With the current government shutdown going on for so long, is President Trump's wall really worth it?

What's the value of a human life, where they are snuffed out by an illegal.

Yes. And this study doesn’t take into the social damages.

Should we is having Nancy and Chuck really worth it, so far only Trump as made other proposals and offers only to have them thrown back in his face but I have yet to see Nancy and Chuck make any offers. They are the ones digging their heels in and trying to ride this out, doesn't matter how many people have to suffer, Nancy is still getting paid.

Living in a border state I say yes it is worth it. The Dems have said so in the past and just because Trump beat Hillary they are now the party of NO. I have no respect for them.

Because I think the wall would be of limited effectiveness, I think that it is not worth the shutdown. (Also, I thought Trump said that Mexico would pay for it, so wondering why the shutdown.)

My opinion is that the wall is not worth it.
