I'm actually against the wall; just attempting to show that there's no $ for it, although it didn't come out that way...

Why? Build a 30 foot wall and 35 foot ladder sales will spike.

Arrest and jail those who hire illegal labor and the need for a wall goes away.

And let's hold Donny to his word, he said Mexico would pay, if they don't we should bill Trump.

How many miles and how high.....ABOVE what was already planned do you want?

Does it need to have solar panels as specified?

You already accepted the main BS - that Mexico was going to pay. Just wondering if a lego setup would do the job for you. I'll make one and send you a pic and you can send me your tax money.

Mexico does not have the funds to pay for a wall after their massive earthquake.

The only person with his head on fire over the NFL is Trump.

Hey--so Trump said he'd build a wall?

Didn't he also say he would "repeal Obamacare on Day One"?

Hahaha. Good job Donny!

There is a vast net loss of immigrants to Mexico these days....farmers here are in deep doo-doo.

Obviously it would have been easy - for decades - to fix the problem. GW and McCain wanted to - along with many others in Congress. But crazy folks like in this thread don't care about solving problems - they want to pose at a sample with their middle fingers sticking out.

Solving problems is something they outrighted admitted they didn't want to do for 8 years. Of course, they didn't want to do it before or after that time either.

It ain't gonna happen as long as the radical (read that "ignorant") base are the primary voters.

Meanwhile, we fall further and further behind - even our lifespans are decreasing as our debt and waistlines increase.

One big nightmare brought to you by a political party who outrights admits they want to destroy the government. They are doing a heck of a job so far. It very well (50/50) could be the end of our run as an advancing (progressive) nation.

The future is probably just a balkan type of chaos with everyone taking what they can. No real nation...although we can fake it and maybe they will start a war to bring us all "together".

  • Each prototype will be up to 30 feet high and 30 feet long, with four made of concrete and for in 'other materials'
  • All prortypes will be complete within 30 days, CBP said Tuesday
  • California's Democratic attorney general is suing to stop construction saying it breaches environmental laws
  • Work is now under way with a 'free speech zone' to accommodate protesters being suggested by law enforcementTrump border wall prototype building begins in San Diego | Daily Mail Online
