That's your "grandpa's" fence. Trump's full plan for our wall will be one that is practically impenetrable.
Anyway, I am no longer going to participate in a discussion about the wall on this thread. Enough has been said. It is a distraction, imo.
Why don't you start a thread of your own about the pros and cons of a wall and various types and styles of walls. Many would probably gladly participate.

So the shot from the video proves that walls work.
La goblina was caught because she couldn't get under the wall.
Good thing, I am sure US citizens would have had to support her and her children.

No, she got across with a kid and was stopped by BP. The wall didn't stop her.

I will direct you to a FAIR study regarding the cost of illegal immigration for tax paying citizens here
Why? It has no bearing on what I am saying.
It's a drop in the bucket, and the wall will help. Immigration reform cannot work without strong border security and strong border security will not work without immigration reform.
Is strong border security a goalpost shift from "the wall"?
Immigration reform will not change drug and human trafficking.

No it won't because border agents can still be bribed, tunnels dug and people who will obviously overstay their tourist visas will still be given those visas.
Oh yeah, drones and spud guns can go into the mix.

I see. I was talking in regards to other boarder security measures.
Now that you mention it, I have read that illegals make up 2-3% of the GDP. That is around $500-$600b. That little bit seems to be left out when people talk about the cost of illegals.
Of course I see the hypocrisy of both sides kicking the can down the road every chance they get. It is one of the reasons that I say that things are not really changing.

Nearly 50 victims were rescued. More than a dozen of them were children.
Two weeks after leaving her position as an intelligence analyst for the U.S. National Security Agency in 2014, Lori Stroud was in the Middle East working as a hacker for an Arab monarchy.
She had joined Project Raven, a clandestine team that included more than a dozen former U.S. intelligence operatives recruited to help the United Arab Emirates engage in surveillance of other governments, militants and human rights activists critical of the monarchy.
In 2013, her world changed. While stationed at NSA Hawaii, Stroud says, she made the fateful recommendation to bring a Dell technician already working in the building onto her team. That contractor was Edward Snowden.
“I don’t think Americans should be doing this to other Americans,” she told Reuters. “I’m a spy, I get that. I’m an intelligence officer, but I’m not a bad one.”

A team of former U.S. government intelligence operatives working for the United Arab Emirates hacked into the iPhones of activists, diplomats and rival foreign leaders with the help of a sophisticated spying tool called Karma, in a campaign that shows how potent cyber-weapons are proliferating beyond the world’s superpowers and into the hands of smaller nations.
Karma and similar tools make personal devices like iPhones the “juiciest of targets,” said Patrick Wardle, a former National Security Agency researcher and Apple security expert.
