Hell ya it will work both ways. In some areas you can just walk or swim across.
Yet if it's US controlled and federal agencies are involved like they were in Operation Fast & Furious then something tells me that it won't matter and guns will still walk through if US authorities want them to. It's not like certain US agencies don't have history of working with drug cartels is it?
Here is an older article dealing with the issue. It states that environmental barriers exist that would prevent a complete wall from being built. Big Bend National Park is one such barrier.
Well big infrastructure projects are good in a depressed economy. Probably should've done something 6 or 7 years ago. Preferably something more productive than a giant wall. Like something to tackle drought conditions in california (not dams though as all the most viable areas in the West of the US already have them but a large pipe network from the central and Northern water abundant states. Or maybe a huge liquid fluoride thorium reactor building project that would secure energy requirements and deal with the nuclear waste issue.

To me this is good news. It just means the government really needs to get cracking on some force field technology.

Rob is a Liberal Progressive so all I have to tell him is that I am an illegal alien/refuge. Then I am open to steal all his stuff, and rape his loved ones. He won't be able to do jack after that.
Originally posted by Time-ImmemorialThen they start trading with China more extensively and the US pays the price. Economics is a pretty huge entity and the US doesn't have infinite weight to throw around. Trying to be a bully to another country could hurt us in the long run. Is it really worth the risk for a wall that most likely won't keep people out?
Trump said the wall is peanuts to what they make off trade, they are making a fortune on trade.So one of two ways they pay.
They pay for it out right, they pay for it on a tariff.
Boom👆
Also you're completely misunderstanding what Rob is saying about the door.
He is saying that if someone really wants to get into your house your door lock isn't going to stop them. But locking your door is free unlike this wall which will cost money to build.
Also your mega 100 foot tall 100 foot deep concrete and steel wall would be a lot more expensive than you realize.
Roughly how much do you think it will cost to build a 2 000 mile concrete and steel wall?
This doesn't have to include the cost of wiring the wall for electricity or manning the wall or maintaining the wall or even the cost of labor.
How much do you think in raw materials it will cost to build your super wall?
