Do you lock the doors on your house at all?
I remember being at the beach one time when I got a text from my neighbor. She said, "Your back door is wide open." I asked her to walk through the house with her dog, and just pull the door shut on her way out.
It's all about risk management. The odds are so thin that anything would actually happen (in spite of what you're bombarded with on your social media), that I just don't invest much in guarding against extremely unlikely events.

There is nothing responsible about the way our government operates and the number of employees there are.
Well it seems to be getting better
Particularly as a share of overall population

So you don’t lock your doors at night when you’re asleep?
Because if this is the case, you’re another prime example of the aforementioned adage.

Help me understand why
You think the hoard of federal employees is how we hold corporations accountable?
I can follow that. Still there is tons of waste in my opinion and government is not right sized.
Also the pay structure is not modern and even if shut down goes for months you will hear of "people dying in the street" but very few of these fed employees will leave job

Just because it shrank doesn't mean it has decreased fast enough with efficiencies in the way business is done

At the end of the day, liberals are nothing if not consistent. They think socialism will work despite all the evidence to the contrary. They now think walls won’t work, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

My grandfather used to have a saying: “Locks are for honest people”. Meaning that they’re deterrents to people who might have casual thoughts about entering a place unwanted. If a person is desperate enough to get into something, a lock won’t stop him.
Same thing applies to a wall. If a person wants to get into the US illegally badly enough, thru some effort, he’s gonna find a way around a wall. But a wall is a starting point. It’s going to narrow down the number coming across and that makes all the other measures that are in place more effective.

Nationalist = Fascist?
This tells me you don’t even know what Fascism is.
Go back to reading Cosmo, bitch.

This. The fact that there’s a non-zero amount of people who will manage to get over the wall doesn’t mean the wall isn’t either deterring people from attempting or preventing their success despite their attempts.

If we ever had a President whose goal it was to Make America Great Again, he'd be fighting like a motherfricker to do away with the welfare state, and all other incentives for illegals to come and freeload off of, thus effectively rendering a wall unnecessary.
But we don't have a President like that, and never will, unfortunately.

I was led to believe a wall would be 99% effective.

One of them - sometimes. I've been in this house for most of the past 25 years. Some kids rolled through one time about 15 years ago. They took my piggy bank and a cheap lap top. Apparently, if your stereo doesn't have a remote control, they're not interested. And no, a 1960 Marantz doesn't have a remote control.

It's a lifestyle choice. I choose not to live my life in fear, the reward of being afraid isn't worth it to me.
Hell, I remember living in a house in Mid-City in New Orleans where, not only did the front door not have a lock, the latch didn't even work. We had to drag a little side table behind it to block the door from opening all the way. It was almost always open the width of an arm, until I realized that if we left the kitchen window open, the wind would usually push the front door shut. Of course, that was back in the early 80's when wearing an onion on your belt was the style of the time...

It’s not about living in fear. It’s about taking routine precautions. Kind of like wearing a seatbelt.
But hey, you do you.

I'm going off of the vibe I get from politicians in Washington and their view
I think it really is symbolic. I don't think anyone on the hill really thinks a wall makes that much of a difference
I have almost zero respect for "the vibes from politicians in Washington" - Their only vibe is to get re-elected = by any means necessary.
I don't believe a single person thinks that a wall wouldn't work - regardless of their rhetoric.

But it's a moot point anyway, there will be no wall.

And you’d believe that whether it was true or not. No matter what evidence was shown you.
