The absurdity of the wall is demonstrated by Braulio Guerra, a Mexican congressman.

Have you ever built a garden and watched what the rabbits and gophers do to your carrots? We once grew a batch of heirloom tomatoes. They looked beautiful. Until they were almost ripe and rats took them all.

Have you then tried to enclose your garden with chicken wire? Even burying the underground barrier two feet down and three feet up somehow didn’t keep the critters out.

I am not comparing people to rats and gophers. People are way smarter. Throughout history, walls have not worked. People climb over them, find holes in them, cut through them and burrow tunnels underneath them. People fly over them.

Forty percent of our illegal immigrants came here by airplane.

The wall is an absurdity. It is a political spectacle designed by a show-man con-man to foment the fury of the public. The wall is propaganda. Now the public is apparently willing to spend $15 billion of tax money to build an absurdity of unmatched proportion to prove no point at all.

This is happening while funding for the arts and healthcare is cut, Social Security is attacked, and many other valuable government services are raided.

We are about to spend $15 billion on an absurd spectacle of propaganda. Read my lips: this wall will never be finished. We will point to the relics decades from now in disbelief. It will be a visible reminder of an absurd boondoggle of an even more absurd administration.

Eso es lo que tengo que decir del absurdo del muro.
