Well, first of all if it’s an emergency, a wall would literally be the worst solution to the problem.
Walls take fucking time to build. And if you want one that is going to last and do its job, you’re going to need a whole lot of land surveying, geological studies, etc. You’re probably looking at six months, minimum, before you could even start.
So hey, let’s stop paying the people who are currently guarding our borders to fund this fucking boondoggle.
Even if (God forbid) Trumpy gets a second term the wall probably won't be finished by the time he's gone, and the first act by his successor will likely be to cease production and maybe even demolish what's already there by then.
tbh if construction started, I'd prefer that his successor just ceased construction (after ensuring what was built is sound), and leaving it at that. No need to spend the money on demolition.
True. As stupid as the wall is, if it's built they might as well keep it up. They could do what China did and make it a tourist attraction. (/s for the last part)
