Is a border wall design flawed?

1 Answer

Answer :

The whole idea of the border wall is flawed. It’s terrible and destructive for wild animal populations. IMO creating another environmental disaster is more than enough reason not to do it. It’s not going to stop illegal immigration, at all. It’s a ridiculous waste of effort, materials, and taxpayer money. It’s a giant offensive symbol of xenophobia and intolerance and fear. It’s ugly and stupid. Future generations will remember the wall (aborted project, hopefully) as a physical symbol for how fear and ignorance drove us to follow an idiot clown con-man, deface our landscape, destroy innocent animals, for a pointless xenophobic ****-barrel project.
