I didn't have a question fro you. I commented on your claims of ..a wall would increase the frequency of attempts to violate the border, or..repeatedly paying a human smuggler 5k over and over is not problem for these poor, oppressed people yearning to be free.

Can you answer with how you find that to be believable?

Well, first, I did not say any of that.

I said that a Wall MIGHT increase the number of second attempts, because more first attempts would likely be foiled.

And I said nothing remotely similar to that nonsense about coyotes. I SAID that the distance south of the border at which we release detainees likely has little effect upon whether they make a second attempt to cross the border, because the marginal cost of a bus ticket is not great. I also questioned whether the cost of flying detainees to the Mexican interior is justified by the slight delay in a second attempt to cross the border.

I honestly cannot decide whether you cannot read or whether you are being intentionally disingenuous.
