The only wall that's going to be built is the one you have dreamed up in your minds. The government can't even get funding to rebuild one NY-NJ river tunnel, what makes you think they'll start building almost a 2000 mile long wall when they can't build a ~2 mileong tube?
Go after the EMPLOYERS, treat the underlying disease, not the symptoms! Hire more ICE to remove those that stay, and hire more CBP to prevent them from crossing over. Those are very practical, and effective. Can be done quickly.
Well, because the government can print money for one thing.
The wall will be built.
The only people who will make money on the wall is the company that gets the contract for the feasibility or engineering study. That will be millions and a few years to tell us it can't be done.
Oh, it can be done! But the estimates will come in at two or three times the current speculation (guesstimates). Then when you add in the eventual cost overruns that are common on any engineering project (why can engineers and accountants estimate correctly?) and the cheating, payoffs and kickbacks, it will be a $100,000,000,000 ($100 Billion) project.
Cons love to criticize the government for being fiscally irresponsible; yet when they talk about this project, the always quote impossibly low costs. I guess the government is more efficient when it is something cons are promoting.

shouldn't this thread be located in the Mexico forum?

Lol! So now you want the government to just print the money? So we can just create money for a useless wall to be built, but we can't do it for anything else.
And no, it won't be built anymore than college will be free

I didn't say I 'wanted' money to be printed.
I answered the question as to why the wall was going to be built, when we can't get other things accomplished. And there is your answer.
I read a news story that the wall here in San Diego was going to be extended. Every few months or so the authorities find another elaborate tunnel that goes from Mexico into the county to funnel drugs and illegals into the area. Likewise small boats from the Tijuana area smuggle people and drugs north up the coast in the middle of the night. No wall no matter how high is going the thwart everyone trying to enter illegally. Invest in increased manpower and high tech surveillance at a fraction of the cost of Trump's wall.
"The wall" was nothing more or less than a grandstanding feel-good stunt from day 1. Won't make us measurably safer and in many ways will make things worse.
Just ask Santa Cruz County Sheriff Tony Estrada, who is the law in Nogales, Arizona.
The Sheriff can challenge the wall all he wants. Unfortunately for him, immigration policy is run in Washington DC under the TRUMP administration. The wall will be built.
