   This is a simple question. Every Democrats have come out against building a wall.
   They say it is too expensive, it won’t work and it is inhumane, it is racist and it is un Christian... every excuse I heard...
   The question is this - if not a wall, then what is your Idea? I want to know how exactly will you Democrats keep our border secure?
   Or if not, why not?

      Marie Flint: The next time some alt-righter white nationalist tries to talk you into supporting a useless 2,000 mile pile of concrete wall which only exists somewhere lurking inside Donald Trump's sick little mind, just show them this:
      
      We don't need to waste billions upon billions of our tax-payer dollars on this monstrously ridiculous, ill-conceived notion anyway because some nut case is raising money privately through some type of "Wall-A-Thon" and God knows where that money will end Up but good for him and his right wing donors: He actually should have waited a few decades until all the law suits are settled and all the private property was confiscated by Bozo Trump's feds if that ever happens, but hey, nobody ever accused a Trump follower who gives money to an individual who will probably flee to Russia after a few million is donated of being Albert Einstein, and that's apparently the way they like it:
      
      Anyway, given the perpetual chaos and crisis we are trying to endure on a daily basis which everyone knows is absolutely unsustainable and given Secretary of Defense former Chief General Mattis' dire warning about Mr. Trump in his resignation letter, even if the great wall were ever to be built Donald will probable be in prison shining Bubba's sneakers as the ribbon cutting happens:

         Show them what?  An ill conceived, unsupported opinion from someone that doesn't have a clue if it will be effective or not?
         
         When you can produce real world evidence that walls don't work, then you can make such a statement with at least some validation.  Until then you're going against dozens of other countries that have walls that work.

            lol, maybe other countries don't know what a $50 ladder is: lol: aside from the last remaining Trump followers, most human beings understand the fact that ladders are designed for an individual to easily hop over a big useless pile of concrete some people call a wall:
            
            Or, they can simply tunnel under or fly over it: It's the dumbest idea in history and biggest waste of tax-payer dollars in history but what else could anyone possibly expect from the perhaps dumbest illegitimate president in history who will be removed soon ??
            
            Just in case some missed it, here's the ladder again, up against a big useless wall, waiting for humans to use it to easily climb over the wall: lol UNREAL:

   In my original open letter to Trump that I publicly posted on Linkedin in February, I mentioned disapproval of a wall. I further said, however, that if he felt it absolutely necessary, that it be removed as soon as goals were achieved.
   
   I am non-partisan. The problem is drugs. Focusing on a strong social and economic base within the U.S., along with prayer, will do more to effect change than any wall. We don't need to repeat an Iron Curtain scenario.

      You failed to answer the question " if not a wall, then what is your Idea?"
      
      What do YOU propose for boarder security?
      
      Before you use the term Iron Curtain you should do some studying of history.  It is obvious you don't know the meaning of the term.  The Iron Curtain was in reference to the Communist Soviet Union keeping people inside it's countries.  It had nothing to do with illegal entry into a country. Do you realize that is a huge difference?

      What is your objection to a wall?
      There are currently 77 countries that have walls.
      For one reason or another, they were needed and the countries built them.
      The original wall was of course The Great Wall of China. Unlike the Iron curtain, it was built to keep out the Mongol invaders...
      You have no solution and our country is going downhill anf becoming a 3rd world nation in some of or cities.
      In some US cities, you cannot find English as a first language.
      In some US cities, you have the majority being from a different country...
      In some cities, you have drug problems and criminals being protected by sanctuary policies...
      Why?
      Why would a whole country lends itself to its own destruction? And half the population support this policy? And vote politicians that share this same mentality?
      What is so objectionable about a wall?
      Did you know Obama and Zuckerberg both build walls around their houses? Why is that OK? And yet a wall around our country NOT OK?

      By the way, if you have an alternative proposal that does not include a wall and secure our borders, I am perfectly willing to hear it and if it works, I will vote to support it or at least try it...  that has been our problem. Our politicians don’t want a wall but yet, they lie and tells us they are for border security...and behind the scene does not support any form of protection. It is just insanity.

         Here is the book everyone should read. It was written in 2002 and we see it come to fruition in Germany and the UK and France...in 2018.
         This is happening with the support of the government and some who voted for them...sad.

      Wait.  You support a wall if he feels it absolutely necessary...but then demand it be torn down when it is effective?  Not following the train of thought here.
