taking pictures of us from the shrubbery, or tour buses full of Mexicans coming by to gawk at us, or Mexicans wanting to take selfies with us.

    In short, walls around houses are mostly for privacy, not to keep immigrants out.

    Crazy and stupid both seem to be reaching epidemic proportions.

    We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace. There is one sign the Republicans can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace. President Trump, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the United States and Mexico, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. Mr. Trump, open this gate. Mr. Trump...Mr. Trump, tear down this wall!

    Not sure I agree with that totally as many are secured with locking gates which is their right. Sure privacy is important but many of them are protected by body guards packing too. And I don't have a problem with that either. People just need to be sincere and truthful.
