My biggest concern with any wall is the chance of ending up on the wrong side of it, in the wrong company.

America there is less than 30 years between Reagan’s “Tear down this wall” and Trump’s “Build up this wall”

The higher, wider and longer the wall you build, the more doors in it you need in order to survive and prosper.
The only benefit a Big Wall could bring, is improving your chances of getting those who can jump the highest or dig the deepest... if those are the ones you need.

PS. Now wall or no wall, if only we could divide the immigrants based on if whether they belong to those who when in Rome do as Romans do, or to those who in Rome do as they bloody like to do, so many differences in the debate on immigration would be resolved.
