Why were these dems FOR border fencing before if it doesn't work? Even your dream gal Hillary was for it.
I have seen at least 3 or 4 high ranking border control agents say the wall is a needed tool to properly secure the border. That is good enough for me. I am not at the border (nor do I want to be), so I will take their word for it. As it is now, the border is porous at best. I hard someone say that you can see the trails leading away from the walled spots to where it does not exist, showing where people are moving away from areas difficult to cross to areas easier to cross.
We spend a lot more on our war on poverty, war on drugs, the TSA and the affordable care act.....and none of those work well either. 5 billion is a pittance for national security.
