lol even Howard Stern knows this Wall is a charade.

“The wall’s a problem because it’s a waste of money, even Donald knows that,” Stern said. “You gotta know Donald a bit to understand what’s going on here. The wall’s a simplistic answer to our problems with immigration. It’s something that, you know, morons can get behind because they’re like, ‘Oh, yeah, if you build a wall no one can get over it.’ But it’s not that simple.”

Sorry for referencing so many pages ago, but I have to call in to question the efficacy of Hadrians wall as a 'wall that works ... still working'.

Firstly, as an Englishman living in England, I must regretfully report that unfortunately two of my colleagues in the department are indeed Scottish (real Scottish, not the fake American stuff).

Secondly Hadrians wall was a series of linked observation posts designed as a military defence, sending a message of Roman presence and power, designating the extreme northern border of the Empire, not a migrationary barrier. The common folk were free to peacefully pass the border as they pleased. Trade brought wealth, the Romans liked that.

Just say to the deputy "I am Juan with the wall, holmes!" and he'll ring you through.

Does anyone really think building a wall...sorry, a barrier...will have an affect on the flow of drugs from Mexico?

You're dealing with cartels that have literally infinite money and there's an infinite demand here in America. Supply and demand, capitalism at its finest.

And still no one can explain exactly how Mexico is going to pay for it, even indirectly.

The USMCA, which has yet to be ratified by Congress, doesn’t differ from NAFTA in any way that would result in a substantial revenue increase. The new provisions added deal mostly with automobile manufacturing, intellectual property rights and access to Canadian dairy, which Trump has tweeted about at length. None of these put money into the US treasury. Both NAFTA and the USMCA charge no tariffs on trade with Canada and Mexico, just as was the case with NAFTA.

I've asked this multiple times. How is Mexico paying for this wall?

Not to mention that to complete this project will take years, if it ever reaches completion, Even if Trump wins a second term, i doubt that the wall would be completed before he was out of office. I've worked on multiple multi-million dollar military construction projects, and if it actually got completed without going way over budget and behind schedule I'd be incredibly surprised.

Yes.

How could it not?

Can Mexicans walk through walls?
