Who doesn't know shit about your country? You, obviously. Pay attention:

1) There are more jobs going to Mexico. Just look at GM. More Jobs going to Mexico means less interest in crossing to the US. The Real ID program makes it harder to work illegally in the US. U.S. Unauthorized Immigrant Total Dips to Lowest Level in a Decade

2) Border Crossings have gone down. https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/sw-border-migration

3) None of the 38 Texas Congressional Republicans in Texas offered a complete endorsement of the entire border wall plan. https://www.texastribune.org/2016/12...stands-trumps/

4) 60% of Americans oppose the wall. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/most-am...cbs-news-poll/

5) It will damage the environment and devastate wildlife: https://www.texastribune.org/2017/03...s-border-wall/

One of the areas impacted would be the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge containing 400 bird species and 300 butterfly species. Tourism infuses $463 million into the local economy and sustains 6,600 jobs. Source: https://www.fws.gov/uploadedfiles/na...b-2011_508.pdf

6) It might be illegal. The Fifth Amendment’s Takings Clause states “nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.” However, nothing in that provision expressly gives Congress the power of eminent domain, which allows the government to acquire privately owned land if it’s for public use.

Is that enough for you?
