Stopping terrorists from breaking into the country over the southern border is one of many reasons for proposed border wall and security. More common sense.
So now it is about stopping terrorists?
From coming over the southern border. Why won't you say that?
You can't, because you and your ilk need strawmen to help alleviate your cognitive dissonance.
Because you gave an insulting reply to Blackjakal where you said the point was not to stop terrorists.
Once pointed out that the Whitehouse had used this as a justification you do a complete 180.
And again you result to insults.
You guys are deserving of insults. You might just have to deal with that.
The wall isn't about stopping terrorists, but stemming the tide of illegal immigration coming over the southern border.
Is my statement true or false?

What strawman have I erected? If I have then point them out, insults just show you to be out of arguments.
As to the topic we still haven't established if you think stopping terrorism is a reason to build the wall or not?

I insulted no one. That's just you circling the wagons.
I point out your strawmen every time. Then you vanish until the next time.
I'll ask this question again, just in case you aren't trying to avoid it, but missed it.

I see little point in debating or discussing with someone who so blatantly lies.
Still against my better judgement here is one last attempt.
A number of reasons have been given by the the Whitehouse as a reason for building the wall. Some valid and some of which are factually questionable.
However giving a reason for doing something doesn't mean it's the correct thing to do. In this and another thread I have asked for evidence that the wall is the best way to spend billions on reducing illegal immigration. As of yet I have not had any evidence provided.

In the UK every major infrastructure project has to go through extensive cost benefit analysis. I don't imagine the US is much different.
We have already had this discussion, this seems like more dishonesty from you.

Unless I have missed it they don't actually cover the effectiveness or otherwise of the proposed wall. They discuss costs of illegal immigration. I am not disputing that such costs exist (we can discuss the accuracy of their specific claims but it's not really what I was asking).
