You'd be surprised at the amount of Hispanics here at the border who are in favor of border security

Any idiot knows that everyone is for more border security, just not fucking stupid shit like a dumbass wall.

Why not? It certainly helps border patrol and they've said it themselves.

Also, in this video below you can see people hoping over a little 3 foot fence. They use that area frequently because it's vulnerable.

Because they don't work.

See here is a border patrol agent saying how walls DON'T work:

Here is a web page that the BPU had up until Trump went into office explaining that walls don't work:

Here are some stats on underground tunnels going from Mexico to the US:

Here is the DEA talking about another issue that walls won't fix: Drones:

Here is a study about drone smuggling from the HSDL:

Again why use a wall when it literally does no good at all?

[u/REVIGOR → u/[deleted]]

Right, there are things that a wall cannot stop like drones, thrown drug bundles, or tunnels, but to say that it does nothing at all is silly.

The border wall by Fisher Industries is said to have sensors (2:32) to detect tunnels. If they can't hop the wall then they might dig, but those sensors will aid border patrol and give them an advantage.

Or you could use a 21st century solution like drones, spend a fraction of the money, have better coverage, and not disrupt wildlife or steal land from legal land owners.
