What would be a reasonable compromise on this wall issue ?

i want productive suggestions without calling anyone a treasontrump or libtard. and i dont want any arguments why it should be build or why not...

make a suggestion how to solve this dilemma in a way that makes the other side look good. you dont want to "win" you want a compromise and that will hurt you.

Disclaimer: the joke with build only half a wall i claim for myself.

A reasonable compromise would be healthy funding for more border security. That means more agents, checkpoints, and fencing, etc.; however, Trump already rejected this reasonable compromise.

The experts have said that where on the border a wall would be helpful, one already exists. More wall is more government waste, which is what Republicans are constantly hypocritically complaining about. A wall will do nothing to stem the tide of illegal immigration, concerns for which seems to be the root of these calls for a wall.

Just because Trump rejected this reasonable compromise doesn’t make it unreasonable. If you assume that just because nothing is getting done then it must be because both sides are being unreasonable, then that empowers and emboldens one side, in this case the Republicans, to be unreasonable just so they can get their way and not have to compromise. Trump and Republicans are not negotiating here in good faith.
