Finish the Wall!

You can't 'finish the wall'. It's not possible without ludicrous cost and immense damage. JUST STUPID! But the MAGAs still think it is really a viable solution.

The only thing the stupid wall accomplished was to fool the gullible MAGAs into believing that Trump was actually accomplishing something. NO, he did not. He wasted billions on an idiotic idea that experts said would be a waste of money.

This is from the right leaning CATO institute.

The Border Wall Didn’t Work

One of former President Donald Trump’s main presidential accomplishments was constructing hundreds of miles of wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. President Joe Biden temporarily suspended work on some unfinished sections in January 2021, but is now plugging some “holes” in Trump’s wall and adding some other portions. He shouldn’t bother. A few miles won’t fix what hundreds of miles already failed to. It’s time to just admit: Trump’s wall did not work.
