Grasp for those straws, sweetheart.Yep. That 400 some odd miles of border is totally comparable to the almost 2,000 mile continental perimeter we share with Mexico. It's in real populated areas, too.
Walls work. Always have. I've become so disinterested in this irrational, abject defeatism that I now favor policy pitches on costs. You should try to help poor @Rod1 pull his failed argument out of the miasma where it was revealed he doesn't know anything about our drug problem at all (he literally believed that most junkies started out on legally prescribed drugs for an ailment):

I'm going to actually have to make the opposing argument for him because he does not even understand what the arguments made were. The counterargument has nothing to do with believing that a wall couldn't more effectively deter the drug trade. The best counterargument to the wall is the inevitable instability it would wreak on Central American counties like Honduras whose GDP is literally 20% American remittances.
This reminds me I have to go smash him up a bit.
