Ironic that a disproportionate share of senior citizens support this nonsense. They are building a barrier to keep out the people coming here to work and keep programs like Social Security afloat.

‘Border security’ doesn’t figure into the equation. Drug dealers know how to dig tunnels. They don’t care.
