    The 700+ miles that is already there is doing a great job.

    In instances like that, beefing up border security in those kind of areas would also be wise and prudent.

    I'm not familiar with the area enough to evaluate the thing. I'm just saying it doesn't make sense to me.

    Do you live near the 700+ miles that are doing a great job, or do you live where illegal immigration is still an issue?

    Perhaps it's time that you change your screen name from evangelist to something more appropriate?

    I find it odd that someone who calls himself an evangelist is applauding attempts to drive away those God has brought to his doorstep to minister.

    Trump is going to implement at 15% corporate tax which is one of the lowest in the world. This will significantly reduce the cost of doing business, allowing for a natural increase in wages.

    Sounds like the fence is doing a bang up job?

    Where it has been built, yes.

    Where it hasn't been built, not so much. :)

    Trump is not going to implement anything. Taxes, and tax rates, are the purview of the House of Representatives.

    So, you believe God is behind the influx of criminal illegal aliens into the US?

    I mean does the existing wall keep them out?

    It was never finished. However, the law was passed and the funds are available to complete it.

    It keeps them out where it is built, but there is still a problem where it has not been built.

    I expect Trump is going to build quite a magnificent border wall. Something we can be proud of and be rightfully secure behind. As a builder myself who strives for excellence I know such a project would be something I would want to feel real good about when it was done. I'll predict this project will be yuge...

    A few years ago China built a big wall. It has always been much better at keeping people in than keeping outsiders out.

    Hmmm, I wonder why there is a huge fence around the Whitehouse? Do you think it works?

    Crabby, have you ever seen the wall at Checkpoint Charlie? I would tend to think that the gates of the Mexican border are much more accessible than it was in West Berlin.

    I find it odd that someone that claims to have taught at the seminary level would be encouraging illegal immigration.
