54. That was the least obnoxious source I could find for pictures.

Believe me, I tried to find a more neutral source. It may well be that more reputable sources decided not to post current images for security reasons (especially since it's not a full wall). If the crazies have to drive there in order to even plan an attack, there is a potential they will be spotted scoping out the place, or recognized by on-the-ball secret service when they return.

Your second paragraph is precisely the reason Trump's analogy is a failure. There are actually crazies who have made numerous death threats against the Obamas - so building a barrier makes good sense. In contrast, our home-grown crazies are more dangerous than the people Trump is trying to keep out, not to mention that physical barriers work best to protect a specific, narrow, target than they do to divide people.
