what do conservatives want regarding the southern border, I'm genuinely asking? Do they want a wall from California all the way to Texas? Do they want border patrol to have gun towers and just shoot any migrants approaching? conservative media pundits are constantly crying about there being "an invasion" but don't say what they think should happen and what would make them happy. Can anyone tell me?

No they want robots with guns and thermal vision. They want drones with precision guidance missiles. They want barbed wire, trenches and volunteer hunting expeditions for anyone who wishes to man outposts on a wall with no consequences for their actions. This is also the Pro-Life party if you can believe it.

My working theory is that the conservatives know that climate change is absolutely real, and that the world will see massive increases in migration as populations flee affected areas. They want America to have a solid wall around the Southern border because they'd rather do that than address climate change directly (which would make them less wealthy/influential).

They saw World War Z and want what Israel built.
