As for the wall, I think Trump should reach out to Albert Garcia for some advice. Garcia is a retired Border Patrol welder who spent decades repairing holes in the wall near Calexico. In my latest visit with him last year, Garcia — a conservative Democrat who voted for Trump — laid out a sensible immigration reform plan but said he'd rather not see his tax dollars spent on a wall.
"I don't think anything they make is going to hold them back," he said. "They're going to come across and it doesn't make any difference. If you can see blue sky, they'll go up and over the top, or they'll crawl underneath."
And as we know, most of the people who now immigrate to the U.S. illegally don't sneak in, they overstay visas. So spending billions of dollars to replace one wall with another might draw cheers in some quarters, but it doesn't make much sense, especially if Mexico isn't paying for it as promised.
