~ it's stupid to believe any kind of wall will solve the problem.
It is stupid to believe the wall will
solve the problem, and it's just as stupid to believe it won't help.
In the real world, there is neither the straw man argument or any need for the rebuttal to it.
You know damn well the solutions has dozens of parts and policies and one essential part is that fucking wall!
However believing that letting millions of impoverished people in to the country will solve poverty is a perfectly acceptable conclusion.
Some time ago, walking through some wild country, I came across the remains of a house and outbuildings perhaps two hundred years old. This was rather interesting, there were a total of perhaps ten buildings. Many had functions that were discernible, such as the shed where animals were slaughtered for meat.
The main house was small by our standards, of course. Some plants still grew where the vegetable gardens had been, onions seem to never die. The gardens were next to the house, and there was a rock wall surrounding them.
Now exactly how would they have done without that wall? There were wild pigs, and deer, rabbits, everything out there. And they're all hungry. Those in the home had dogs, too, who had a job to do both day and night. They had guns, and no doubt ate some of the varmints that crept in.
But without that wall, the garden would have never survived.
