What would wall supporters trade to get the wall?

What would opponents of the wall be willing to get in exchange for a wall?

Just curious to see.

I would trade a major national park for the Wall.

Although national parks are nice, this nation's security and keeping illegals out is much more important.

I would trade our nation's vast network of illegal labor, which is a resource that some businesses tap into in order to make bigger profits. We are strong enough as a nation to endure such a loss. We will just have to settle for higher wages, less income inequality and more evenly dispersed prosperity...

If Trump paid me $5.6 billion he can have the wall. That's my trade.

That shouldn't be any problem.

You just have to donate all of that $5.6 billion for the Wall. That is the deal.

I think there are vastly more effective ways to curb illegal immigration than building a border wall. They'll just go over under around, or through it (like they do now in areas where there is significant fencing. So I'd trade tougher laws on employment verification, better ID standards and requirements for use, and more spending on enforcement, for a wall.

I wouldn't trade anything.

I don't negotiate with terrorists (aka Democrats and Republicans).
