The wall has to cover over 1/3 of the U.S. and a distance pulled straight that is longer than LA to NY City, with costs that the border states can't cover and the federal level is ignoring.

Saying we haven't been doing anything about it, haven't made reform, new policies, before the States were FORCED to go this far, is a bit crazy.
