Don’t they have a wall on their southern border? Let’s see, migrating birds can fly over. We could leave small holes for lizards and bugs to crawl through. Other than that, what wildlife is there?

Why don’t they put the concern towards preventing people from getting their heads chopped off by the cartels?

It definitely would harm the drug- and people-smuggling environment. And Mexico would lose its safety valve.

Anyone on either side of the border who says a wall won’t work, know it will work.

I saw a show on how Jaguars were again being spotted in the southwest. There are migrating back from Central America. Maybe we build Jaguar bridges...

Suddenly, miraculously, unprecedentedly, Mexico gives a rat’s azz about the environment. Yeah, sure they do.

One thing’s certain — once the wall is built it’ll be a lot cleaner on OUR side of the border. ....after we pick up all the trash they left behind.

And make them pay the cleaning bill.
