I stole this from my Brother:

How do you get into Heaven without passing through a gate?

You're that guy who's probably not getting in at this rate.

But hey, why should I talk about the numbers, when I can let your immigration mouthpiece speak for me:

Merely a response to your favorite Senator, Dan. Chuckles Schumer.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/c...modern-problem

"A wall can be scaled over. I'm sure those who love the wall, I'm sure they know of ladders. A wall can be tunneled under. I'm sure those who love the wall have heard of shovels. It's a medieval solution for a modern problem. A 'Game Of Thrones' idea for a world that is a lot closer to 'Star Wars.'"

This is Chuckles comments from September of 2017.

A wheel was certainly made well before medieval times as those days were 5th to 15th century while a wheel was likely made/built/discovered somewhere around 6500-5000 BC.

So yes, according to Chuckles, the wheel is at least 5,500 years ahead of a wall.

Rather than engage in pointless debate, how might the problem --or if you like-- crisis be solved?

I've already suggested a Giant Asteroid.

First thing you must admit is 2000 illegals are coming across our Southern Border every day.

Yes he should, but I don't think he will (by Executive Order) for two reasons:

First, the situation has been what it is for quite some time.

Second, the Congress holds the power of the purse.

What I think he will do ultimately is encourage the people to demand it.

this certainly doesn't help our situation either. just another steller exampler of the government allowing nearly anybody that wants to come here to come here. No matter the reason.

Just as soon as the wheel was discovered, man used it make wheel barrows to allow him to move mass quantities of bricks so he could build walls.

Lesson: Fences are deterrents.
Can you imagine what could happen at the White House if there wasn't a fence around it?

Fences and walls around cemeteries and yet people are still getting in every day.
