Put that money into infrastructure and beefing up the border patrol budget, honestly.

Even if we "make Mexico pay for it", the up-front cost will be enormous and it will be a drain on resources. Using up that much concrete, steel, and sheer manpower will drive prices through the roof, specifically for companies like mine who have a big demand for material milled in the US.

Logistically, it will be a nightmare to manage the building of it and you're talking about years before any real results are realized after the concept, design, and bidding, and procurement stages are completed. If it's going 10 ft underground as is the claim, the trenching for something like that will take the entire length of his first term. $25 Bil for that project seems dirt cheap, to me.


And the cartels will find a way around it to continue smuggling drugs and people.
