Somebody needs to start working on force field technology. It'll be effective, plus it'll be hilarious if the force field is invisible to the naked eye and we get to watch people continually bump into it. Tee hee.

1) Trump's promise was that Mexico would pay for it and he'd get them to pay for it because he's the world's greatest negotiator (his words).
2) Now that 1) failed because Trump was lying, I see no reason to spends billions on something that won't really work, unless every square inch of the wall is guarded. People will go under it, through it and/or over it
3) The not upfront fees in the wall would be another HUGE financial burden year after year, as a wall needs to be guarded (see 2) and it would need to be repaired
We're better off taking that 5billion Trump is begging for because he failed on his promise to make Mexico fund the wall and using it to hire more border security, train them better, equip them with better technology (eg surveillance drones). Also, improving countries South of the border so less people want/need to come over. People won't flee a war zone if there's no war.
edit: Why aren't Trumpers holding Trump to his promise/boast here on getting Mexico to fund his project?
While I don't really have a problem with "they tried their best." sentiment on a case by case basis. Mexico was never going to pay for the wall, this was known.
I'd say "zero met", because a promise that could never be fulfilled to begin with isn't a promise, it's a lie. It's like telling your 6yo that you're getting her a Unicorn-Pegasus pony for her 7th birthday. And yes, if you believed Trump's "I will make Mexico pay!" claims, you might as well be a 6yo.
Even if Mexico wanted to pay for the wall (they said "no" from the start), they're not in a real position to give the US 20+ billion.
That's wrong. Your Pegasus Unicorn comparison is faulty. It is a promise that could be delivered. He didn't promise to come up with warp-drive. He promised to build a US-Mexico border-wall. Some of it already exists.
As long as the politician makes a reasonable effort, they tried. It's stupid to expect a politician to deliver things if they are opposed every step of the way. But you should hold them accountable for efforts. That's your job as the voter.
Do you think Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will get free-college tuition implemented? What about Medicare-For-All? No? But these are her primary platform points - her fundamental promises. Are you going to equally condemn her for not delivering those within her term or are you going to be reasonable and require her to make every reasonable effort to reach those goals?
I sure wouldn't condemn her for not delivering those things. That would be stupid and idiotic. Wait a minute...are you stupid and idiotic? Surely not. Surely you aren't that dense...right? Surely you understand how retarded it is to use "participation trophy" as a talking point. Else you condemn every single Democrat in office.
