Will he really build a wall?
I read it can be done, it would cost about 8 Billion and could be done in 4 years, the same amount of time he would be in office.
I think he will.

You know for a damn fact mexico isnt going to fork up to pay a wall all across bottom line of texas.

The fact he said mexico would pay for it is just dumb, and if he thinks we all would want to pay for it thats even more dumb.

Then again that would question on spending in general since half the US is made up of immigrants who made US what it is today...

Mexico should build the wall themselves and every twenty feet or so, put a door in it that can only be opened from the Mexican side. Grin

Seriously, though, if America is crazy enough to elect Trump, then I'm pretty sure that controversy about a stupid wall is the least of your problems.

Then again, the UK isn't much better off with Theresa May(garet Thatcher, the second coming. All she needs is an Argentinian ship to sink and then she ticks all the boxes):

Progressive policies have gained May support among moderates and modernizers, but many feel uncomfortable with her immigration policy. The Irish Times described various policy proposals she's put forward on immigration as "draconian enough to be overruled by cabinet colleagues."
May wants to reduce net migration to the UK from 330,000 to the tens of thousands and wants to bar British citizens from bringing in their foreign born spouses or children unless they meet certain financial requirements regardless of how much the foreign spouse earns.
When immigration is too high, when the pace of change is too fast, its impossible to build a cohesive society, she said in a 2015 speech.
She also voted in May to repeal the Human Rights Act. She reasoned that it limits the power of government, according to the Independent.

Seems everyone's gone mad for restrictions on immigration, despite the fact that figures prove immigration is a net contributor to the UK economy and, given recent aftershocks from a certain referendum, you'd think we'd naturally take all the help for our economy we can get right now. Perhaps common sense is too much to ask in the current political climate.
