How long exactly is this wall going to take to build?
How many crimes will he commuted by illegals before it is finished as opposed to how many if we started seriously pounding employers with fines right now, today?
And fines would mean it would cost taxpayers little or nothing.
How many billions would Trump's Folly cost?
Hmm...
How many JOBS would "Trump's Folly" create? Jobs in construction, and material manufacturing production. Public works are typically a good economic stimulus.
Then there is the barrier itself. Like ANY "wall" it would serve a useful purpose in limiting ease of access. To deny this is to deny the reality that most of us use walls for this very purpose, to protect our property and persons from the depravations of weather, animals, and OTHER humans. If walls didn't work, why would we bother with them at all?
Now I agree that we should also be enforcing employment law, and fines and imprisonment should be assessed against businesses and persons who fail to follow it. Note that imprisonment requires walls too.
IMO, as the world's population grows and other's eye our wealth and land resources the problem of illegal immigration will only increase.
A "wall" shows the world our intent to maintain our national integrity as nothing else would. It worked for Athens against Sparta, for the Roman's in Britain, for China in Asia as long as the people had the strength and the will to defend it.
IMO it will work HERE the same way.
