Hello Bob,

 >>> And what do you have to say about those who walk across and
 >>> immediately seek out a border patrol agent to surrender to, asking for

The state of California has places along the border to do just that.

 BA>>> IMO people who walk/sneak/whatever across the border at
 BA>>> unauthorized crossing points should be shot, and the body BA>left to
 >> rot.  Yes, even little kids.  The illegal border BA>crossings would stop
 >> pretty quickly after the word got out

 >> SO, you would shoot people and children for something that is the
 >> legal equivalent of jay walking?  And do so without affording them any of
 >> the rights and procedures guaranteed to them under USA law?

 BA> Yes and yes.

 BA> And in your opinion it's the equivalent of jaywalking, in my opinion
 BA> it's a felony deserving of capital punishment.  As I noted, it wouldn't
 BA> have to be done often

How many people get shot crossing the border into Russia?
How many people get shot crossing the border into China?
How many people get shot crossing the border into North Korea?

Of those countries, only China has a wall.  And that wall
is used as a tourist attraction.  Works like a giant magnet,
getting people with lots of money to spend to come to China
rather than go someplace else.

Maybe that is what Trump wants to do.  Compete with China
by making a Great Wall.  Not the Great Wall of China, but the
Greater Wall of America.

Let's do the math.

The US/Mexico border is 1,954 miles long.
The Great Wall of China is 5,000 miles long.
By extending the Wall of America to Hawaii,
Trump can create the Greater Wall of America
much longer than the Great Wall of China.

There is also the US/Canada wall that comes to mind ...
