The advantage being that illegals can be freely exploited but won't complain to anyone out of fear of getting arrested and deported.

It doesn't matter to Trump if the wall actually works or not (it won't) its just red meat for his dumb followers.

I am living amongst those followers in nepa----the local talk radio station has exploded into anti democratic nonesense,rush adoration , fox media worship.THIS leaves those of us with a brain thanking the fact other media outlets are out there.YOu un are on target with your take on things

MEXICO CITY (The Borowitz Report)—Hoping to resolve the seemingly intractable conflict over immigration, Mexico surprised the world on Thursday by agreeing to pay for Donald J. Trump’s psychiatric care.
Speaking to reporters, the Mexican President, Enrique Peña Nieto, said that he had authorized funding for the psychiatry and proclaimed, “Work on Donald Trump could begin tomorrow.”
Peña Nieto displayed several photographs showing prototypes of therapists, including a bearded Freudian analyst who he said came highly recommended.
While some Mexican taxpayers argued that a full course of psychiatric treatment could prove more costly than a border wall, Peña Nieto warned against skimping on such a necessary expense.
“When the safety and security of the world is at stake, eight hundred dollars an hour is a bargain,” he said, but added that Mexico would try to find a therapist who takes insurance.

It's a great idea.

I'll chip in for building materials.

We can order reserve units to spend their ATDs at the border building the wall.

They should still have time to hit TJ before it's time to fly home.

Everything has to be done in order. No jumping around. They could do it. It wouldn't be that difficult for them to manage the project. Trump needs to get creative with the funding. He could declare a national emergency and pull funds from other agencies.

Read my latest posts in my Qanon thread. I can't remember which of the two videos mentioned it but Q posted info about the Army Corps of Engineers starting last March.

I recommend SpaceShot76 and Praying Medic's channels

They do all of that plus defeated Germany and Japan to boot together. Building a freaking wall is like a walk in the park.
The issue is who’s going to PAY for it.

Trump said Mexico would pay for it. As a taxpayer, I don’t want to pay for it.

The Corps of Engineers has to have the money to build the wall in its budget.

No money-no wall.

Congress approves the Corps' budget. The Corps can't just do a project this large and expensive willy-nilly on its own. It has to be financed first.
