You're standing right in front of the best example in the whole world that proves that walls don't work.

Yeah, but only thousands of miles of wall through the desert, costing tens of billions of dollars, can stop visa overstays, or the huge proportion of immigrants coming through ordinary checkpoints - between the two, the vast majority of illegal immigration. How? Through its pure symbolic power, of course! Mexicans will know how macho we are and how detested they are when they see the wall - genius!

In fact, it's already been so effective that we've had a net loss of Mexican immigrants every year since 2007.. just from so many people thinking about walls! See how that works? We've lost close to 2,000,000 illegal immigrants since the recession, just from people thinking about walls. Don't let anyone tell you prayers don't work! Think of the wall and pray to White Jesus, and the Brown Menace will disappear!
