LOL. It works for Israel......Bwahgahha. yeah no. Its not even REMOTELY the same.
And the wall WILL work....I expect it will reduce the flow about 5%. They will fly over it, swim around it, climb over it, and dig under it. Or simply visit on a tourist visa and stay.
Hopefully it wont slow the ongoing # who are voluntarily leaving-illegal immigration has had a outflow for quite a while under Obama.
In the end it will be a monument to our idiocy.
Mandatory everify. Prison sentences for employers. And make it a crime to rent to someone who is not a legal resident. Problem solve. 1/100th the effort. Read my posting history, I am anti-illegals, but I think the wall is idiocy.
If I remember correctly, we use 138 million barrels of crude oil A DAY in USA.
There are 42 gallons in a barrel
138,000,000 * 42 = 5,796,000,000 gallons a day
If Federal govt puts $1 a gallon tax on gas, we will generate $15 BILLION in less than 3 days.
If $1 sounds too high then we could do just 10 cents extra tax on gas just for a month, and within 30 days, we will generate $15 BILLION.
As easy as it gets. Who is up for it????
We have paid for gas when it was almost $5 a gallon - what's the biggie if we add just 10 cents in the current gas prices? Think about it, it CAN be done if we have the will.
Yawn. Takes a LONG time to build a tunnel and if you have sensors and walls that go SEVERAL feet below ground they can't tunnel under....Israel has a wall and still deals with tunnels but terrorism and illegal immigration is WAY down.
1 is this money in dollars where. A bank, a safe in other paper? Bonds, real property?
Is it In the USA or Mexico or elsewhere? Has he gone to court? Does asset forfeiture have the money ? Or still in evidence?
I know not all of the congressmen are attorneys, some are Drs etc, but seems they should have knowledge of the laws before they open their mouths.

"If they call at this The Trump Wall, it has to be beautiful. And you put that plank up and you dig your footings. And you put that plank up -- there's no ladder going over that. If they ever go up there, they're in trouble, because here's no way to get down. Maybe a rope."
#1 you misrepresent me again. Im anti-immigration, and have been for years posting here. So you start off with that falsehood.
#2 Then you bring up israel. great wall, kinda sucks how people fire home made weapons over it huh?
#3 will we shoot the guy with a 51 foot ladder trying to go over it?
#4 Unlike israel we have a MASSIVE water border as well.
And the list keeps going. Israels wall and ours wont be remotely similar or effective. More importantly....what do you think the maintenance cost of that wall is? Or is it more free magical fairy dust math?
