Is there a reason that they spend m(b)illions on the fence at the US border but...?

Question

They don't even build walls along rivers to prevent cities from being flooded? What causes more damage, immigrants or floods?

Answer 1

Sure the same reason they did so well in New Orleans. They should have the trailers there soon.

Answer 2

Legal immigrants are fine.  We have processes in place to manage legal immigration.  Ilegal immigrants are a different story.  Millions of illegal immigrants cause more damage than the awful floods we are seeing across the country.

Answer 3

Actually it is the building of those fences or levees that have caused much of the flooding.  Changing the flow of a river as mighty as the Mississippi has its risk.  

Which does more damage?  The answer to that depends on where you live, those who live on the border deal with the fallout of illegal immigration in the form of crime and destruction of their property on a daily basis but a flood the size of the current one will devastate a community for years to come.

Answer 4

The problem is there used to be wetlands along the mississippi river.

just like there still are in mississippi.

When those states, removed those wetlands, they

prevented us from stopping the mississippi from flooding.
