A barrier is needed to direct people into areas that can be controlled.
Politicians know Americans will fall into step behind the party they support. A party full of conniving hustlers that feather their own nests, insult our intelligence, and get re-elected ninety percent of the time. Liars are paid to convince us we are more correct than the other guys. That satisfies most. Easier than understanding that politicians are driving the country into bankruptcy is saying the politicians they support have this under control.
People running the media decide Jussie Smollette's problems are big news and people say ok.
In Maher's case, the response of the audience is spontaneous and not contrived. For generations walls have been effective? Tell that to China with their "great wall". And they've been getting around and over and under 'em between the US and Mexico for generations. And where do the cartels move their dope? At border checkpoints and at airports and under ground in tunnels and not with migrants moving around borders and around the walls.
Your great deal maker had his chances and he blew it. Where was he with his so-called crisis when he had his own party controlling congress for two years? He had a MUCH better bipartisan deal before that he agreed to and then reneged upon and then the last one which wasn't as good closed the govt down and now the one he does sign gives him even less and he agrees to that? Oh, it's time to roil out the crisis along with his bogus lie that we're "finishing the wall". Other than some previously planned repairs and modifications on the existing barriers, there hasn't been an inch of new wall anywhere despite what Trump claims. There's your liar in chief at work..'
