#1 The 'Wall' is a military and national defense project.

The ROK being a possible exception. Since 1948, I can only see one "nation building" effort that has actually worked.

#4 Previous administrations have done little except diddle this dog. Glad to see Trump follow through on his promise. If we don't have border control, we don't have a country and the problems continues to fester.

#5 Still believe the first mile in from the border, outside of incorporated towns and cities, should be declared a military zone.

#6 Existing barriers are in the highest traffic areas. Makes sense to upgrade those first.

#7 Seems like a good idea P2K. A secure border would get rid of a lot of human and narcotics trafficking. I don't know that it would curb cartel money laundering. 2012 article on money laundering in U.S. banking system by cartels. A wall would curb the flow of illegal Dem voters.

#8 Unmentioned or remarked is the failure assumption of the Mexico control motivation effort.
