The video really connected the scenes and the music.

A country is DEFINED by its borders. That border is where Mexico ends and the United States of America begins. If we did not have illegal immigrants, drugs, terrorists, and criminals comming in I would not think we would need a wall. But since we have people disrespecting the USA steps need to be taken. A wall alone will not secure that border but is PART of the solution. More agents, more sensors, cameras, unmanned aircraft etc along with the wall. Its a little thing called "SOVEREIGNTY"

Fair enough, but your comments don't address the video's real message. The video doesn't take issue with a wall itself, but with the sheer absurdity and lack of planning that went into it. How can government propose to build walls that cut through schools, parks, and private property without consulting the community? Anyone who believes in states' rights and municipal rights should be shocked. The video is about unresponsive gov't. It's about Jeffersonian principles and reason prevailing.

So what you are saying is because these people on the border do not like it--then the whole USA has to suffer? This is not much different then when a highway has to be built and people have to give up their homes. To what I have read these people have been offered fair market value for some of the land. If the government is NOT offering money to pay these people I would suggest legal action on their part. But to say that the border must remain open because they do not like it is not OK.

Usually, they don't build the highway up the middle of your school's gymnasium. Usually, if a large establishment will be affected, there is fair and open consultation (which UTB says there wasn't). It's reminiscent of how the Trans-Texas Corridor was handled. But I'll refrain from further comment; I've written for newspapers and they'd never allow us to respond to comments. It's not professional. I'll just say this: I hope we still live in a USA where gentleman can agree to disagree.
