Well then pay for it out of your own pocket. Don't forget to set aside a few million for the purchase of all the private property that backs up to the border...
...And stock up on some bulletproof armor to protect yourself against the property owners who won't sell, so when you invoke eminent domain and attempt to steal their land by force you'll have some modicum of protection against their gunfire.
Most fascinating an anarcho capitalist attempting to clamp down on people freely traveling.
If property owners don't want to sell a small portion of their land for the wall then let them deal with the illegal aliens trespassing on their properties all by themselves. It would serve them right and they'd be crying for a wall in no time.
As for those of us who want the wall sure we'll pay for it while you anti-wall people pay for the over $100 billion a year that illegal aliens cost us. Deal?
A wall would not stop this form of "immigration". They are not crossing unprotected frontier. They present themselves openly at border checkpoints and ask for asylum. Before we build a wall, or concurrently, we need to come up with a way to admit the thousands of low skilled laborers we need each year to fuel our economy. There is both a supply and a demand at work in these migrations.
I have a better idea. How about we put some welfare collectors to work at some of these jobs - have them filled by Americans.
i agree there should be stiffer penalties for hiring illegals but that is a separate issue that doesn't really belong in this thread.
It's not a separate issue. Why do you think people illegally enter the US, to spend time on our glorious beaches? They come here to work and we have plenty of employers ready and willing to hire them. Employers are the magnet and have been luring people here since the 1970's. Corporations use labor contractors to avoid liability in hiring illegals, and the labor contractors simply go out of business when caught then open back up under a different name. It's amazing that so few people understand how that works or realizes that it has been happening since the 70's.
Even when the Government can prosecute the employer rather than the labor contractor the 'punishment' is a fine that they can write off on their taxes. Put them in jail or seize their business if they keep it up and I can guarantee you very few people will illegally cross our southern border.

If we are talking about pie in the sky solutions, let's take our welfare bums and drug-disabled and march them to Honduras in exchange for these people who are young, healthy, don't use and want to work.
