This is clearly untrue rhetoric to try to push your agenda. Walls work. If walls don't work, why are they used all over the world, including, ironically, by the people claiming that walls don't work? It's like the pope publicly declaring that anyone using guns to stop violence is a hypocrite, while he literally surrounds himself with guards armed with guns! And incidentally, living in a walled city! The ability of people like you to remain in denial is quite remarkable.
So later in this very post you talk about American citizens including full time teachers (your example) being unable to make ends meet, which clearly indicates that the USA is not as prosperous as it once was and has countless people doing it really tough, but you expect them to put huge resources into helping the needy? Why is the USA dumped with this huge responsibility? The USA is clearly doing better than its southern neighbours, but you seem to be a global socialist believing they have a responsibility to take in anyone who would be better off living in the USA? Which country in the world allows anyone who wants to come in because it would improve their life?
Because they are illegal aliens. And proportionately, they do commit more crimes than American citizens or legal immigrants.
Again, if walls don't work, why do countries all over the world use them and why do you care anyway? If you genuinely think it'll be ineffective, why not sit back and laugh about it? You're either stupid or disingenuous if you're upset about something which you claim will do nothing.
Again, if you believe that these places are impassable, why do you care?
True, maybe we could also look at what Obama and Clinton said about the situation. Oh, but when they called for a wall on the southern border it wasn't racist, because the media was telling us to love them not hate them. Is that it?
Thing is, Trump literally won the presidential election and the wall was a very big part of his platform. You clearly don't believe in democracy when it doesn't go your way.
Red herrings again. At least Trump is less of a warmongerer than Obama so that must keep you at least a little happy, right?
Not really, it's just like in any country in the world with a few European exceptions (which are having extreme problems because of it!), they want to look after their country and freely allowing in everyone who wants to come in would be a problem. Which country lets in everyone who wants to enter?
Why do countries all over the world use them? If it won't work, why do you care so much? Where is this passion coming from if it won't do anything anyway?
Beside that old Great Wall of China, Hadrian's and those surrounding castles.. well, Israel... how many countries have a literal wall nowadays?
Sure, have your national boundaries; sure have securities and protect your border... You don't need to do it all with a literal, physical wall. Do you?
The southern border Trump plans to wall off is about 2.5K miles? That's some 5,000 Km right?
Sydney to Perth is 3,933Km. Melbourne to Cairns is 2,943Km... You're getting the scale of the project here right?
What's the price estimate again? From $US20Billion to $US25B?
It costs less than $1B to end homelessness in the US.
Freaking Trump and his repubs just recently cut back "entitlements" like giving American kids meal vouchers at school as that's often their only full meal in the day. Cutting back on seniors, the elderly their "benefits" and medicare... Pushing disabled and injured people back to work, giving them that "dignity" and all that bs else they won't get any pennies.
Do you know how far 1/20th of that proposed $20B for a stupid wall could go towards feeding and healing those Americans?
You heard of teachers protesting for a higher wage, walk off the job but some of them still pack lunches for their students because they know the kids won't get fed otherwise.
There are over 3,000 American cities where the water has high level of lead in it.
The list can go on and on...
So, Trump want his stupid billions for a wall.
How many wall, physical barriers do you think a refugee crosses to get to the US?

If Trump really do give a damn about the average Americans and their safety, their well being... he'd start by not giving $2Trillion in tax cuts to the corporate elite in under two years.
His admin wouldn't systematically deregulate, and then brag about cutting the most "red tapes" ever.
What are those red tapes? Pollution, fuel efficiency standards, payday lending etc. etc.
So why wouldn't anyone be upset and angry on hearing the nonsense he's spouting. That should be the question.
They're either ill informed, or just a total idiot. I'm leaning towards being ill-informed.

I don't care for Obama, or Billy Clinton, or Hillary.
As said before, those two black presidents are worst than Trump. Trump has always been a lying piece of crap who doesn't give a damn about anyone or anything but money. So he's just being himself, as lowly and amoral as that is.
Clinton and Obama came from poor working families. They knew what it's like to have nothing, be given an opportunity... and when presented with both the position and the opportunities to do something they know is right, they freaking chose money and power over those whose stories and effort they've used and manipulated to get to power.
So yea, they're lower than Trump. That's not saying Trump is any better a human being though.

As to the average Americans doing badly so why should their taxes be used to house and fed the poor foreigners.
For one, their taxes are being use to feed and house and subsidise those rich azzholes on Wall St and in high places right now.
They would rather, being decent human beings that most of them are, have those taxes be spent and "wasted" on their rundown roads, their freezing cold, sweltering mould infested schools... and help those in danger and in need of help as a few thousands often mean life and literal death.
Second, those come seeking refuge aren't coming to just take but not give.
ANyway, been said before.
As to illegals committing more crimes... well, beside that crime of illegally entering the US, studies have shown they commit way less crime than the average citizen group.
