I agree that all walls are passable but a wall would be more costly and difficult to pass than say no wall. Russia had walls to keep people in, and it was pretty darn effective. A 3 layer wall will an electric fence in the middle and razor wire isnt going to be something you can easily and quickly cross with a ladder. You dont necessarily need to make it impenetrable you just need to give border patrol time to respond. Tunnels will be a bigger thing, but they take time to make and are expensive. So flow of migrants will decrease significantly. Hell look at Europe, some simple razor fencing in high crossing areas was able to stem large tides of refugees from crossing over. A few will trickle though but volume decreased substantial.

    "I like Trump because no record whatsoever is better than a record I disagree with?"

I didn't say that I like giant douche for these things. Just that a hooker that may or may not have AIDS is slightly preferable to one that you know has AIDS

    "I like Trump because the offensive shit he wants won't ever come to pass while Clinton might actually accomplish something in office?"

Yeah that's my biggest fear. I dont think shes on the side of ordinary Americans and I think the things she does accomplish will make things worse not better. For example Obamacare in my opinion is even a worse system than the F-ed up system we had before and I expect shit sandwich to try and pass more similarly bad legislation when she comes into office full of corporate carve-outs for her donors.
