You know, the wall that was going to prevent the dirty Mexicans from coming in, and that Mexico was going to pay for. That one that would actually cost about $100 billion to build, but almost none of it was actually built because it’s such a ridiculous project? Oh, and the same one that didn’t actually stop people, because they were just bringing a ladder and some ropes and climbing it?
(Point being, the US / Mexico and US / Canada borders are so incredibly long that it’s basically impossible to secure the entire thing and stop determined people from entering the US illegally, so the only real options are to try to prevent them from trying, which comes down to the above two options.)
We didn’t try option 4: build the wall.

I remember that, and its failure, and it’s why I didn’t even bring it up as an option; but the reminder on history is appreciated.
