Stopping mexican guerrilla tactics would help to sharpen our national defense and reserve forces.

No one addressing the feasibility of building a wall in a creek that floods occasionally?

"Uhoh an geographic feature that would prevent a fence from being constructed on the border? Better insult the person bringing it up so I don't have to think about it."

Since you're a brit (at least I think you are) I'll explain what an arroyo is. It's basically a dry creek that will flood periodically, and is common on the US-Mexican Border. Building a wall/fence would be unfeasible here due to the nature of an arroyo.

>implying its impossible to build a wall around it

Might not be impossible, but it's an major impediment and can still cause problems with construction. Say a segment of wall is built on a north bank of an arroyo. The ground under the wall would still get weaker and might give way and collapse the wall. Even if you forget about the hardships of building around these things, you have to remember that this will lengthen the wall making it more expensive and harder to patrol while giving it more weaknesses (more wall built more chance of that wall having a deficiency).

As already mentioned, the Berlin Wall, as well as the Great Wall of China

let's start shooting Mexicans who are not approved to cross. Have you seen the Berlin Wall? It's much worse than anything Trump wants.

As for the Great Walls of China, well, China was overtaken by the Mongols and later Manchu, even with their kill-on-sight policy. I don't think they were on the whole worth it.

1. spics leeching off the American gov costs more money than the wall

Agreed, which is why we should get rid of welfare.

2. so what? it can be repaired

There'll still be exploitable areas of the wall

I suppose, but even the best armor has weaknesses to it. It's an inevitability to the wall, and the geographic impediments make more of them regardless of the level of construction and maintenance than otherwise.

Why will the wall work?
Make America undesirable.

Ahem, tunnels.

>spic supports spic invasion

what a surprise, fuck off spic shill.

Don't jump to conclusions- you might fall off a cliff.

The wall only solves a small fraction of the "problem" and creates more problems in the process.

why not just make minefield?

40% of illegal immigrants come by plane. Maybe we should build a wall around airports.

why not just make minefield?

Because according to the Convention on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Certain Conventional Weapons Which May Be Deemed to Be Excessively Injurious or to Have Indiscriminate Effects which the us has signed and ratified, mines can only be used in conflicts and must be removed after the conflict is over. You can't just plop a whole bunch of the things down and leave them.

Also, imagine how much it would suck if some dude lost control of his herd of cattle and they opened up a huge hole in the minefield...

@ranek, im not a trump guy but ur acting like a wall means no mexicans will be allowed to immigrate, which is untrue

that must be your impression, I only argued about the use of a wall.

Actually, border walls have a surprisingly good success rate at keeping away the unwanted. As already mentioned, the Berlin Wall, as well as the Great Wall of China

first of all the berlin wall was built to stop the DDR population to illegally emigrate. and was not just a wall. it was rather a border zone with watch towers and snipers, a lot of barbed wire and self shooting devices.
The Wall of China was built to stop a military invasion. non of which was built to keep away immigrants.

It was also mentioned that 40% to 50% of illegal immigrants come by plane. criminal elements will not frighten off by a wall. so they will come anyways. this wall is just a retarded way to waste tax money.

and why not building a wall on the border to Canada? mexicans can easily come from there as well or from the sea. oh boy so many possibilities.=D

Because according to the Convention on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Certain Conventional Weapons Which May Be Deemed to Be Excessively Injurious or to Have Indiscriminate Effects which the us has signed and ratified, mines can only be used in conflicts and must be removed after the conflict is over.

I wasn't really serious, but it looks like these folk (and for that matter, USA government itself) aren't much for international conventions anyway.
