Herr drumpf has said he wants to take land away from Americans as well as Mexicans. Some Americans agree, though not the ones who would lose their homes!

Then there's the cost - Quoted at $4million per mile or more. No problem though, cuz Mexico is paying. Right? The president of the US promised that. Many many many many many many many times. All lies and coincidentally, the same number of times he lied about Mexico paying for it. He also said he loves debt and that's the truth of this - just charge it to our elderly and our descendants.

Many of the most ignorant will say foolish things like "round them up and deport them". Obviously, they don't think that rash statement through. Those same people will also say they are against driver's licenses or other ways of actually tracking undocumented/illegals. Go figure.

So, now that we've covered that, let's get to location, location, location ...

No, the Rio Grande aka Rio Bravo does not belong only to the US. Nor does it belong wholly to Mexico. There are treaties to consider and no, the US does not get to just steal the river, even though drumpf will likely say otherwise.

Almost 1900 miles long, the river flows through three US states and two countries. Its still the third largest US river but has been dammed and polluted until most of what it once was is gone. It is sometimes dry and sometimes floods. There are times when Mexico does not share and times when the US does not.

There's actually a lot of moving parts to this question so ===

Happy reading ... What do you think?

The wall: Building a continuous US-Mexico barrier would be a tall order
 
When the Russians did this in East Germany they put the wall on their side of the surveyed border.

That's what DJT will need to do along Mexico too.
 
Sorry, Haters, but Trump’s Interior Secretary Did Not Actually Say the Border Wall Would Be Built on Mexican Soil

Anyone who's been there knows that a continuous wall is almost impossible. How do you split the Rio Grande? Or cross private property without giving the owners a “fair value” for it? So, it appears the left is, once again, going loco or something that wasn't said by the Interior Secretary.

What did he say?

At the same time, Zinke suggested the wall would not be as big or impassible as the president believes is necessary to stop illegal immigrants.

"The border is complicated, as far as building a physical wall," he said. "The Rio Grande, what side of the river are you going to put the wall? We're not going to put it on our side and cede the river to Mexico. And we're probably not going to put it in the middle of the river."

Electronic defenses may be more appropriate in some areas, Zinke said. Others with imposing physical features may not require additional reinforcements.

Sure a far cry from what is being brayed in the media.

We don't need a wall. I think we need to make all those wonderful people that either condone illegal aliens or hire them, actually LIVE with them right next door. With all their malevolent animal fighting and trash dumping misogynist ignorant dumb-ass behavior. All that pro illegal propaganda drama would end damned quick.

I'd like to jam the entirety of it right into your colon.

So the interior secretary is saying Trump promised a bunch of unworkable crap too.

You never actually met a Mexican family, have you?

They already do. Just as I did for more than 25 years.

If YOU had, you would not be writing the fiction you always do.

Naw, you would write stuff that's untrue.

You RWNJs want to turn the US into Russia but Americans will not let you. Move to Russia - where you would not last 10 minutes.

That doesn't address the issues though, nor would it slow crossers.

But at least you actually answered on topic.

There is no need for a physical wall any longer, and Trump should understand this now. It is a matter of stopping the draw here from within, and the making good on existing immigration laws, deport criminals, and shore up the border with technology, gaurd towers strategically placed, man power given the ability to do their jobs, and arrest American's who stand in the way of any of this. Americans standing in the way of this nation applying immigration law will be arrested. Enough is enough.
 
I am living in a post Trump era, 40 years ago I never saw illegal immigrants defying immigration laws. We all spoke English then. Now? Mexicans illegals are some holier than thou class of untouchables. I don't buy that.
