I doubt it.
Trump is gonna follow through with the great, great, beautiful wall I just read. Its vital, necessary and Mexico will in fact pay for it!!! z yeah!!!
I doubt it.
I thought this was about Wall Street hitting 20 large.
tee, hee.
I doubt you are right
I bet you doubted PRESIDENT TRUMP WOULD BE PRESIDENT!
i'm all for being tougher on immigration, cracking down on illegal immigration, etc, but is he really stupid enough to waste money on this wall?
mexico money not yours
we could just use bullets and not have a wall! you cross the line you get shot.
you go thru the gate with the passport you live no matter the skin color
I very much doubted Trump would be president. I was wrong -- just like a lot of other people.
I wouldn't be stupid if it would work. Planes fly at 36K feet.
The US-Mexico border is about 1,900 miles (3100 km) long and traverses all sorts of terrain from empty, dusty desert to the lush and rugged surroundings of the Rio Grande.
Some 650 miles of the border is covered already by a confused and non-continuous series of fences, concrete slabs and other structures.
Mr Trump says his wall will cover 1,000 miles and natural obstacles will take care of the rest.
"It's not a fence, it's a wall. You just misreported it," he said.LIE
That rules out relatively cheap options like tall iron fence posts or wire mesh.
Concrete is the obvious choice. Ali F. Rhuzkan, a New York-based structural engineer, estimated in an article for National Memo that a 1,900-mile wall - seemingly Mr Trump's original plan - would require about
339 million cubic feet (12.5 million cubic yards) of concrete - three times more than the Hoover Dam.
Mr Rhuzkan's estimate was based on a wall that ran five feet beneath the ground and 20 feet above.
Mr Trump's claims for the wall range between 30ft and, more recently, 55ft.
Even at 1,000 miles - vast amounts of concrete would be required.
That concrete, Mr Rhuzkan wrote, would need to be manufactured in slabs nearby - likely in dedicated plants - and transported to building sites, with all the enormous production and staffing costs involved.
Mr Trump claims the total cost of the wall will be $10 (£7.5) billion to $12 billion. But estimates from fact checkers and engineers seem to be universally higher.
The 650 miles of fencing already put up has cost the government more than $7 billion, and none of it could be described, even charitably, as impenetrable, physical, tall, powerful, or beautiful.

iow, Don the Con is conning you wall-dreaming xenophobes, same as if illegal immigration was HUGE problem for America (instead of a solution), deflecting from the REAL causes of working-class economic distress

he has done more then anyone other people have promised those were the suckers!
TBH I'm all for immigration reform but I don't understand how anyone believes the wall will stop illegal immigration in any way. It might slow them down but people who truly want to cross will find a way to do so. It's going to be a colossal waste of money.
And how come I never hear anything about the people that hire illegal immigrants? Americans love to blame everyone but themselves.
Who do you know that's pro-wall but also has hired illegal immigrants
Moronic trump supporters who don't realize how much they need immigrants. I've worked around farmers in the panhandle my entire life and you'd be surprised at how many of these guys hire illegal immigrants yet are full blown trump supporters.
You don't have to know anyone, just recognize that the Repugs refused to "fix" immigration 2001-2008.
Then the Repug House refused even to vote on the Senate's bi-partisan immigration reform bill.
Repugs know 1000s of their supporters profit from exploiting illegal immigrants.
#Winning!
by 2020, Trash's conned supporters will be sick of his #Winning lie, so sick that they will dying or dead for lack of health care.
This. Just a waste of money is all it is.
Sheesh Ducks…We don’t shoot people for seeking a better life…
Go back to posting funny stuff…
det Obama economy, rippin' s since he inherited your Bush's dumpster fire
No problem. They can now enter legally on work permits.
