I'm not against the wall because it's "immoral" I'm against it because it's a colossal waste of taxpayer money. There are FAR more cost effective ways to improve border security.

PO2 Robert Aitchison Exactly what are those methods, other than a wall to slow or stop illegal immigration? Walls have been used for centuries to stop invading armies. I am sure they can stop unarmed illegal aliens.

Cpl Jeff N. - Electronic detection nets plus increased border patrol manning. Physical barriers make sense in urban areas but the vast majority of the border is in extremely remote locations with no civilization for dozens of miles in any direction.

The wall is the kind of idea a 12 year old might come up with if you asked them how to stop people from coming over.

It's not an either-or situation. We are fully capable of using electronic detection nets and whatever else along with the wall, and I expect we will. The interesting thing about a wall is the tires never go flat, the suspension never breaks, the batteries never die, you don't have to clear the runway before using it, etc.

Walls are absolutely effective. It's a tried and true solution to the problem of invasions that has worked for millennia. That's the real reason people oppose it.

Imagine if we had honest journalism in America. Imagine the problems that would never have occurred...

So far, what do you think about the Canadian journalism that I have posted on Rally Point? As you know, this is a Canadian story written by a former Canadian ambassador to Israel.

Sadly I haven't paid attention sufficiently to form an opinion. I will try to do better in the future
