Wasted Time, Wasted Thought..."The Wall"

An idea so repugnant that it is totally useless, not only in reality, but in spending time even thinking about it.
It won't happen in my opinion and can't happen. Yet to rally some in this country, this is brought up, again and again. I read here at DU, that even republicans living on/near what would be the wall, are against it.
..This idiot Drump, uses this to get away from his and his family's obvious problems. .........but...........

couldn't it be something else?..like climate change? poverty? educational problems? transportation problems?...anything but this stupid, asinine idea for a wall with Mexico..fuck the wall.......

.how about a discussion for world peace?..

illegally (their word) came legally via student or tourist visas and overstayed. A wall doesn't stop that.

I even made my own bumper sticker to place above my existing Pink Floyd sticker and have gotten a lot of "thumbs up" for it.
