does the wall make those 11 million illegal immigrants leave the country? how will you remove them? will you join a posse and go door to door?
First they pass out identification stickers that brown people have to wear when they go outside. Later, they get put on a train and sent to "camp".. I think you know where I'm going with this.
Maybe he's just trying to beat Obama's record for deportation?
The "wall" will never get built.
the logistics alone make it impossible. Re-enforcement of the exisiting border fences and guardpost - maybe..
I have a feeling he's now jus ttrying to ge the ball rolling so that people realize he intended to make good on his promises. Even if he builds a 10' section of 60' tall wall somewhere it BFE Texas, he'll technically have made partial good on his campaign promises, which is honestly more than most Presidents accomplish in their first few months...
Heck, he's probably still just f*cking with the media by persuing this.. (I really hope that's what it is actually..)
Meanwhile, I'm curious to hear how he plans to keep illegal border jumpers out of Hawaii. Or Alaska. Or some of our other territories.

For me personally, I'd like for him to continue looking at the existing trade agreements.
I've talked about this before, but just reiiterating, it's rather f*cked up that someone can ship a giant door panel from the UK or China for $100 across the ocean and across the US, whereas it cost me $300 to ship the same damn thing to the next state...
It's great if you're a buyer, but not so good if you're selling and trying to stay competative.

My guess is the overwhelming majority of tax payers wouldn't be very pleased if their tax dollars were used to subsidize shipping costs to the degree that China does.
Americans will pay the wall from their own pocket. Twice. Three times. Four times....
The first time upon building. $16 billions, at least.
The second time, they'll pay the same amount, in import taxes if Chimp applies his 20% tax. Simply because it is the buyer that pays taxes, not the seller.
The commercial deficit between Mexico and the US is $60 billions. If I remember, Mexico imports for $20 billions from the US, and exports for $80 billions.
The co-founder of Patron tequila, which is produced in Mexico, is urging President Donald Trump and his administration to reconsider its threat to tax Mexican imports 20% to pay for a border wall, warning American consumers will ultimately be the ones paying for it.
Oh. So much for their president saying that Mexico is a country without borders.
"according to the Secretary of the Interior (Secretaría de Gobernación, SEGOB), Mexico deported 107,814 migrants in 2014, the vast majority of which were from Central America. That is a 35 percent increase from 2013, when authorities deported 80,079 migrants. The increase in Mexico’s deportation of children is even more striking: the 18,169 children that Mexico deported in 2014 represents a 117 percent increase from 2013, when that number was 8,350."
