re: #226 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.
Yes, that’s true. The Maginot Line was effective in deterring the German Army - so much so that they did an end run around it, turned around and attacked it from the rear, and some fortresses still held out for over a month after Paris fell. But the border wall won’t even be as effective as that, let alone the fact that it won’t completely seal off the border.
