I'm not for open borders, just a little humanity. No wall is needed. A wall is a really stupid idea adressing a problem we don't have:

"5 Billion poor people on the planet" Should we build a wall along all 3 coast lines, or are you expecting most of them to drown on their way here? That being said, there are something like 180M kids under the age of 18 in this hemisphere, and if we let all of them walk north, Canada will still only have a population of 220 M :>).

And that is why the wall is so important and so needed. To keep that person...those people outside the jurisdiction of the US constitution. You're conflating the goal with means to accomplish that goal. Keeping "those people outside the jurisdiction of the US constitution" is the goal. The wall is one potential means, not the only one, not necessarily an effective or adequate one let alone the best one. 5 Billion poor people on the planet. How many should we let in? Treating the wall as the goal results in non-constructive non sequiturs like that one.
