Some people say Biden's hands are too rough, and he isn't willing to remove his dentures first:

It would be a fraction of what we spend on foreign aid every few months. The original estimate was 5 billion for a border wall. Bidens most recent request for ukraine/Israel aid was 100 billion

5 billion estimate, eh? Someone I know said once, "Government is a business with no threat of ever going out of business for being inefficient. So it's inefficient."

In any case, a rational person would probably conclude that spending on supporting Ukraine and Israel is far, far more efficient than building a rube monument across thousands of miles of desert.

Most illegals walk right into the country. A wall would stop that. It's simple

It would be more effective than a masks ability to stop covid, which slips right through the holes. And you guys swear by masks

A person can't slip through a solid wall. Walls have been effective for thousands of years

Ron DeSantis said this yesterday:

DeSantis: Trump could have made Mexico pay for border wall

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Wednesday took aim at former President Trump over his “failure” to make Mexico pay for the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

DeSantis said Trump, the 2024 presidential GOP front-runner, was “rationalizing that failure” by claiming he had no way to make Mexico pay.

“I do think when he’s saying things, like in Iowa the other day that well, you know, he couldn’t follow his campaign promise to have Mexico … pay for the border wall because there was, quote, no legal mechanism he could have used to have Mexico pay,” DeSantis said during an interview on The Hill on NewsNation. “He’s rationalizing that failure.”

“The problem is that was his main campaign promise,” DeSantis said. “I was at the rallies. It was fun. Everyone was cheering that.”

DeSantis suggested the former president was making “excuses” about Mexico not contributing funding and pledged to follow through on that campaign promise if he becomes president.


“When he’s saying that he couldn’t get the job done, look, I wanted to send the message: I will get the job done. I’m not going to make excuses,” the governor said. “We’re done with the excuses. We’ve got to figure out a way to do it.”

“And I will deal with the border. I’ll have the wall,” he continued. “We’ll take on the drug cartels, which is really what should have happened a long time ago.”

[...]

Pretty easy to spot and stop invaders than have to bring in ladders isn't it? Very cumbersome. People even had time to photograph it

You're playing the greatest hits today, I see. And they're all stupid in their own silly ways, like snowflakes of dumb!

* People are resourceful. It's not economically feasible (let alone tenable from an environmental and humanitarian standpoint) to build an effective wall.

* MASKS ARE NOT FOR PROTECTING THE WEARER FROM COVID. How many fucking times do we need to go over this.

* Go tell Israel that walls work.

All walls are not for protecting the illegal immigrant
And that is precisely why it is silly to compare this wall (protecting what's inside from what's outside) to Covid masks (protecting what's outside from what's inside).

overall cost of living up 13% since 2021

food up 20% since 2021.
Those are huge increases in a short time. A much more realistic perspective of the economy than these other Cherry picked numbers
This is art, man.

"The cherry picked numbers I like are a much more realistic perspective economy than those other cherry picked numbers I don't like."
to be fair those aren't cherry picked numbers. Those are overall numbers including all those that either side wants to cherry pick.
