    Sorry to distract from discussion about the Glorious Wall but if illegals are such a sticky-widget and 40+% are arriving by plane how is the Glorious Wall going to affect them?

    right, but if you run really fast past wall as soon as the collar is out of range of the fence = no more shock.

    The wall will have a moat. In this moat will be sharks with lasers. The sharks will shoot down any plane carrying illegals with their laser beams.

    Well, there are collars that shock when the collar is too far away from the transmitter.

    A wall without a moat is just a distraction. A wall with a moat is truly formidable. Hopefully there will be port holes for pouring hot oil as well.

    I think the wall should have catapults and trebuchets. We need a way to deport those pesky illegals you know.

    Make 2nd amendment right great again?

    Nah, steal money from individuals to build a wall that government will control. Make government great again.

    you'd be surprised

    when you buy a parts for your car there's a decent chance they're coming from mexico
    when you buy gas at the pump... good chunk of it... blended in from mexico
    when you visit the doctor... his medical equipment... decent chance its mexico
    rubber for your tires? mexico
    fruits and nuts? a lot of it is coming from mexico
    tequila; nearly 100% comes from mexico

    and all of it is 20% more expensive with tariffs

    bingo

    most "illegalized" residents arrive legally...

    then stay

    In 20 years we'll see Trump Construction, Inc. made a killing on wall contracts.

    One thing though...

    I must say I'm pretty amused by the media's new found mantra of pointing out the perils of protectionism.
    "And now that the legislators and do-gooders have so futilely inflicted so many systems upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun: May they reject all systems, and try liberty; for liberty is an acknowledgment of faith in God and His works." - Bastiat

    Yes, I agree. There is another problem I just thought of. If people charge thru the fence and tolerate the shock, they will be afraid of getting shocked when they try to return.

    So Trump and Nieto agreed today not to speak publicly anymore about who will pay for any wall.

    You know what that means. It's gonna be us.

    Just like the mayors you support? You know, the liberal mayors in Seattle and New York hitting back on "sanctuary cities." Your Boston buddy mayor said he would hide people in city hall. Did that make you happy?

    Yes, with extreme vetting, this won't be a problem.

    Some may think that this is how Mexico will pay for the wall, but they won't. US consumers will pick up the tab with taxation through inflation. Mexico will not eat the tax, the US consumer will. Typical liberal thinking.

    Then there are those who will argue, if it costs more to get from Mexico, more will be made in the U.S., and thus the price will be cut by increased employment in the U.S..
