#1 The Wall and control of the border will deprive the Dems of new voters and that is a great threat.

#2 The fall in population pressure on rents, lowered use of extortion funded services such as roads, schools and hospitals and undercutting wages will also lower the amount of economic-rent available for donors of the Dems (and GOPe).

Of course it will be GLORIOUS for Americans.

#3 Eventually the Dems will move a useful idiot or two into a place of power in the Immigration and Nationalization service (like nearly every other department in the Federal Government) and they'll stop looking for folks that overstay their visa's (because resources) then what? GOP should be considering this sort of thing now, increase the number of work visa's combined with heavy, heavy penalties for overstaying or attempting to vote.

#4 Those overstaying should be paid for by a guarantor.

So someone who does a runner, the guarantor is on the hook for their tax, and that tax is at east what the average American would pay.

Charity should be paid for Voluntarily or it is Theft. Such a difficult concept for many people to grasp.

#6 How about deportation and a lifetime ban on *any* type of visa? For knowingly overstaying your visa.

#9 Assuming he can massage the funding, the wall will be as much symbolic as physical.

Every inch of the thing being constructed will be painfully reported on by the media.

And it will continue to be constructed.

And every load of cement may as well be salt being publicly poured onto the wounds of those opposing the genuine barrier.

Let us hope they continue to demonstrate their historical grasp of learning.

#10 I recall OldSpook and some others explaining long ago that we don’t actually need to wall the entire border, as long stretches are reasonably impassible. Rather, key sections need to be walled in order to funnel the movement of illegals to areas that can be easily defended. I’m not sure the term kill boxes was used, but that is how I picture the concept.

Routing traffic from Civilian populace and into more difficult land structures is a great help to protecting OUR Citizens and infrastructure in the border towns and Ruals.

The import is to route it away from possible prime target areas for cartels, jihadis, cyotes, etc.

#12 The Security Dividend is based upon denial of access, kids. So yes.

A "kill box" or "honey trap".

#13 I think honey trap might have been it. Thank you for explaining, newc.
