Re: The Trump Wall

The wall idea in 2016 sounds too far fetched and ridiculous, the amount of work and resources to build it and then maintain would be too much to afford. It actually makes it look like a clown, I wonder if he could've kinda implement a new technology to keep the border safe, drones, night sensors, etc, even if it bullshit and never work at least the public would be interested on it.

Doesn't sound too ridiculous to me. The wall is expected to cost somewhere between $10 billion and $30 billion. But the benefits will be more than that in a single year. And in the long term, the wall can make a profit of trillions.

Do you really think so? As the wall can make money? Even the great wall of China which is dismantled for Souvenirs does not make that much money. Who can stop a wall? Trump will never build a wall. If he starts building it will be a monument to his idiocy.

You lack perspective with all due respect.

In the short term, massive building project like that will create and support hundreds of thousands of jobs. In the long term it will likewise regulate flow of goods, people and money over the border cutting down room for criminals and smugglers. This is precisely why generation after generation of Chinese kept building and upkeeping their wall.

Souvenirs are irrelevant in bigger picture.
