The usual GOP nonsense about National Security and the Southern Border will emerge along with the terrorists who would sooner come across that border than the one with Canada. And this will become a GOP talking point for 2018.
Visiting model walls is not even like visiting model homes, but 45* did that as a way to pay for a recent GOP fundraising trip.
The Trumpian base should recognize that this is just another in the endless stream of BS coming from 45*.
Look for some new meme associating MS-13 with international terrorism, or more amusingly, that Cubans and Venezuelans will somehow some over the Southern Border. Because Red Dawn, not the version where the North Koreans / Chinese attacked the US.
This CT has been floated by more than one GOP politician over the past few years, that somehow ISIS & Al-Q have decided to infiltrate the US via Venezuela.
So is to be the wall that President Donald Trump promises to build along the border. But no matter how tall and thick a wall will be, illicit flows will cross.
Undocumented workers and drugs will still find their way across any barrier the administration ends up building. And such a wall will be irrelevant to those people who become undocumented immigrants by overstaying their visas—who for many years have outnumbered those who become undocumented immigrants by crossing the U.S.–Mexico border.
Nor will the physical wall enhance U.S. security.
The estimates vary so widely because of the lack of clarity about what the wall will actually consist of beyond the first meager Homeland Security specifications that it be either a solid concrete wall or a see–through structure, “physically imposing in height,” ideally 30 feet high but no less than 18 feet, sunk at least six feet into the ground to prevent tunneling under it; that it should not be scalable with even sophisticated climbing aids; and that it should withstand prolonged attacks with impact tools, cutting tools, and torches. But that description doesn’t begin to cover questions about the details of its physical structure. Then there are the legal fees required to seize land on which to build the wall. The Trump administration can use eminent domain to acquire the land but will still have to negotiate compensation and often face lawsuits. More than 90 such lawsuits in southern Texas alone are still open from the 2008 effort to build a fence there.
Maybe he means the Mexican Military?
The border wall was one of the chief promises from Donald Trump while he was on the 2016 campaign trail, with Trump saying he planned to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and that he would make Mexico pay for it. But a recent tweet from Trump appearing to suggest it could be built through military funding and a Washington Post report that Trump is already pressing the military to build the wall suggests that idea has since died.
As the Washington Post reported, Trump has suggested to Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and leaders in Congress that the construction of the border wall would address a “national security” risk and that the Pentagon should pay for it. The report said that House Speaker Paul Ryan had little reaction to the proposal and others in Congress cast doubt on the idea of the military paying for it, the Washington Post added.
