1. Lol According to that chart we don't need the stupid wall.

Granted, the wall is unnecessary, impractical, and pointless regardless of whether that chart is true. But still, how can he claim that border crossings are down 90% and still demand that American taxpayers and military pay for a wall?

The wall has only ever been a vanity project for Trump. He just wants something with his name on it to be visible from the moon.

5. If Trump's wall doesn't stop illegal immigrants, you know what he'll do?

Build a second wall!

So if Mexicans figure out technology for climbing over his wall, a second wall makes it way, way harder, maybe even twice as hard. If it takes 10 minutes to climb over the first wall, then 2 walls may slow them down by TWENTY MINUTES! Do you think people who walked weeks across a desert just to reach the border will want to wait another 20 minutes to get across? No! They're gonna turn right around and walk for weeks across the desert to get back to the place they risked their lives to flee from.

7. Where's that chart from? CBP shows typical seasonal drop over summer but still above average

8. And they'll be just as careless as they were with immigrants...I believe this is a 2-fold attempt:

Get dumb yahoos to vote for Trump in California.
Get votes OFF the street for Trump.
I highly doubt ONLY the homeless will be put into these camps. "Whoops. You're not homeless? Well, stay here for a few months until we get this figured out."
