re: #368 McSpiff

Well, I’ll spell it out clearly for you then. If the barrier with Mexico costs $10 million/year and it keeps no one out, we can probably agree its an absolute failure. If it keeps 100% out, we’d probably agree its a total success. The truth, as always, will lay somewhere in the middle. How much are you willing to spend per illegal to keep them out?

East Germany was spending billions on their wall, but it kept the entire country in. Is that something Americans would be willing to do?

If the current border costs $10/mile and is all but completely ineffective, then a truly effective border would cost at least ten times as much.
