Trump border wall: Texans receiving letters about their land

In my opinion, the wall will not make us safer. Just like the military adapts to different obstacles, so will people who want to cross. The problem is not building the wall, the problem here is the money. Money that will be spent not because the wall will make us safer, but because president Trump will say he built the wall and he can take credit for it, nothing else. President Trump is more worried about his own glory than anything else. Just remember, he won't be there more than 8 years and then what? This is America and there is no such thing as right or wrong answer on this. We are entitled to our opinion, and everyone has one.

The wall is stupid. I cannot imagine a circumstance where it is a reasonable use of tax dollars. It will not stop illegal immigration at all (most illegal immigrants don't run across the border). It also will not even slow the cartels.

The only reason it will be built is because Trump said he would build it if he won, and that is a stupid reason.

And before anyone says it, yes I do live in one of those border states (Texas, to be exact). It will not be beneficial. That's a guarantee.

The funny part is, we have treaties with Mexico that prevent structures from being built in certain areas. One town is next to a floodplain, and building a wall there could push flood waters through towns on both sides of the border. I forget, is Trump cutting FEMA? We're about to Trump up that government spending.
