Mexico should send Trump a box of sand with a post-it that reads "pound this!"

 

[IronWing]

I'm sure at least one Mexican company is hoping Trump builds the wall...

FWIW, Cemex isn't just in Mexico...they're one of the biggest construction materials suppliers in the USA too...

Trump will always be Trump. Cemex will get the contract build the wall and Trump will stiff them. Mexico pays for the wall. Done.

given that the US gifted high-tech detection equipment to the egyptians to stop the tunnels from the gaza strip, it should be possible.
The fact that egyptians are still pumping seawater in the tunnels doesn't make me feel 100% confident that this tech works and is not just a defense boondoggle though. Unless they do this only to destroy them.

Still, sometimes they do find catapults and tunnels to cross parts of the ALREADY existent barrier with drugs.
Working with Mexico is the only way to 100% secure the border.

Trump should explain to mexico that closing the border for good will also mean central americans stop coming into mexico, and then provide funds and help to police the other side as well. The "you will pay for it" rhetoric doesn't help though.

Working with Mexico guarantees that the border will never be secured, because Mexico does not see securing the border as in Mexico's best interests. Mexico gains an outlet for its unemployed, millions in annual remitted payments back home, and literally tons of cash from drug cartels and coyotes.

America's top three trading partners: Canada, China and Mexico.

He has already started the fight with Mexico, vowes to fight China and I guess Canada is next?

that's right, buttercup. no more beef for your poutine gravy!

 

[Victorian Gray]

Wouldn't that be the obvious way to get past the wall?

Or catapult?

The US has about 12,000 miles of coastline.

Why go under when you can go around.

Holy fuck that is an awesome party barge.

Most likely from Cuba. Of course Cubans are no longer granted asylum as per ex-Presidente Obama.

Yeah no. It did more for Chinese tourism than anything else. Perhaps we can build some attractions on The Wall to make foreign tourists help pay for it.

Sure we can place a live fire shooting range on the top of it at the busiest crossings.

We produce enough beef here. Just cheaper to buy yours and export ours. Go figure.

Why should those immigrants get special treatment over other immigrants fleeing oppressive regimes?

I don't care about any of that kind of stuff.

I want to bring that thing out to Havasu and float around getting wasted with my homies.

 

[imported_tajmahal]

They shouldn't. I'd like to see a serious reduction in all immigration, especially illegal/criminal immigration.

Oh, sell the naming right to Kim Jong Un. He'll gladly pay for the wall.

It was a deal Lyndon Johnson signed me think.

inheritance of the cold war.

North koreans get asylum in south korea as well.

It's a trick to get information and create an opposition diaspora to push change at home, and create pressure on the government because people flee and people with secrets might too.

Since the cold war ended this is not necessary anymore because communism can't spread anymore, hence Obama's actions to reduce sanctions and remove this special treatment.

We can sell T Shirts and MAGA caps at The Wall.

You mean that made in China stuff?

Hilarious watching the rubes buy that gear while foaming at the mouth about foreigners and trade.

Unfortunately, Obama sank their truck-boat-truck and shipped them back to Cuba. Not only were they likely jailed and/or tortured for being bad Communists, but that's exactly the kind of innovative risk-taking people we need.

It's probably not sound immigration policy, but my heart agrees with that. If you can build a kick ass truck-boat-truck and sail it to America you should be allowed in. If you can hop trains, hitchhike, and walk from Guatemala and find yourself a job skinning chickens in a Texas slaughterhouse you should be allowed in. Show that you have the motivation to contribute something, anything, productive and we'll swap you out with some stagnant trailer dwelling meat lump and give you a hall pass valid for as long as you stay out of handcuffs.

CNN is running some great footage on tunnels that have been discovered, they can build them far and fast and a wall won't do shit.

here's a Faux link on a couple for the Trumpets...

Is Donald Trump's border wall possible?

http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/23/politics/border-series-texas/

Even old woman know that if the wall is 20 feet high, Mexicans can use 21-foot ladder.
