Trump is trying to solve the illegal immigration issue.
By building a wall costing zillions and bsing about how he’s going to get Mexico to pay for it?
Apparently that is part of his chosen approach.
Do you agree with me that the idea is totally insane?
- It would cost waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy too much.
- It would take years to get all the property needed(no doubt they would need to acquire a whole lot of what is currently private property.
- It would take years and years before the thing is finally finished and during that time we would still have an immigration problem.
- It would take a huge amount money to pay for all the man power to guard the way and make sure people didn’t try to climb over it.
- What is to stop people from tunneling under it?
- There is no way in hell Mexico is going to pay for it.
- This is America, not Berlin.
Am I wrong in any of this?
Agree very costly and lots of practical issues with it, as you list. If built, despite those issues, I can imagine it would have a major impact on illegal immigration but I don’t know. It’s not a plan I think is wise given the cost, practical issues, and uncertainty of success.
