Fact Check: Pete Buttigieg Dismisses Border Walls as Outdated ‘17th Century’ Tech

CLAIM: Former Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, claims that a border wall at the United States-Mexico border to protect Americans is a “17th Century” solution that only President Trump wants to use.

VERDICT: False. Border walls have regularly been built, constructed, and deployed to protect the borders and citizens of nations around the globe — including on the U.S. southern border to end illegal immigration.

So, should we being using lasers and drones armed with Hellfire missiles instead? State of the art, right?

If it works and is appropriate to the task, who cares when it was invented?

I'm OK with higher tech in addition to good solid border walls, but walls first and then..............
