One of the most ridiculous things that crawled out of Donald Trump’s mouth was the building of a Wall between the United States and Mexico.
This is as ridiculous as unplugging a lap top with a seven hour battery to prevent someone from using it. Simply put, the mere idea is evidence of a very limited brain; the attempt to put such an idea into practice, would be a joke, if it wasn’t said seriously.
The expense of such a wall is beyond belief.
It would cost Fifteen billion dollars; that is $15,000,000,000.00.
Considering the border between the United States and Mexico is about Two Thousand Miles (2,000) long and runs from California to Texas, more than half of it along the Colorado River and Rio Grande the thought is as close to flying to the moon on a broomstick one hopes to come.
It is the kind of ridiculous campaign promise that is made to ignorant and silly people. Like the time the kid who was running for President of Six-One promised free ice cream if elected, or the kid who promised, No homework over the weekend in High School.
It is something one tosses at the perennial dumb; the kind of people who believe every kind of conspiracy theory and are just a thought away from Flat Earth.
Even if a wall was built, what about tunnels? What about traveling along the Pacific ocean? What about small planes?
Just as having a sea as a border doesn’t work to prevent migrants entering Europe, or a wall along the Gaza doesn’t prevent tunnels from being dug, building a wall doesn’t help.
The problem is that America needs a lot of menial labourers. People who can be paid a fraction of what Americans get, and with no health care, no social security, no nothing. Just a small packet of cash.
If there were no jobs in America, there would be no migrants.
If you look at a map of the Middle East, you’ll notice no one tries to get into Iraq, Iran, or Turkmenistan. It would sure be easier to get across the Syrian border, into Muslim Iraq and go to Muslim Turkmenistan. But there is no freeness in Turkmenistan. They don’t need any borders, no one is going there.
Muslims want to go to Christian countries. They want to go England, which is Not going to take them, so go to Germany and France. That is because of the freeness.
If Americans did not hire Mexicans and other South Americans, they wouldn’t go to America. Simple. Go and do what? Sleep on a street? Starve? No. Go and get to this place or that place and get a job. Sure, it might be digging ditches, picking fruit, cleaning toilets. But it is a job.
If no American hired anyone who did not have a social security card or a Work Visa, then there would be no sense in going to America. But that is not what is happening.
Today, Kellyanne Conway, one of Trump’s advisors said that funding for the wall would be left out of the budget.
The Democrats, a bit more sensible then the Trumpies stated they would block the budget bill if there was any money earmarked for the wall.
Trump, in his usual mindless Tweets insisted he still supported the wall and that it would be built, (probably in his mind).
Probably, considering the short attention span of many of Trump’s followers, they’ll forget about the Wall by next year.

Haven't heard much jibber jabber about the wall lately. But then … I don't keep up with the news reports or with the Trump tweets. What happened? Is something going on about that wall? I thought the guy in North Korea was on center stage. Are people yelling about that wall again? (???) (Head scratch.) (O.o)
Everyone I know who lives in the US is just like you... they virtually have locked off the News. It was announced today that the Democrats would not pass any budget which had the Wall expense on it, so it was dropped for this budget.
Yeah, that Security Border Wall. I've heard this anti-Trump narrative rant eversince President Donald Trump announced his presidential run in June 2015. And it's still going on.
So far, in his first 100 days, anti-Trump 'compliant citizenry' are still folding their arms, sulking, yelling their hatred of progess and hatred of Republicans and hatred of anything good, intelligent and conservative ideals for America's path to going forward in making USA great again.
It's mind-boggling to us why anarchy is the liberal-left Democrats' daily mode of fighting and resistance?
Anyway, he hasn't wavered from this vision on building a security border wall. Neither have awesome intelligent legal and lawful Americans who have won a President.
We'll see.
What you missed, (assuming you read the article) is that;
" If Americans did not hire Mexicans and other South Americans, they wouldn’t go to America. Simple. Go and do what? Sleep on a street? Starve? No. Go and get to this place or that place and get a job. Sure, it might be digging ditches, picking fruit, cleaning toilets. But it is a job.
If no American hired anyone who did not have a social security card or a Work Visa, then there would be no sense in going to America. But that is not what is happening. "
The point is that if there were no jobs there would not be such 'immigration'.
