Thinking that wall actually prevents people from not going over it.

There's an industry to get over it. Are you kidding?

eh... no. its not like that at all. as i said, they cant just pull into any old place and then scatter like roaches. besides the fact that most vessels are incapable of that in any case. without going into too much detail, illegal migrants are not that difficult to spot. you cant pack 50 people on a boat meant for 8 for weeks without things going wrong. oftentimes they will call the coast guard themselves for help. and that is besides all the other laws that govern maritime travel that make it difficult for them. it is very unlikely that they are going to make it all the way to less-guarded areas without someone spotting them, or even just having to communicate with other vessels. then people will wonder why a mexican fishing vessel is in waters it is illegal to fish in, etc.
Your argument falls apart where you're trying to pretend it's easy to spot an illegal immigrant ON THE OCEAN and know it's an illegal immigrant by sight. Or assuming that all smugglers (because let's face it - there are smugglers, and they DO have refined methods) are novices that the US will catch because they look sooooo mexican.
It's bullshit.
What are we gonna do now? Taking off his turban, they said, is this man a Jew?
'Cause they're working for the clampdown
They put up a poster saying we earn more than you!
When we're working for the clampdown

Being opposed to retarded levels of spending and control is not complete opposition to anything.

You work for the coast guard? Wow didn't know we had a coast guard in here.

In other news, Trump congratulated Scots for leaving union. Could be UK...
Seat belts in vehicles does not stop death's. They help to reduce them. Like the supporters for stronger gun control argue, they will not totally prevent gun violence, but help to reduce it. Cops patrolling a section of a highway will help reduce the number of speeders. Same logic when it comes to taking steps to make your country's borders more secure.
Hey. Trade secret.
I took the sarcastic response people have to "Even with laws, people will still commit shootings" and molded it to fit immigration.
If we should control guns better, even if some people will still ignore those controls, then we need to control the enter the country better, even if some people ignore those controls.
I fully admit we need to reform the process of immigration. But I have zero love and sympathy for line jumpers and the human smugglers they provide business.

That's flawed logic on several levels. First, that argument has not and does not work for gun legistlation, as gun regulation votes should show you. Second, for a seatbelt to equal the wall, you wouldn't be regulated to wear a seatbelt, but drive a tank. I'm not sure who'd be paying for the armoring your vehicle, to make the analogy perfect.

I'm more in favor of realistic solutions, like revising our citizenship path (it should not take *decades*) and reevaluation of our visa programs, considering how easy it is to get lost once you've spent the time of your visa. I'd also rather go at the source, the people employing illegal immigrants, than a feel-good wall that wastes a ton of money.
It's a question of appropriate use of time and money.
