A wall is a locked door. A wall is turning off your car. A wall is a password.

I'll sign up as one of your dumbaces. The examples you give are all self-contained. My house has four sturdy walls. When I lock the front and back doors and the downstairs windows, it is secure.

Our southern border is not self-contained, and is only one part of the problem (airports were discussed earlier in this thread). The border wall is the equivalent of trying to keep flies out of your house by hanging several fly strips on your front porch. Yeah, it'll get some. But you'll still be living with flies.

Donald Trump does not understand this. But I bet you do.

The United States of America is contained. It has a border. Try landing at O'Hare and sneaking in. You can't. Customs enforces our borders and immigration rules via walls and containment.

You want to ignore our national boundaries so that people can illegally migrate to this country to join the Democrat power base. Your plan is to run out the clock until 2020 when hopefully liberals have put in place the machinery necessary to tip the vote in a few key states over to the Democrats.

That is why we need a wall and need it now.
