Trump's absurdly idiotic wall idea
Trump doe not hide the fact that he's a racist xenophobe (are there any other kinds of xenophobes?)
But what about him being a two-faced manipluative racist? Well, he's that, too.
He said to the Mexicans when he visited, "In the United States, first-, second- and third-generation Mexicans are just beyond reproach — spectacular, spectacular, hard-working people. I have such great respect for them and their strong values of family, faith and community..."
Contrast this with his other statements about his ridiculously stupid idea of building a wall:
“We will build a great wall along the southern border!"... “And Mexico will pay for the wall! One-hundred percent. They don’t know it yet, but they’re going to pay for the wall.”
Now let's talk about this stupid-ass wall.
1. Over 2100 miles long and literally impossible to build without overwhelmingly high landscaping (leveling shit) costs needed to build in mountainous areas (among other tops of topography). Someone should tell Trump about how ROI works. He should know but apparently he forgot. How much money is saved by keeping them out? How much does it cost to build this fence? Yeah...you're looking at ridiculously shitty reverse ROI...or an LOI.
It costs us $113 billion, annually, on illegal immigration, by the way, according to this study:
And much of this could be recouped if we had a far better tax system.
2. We'd have to build the fence quite far into the US, at times, giving tons of land to the Mexicans...so we wouldn't really be keeping them out, we'd be letting them take over our lend by building a fence far into our property. Here you go, Mexicans, have some land back that we took from you during the Mexican-American War! Weee!
3. Conservation and environmental issues. I shouldn't have to explain how this could interfere with plant and animal life...it should be obvious. You don't need to be a conservationist or biologist to know how stupidly shitty this idea is from just a conservation perspective.
4. Shittying up diplomatic relations with Mexico by trying to force directly or indirectly, Mexico to pay for the fence.
5. And this should put the final nail in the coffin about the wall: it literally does not keep anyone out. It doesn't keep the drugs out. It doesn't keep the people out. They can easily cross. It just makes it slightly less convenient to cross. And if they fail? They can just try again and then succeed. On no! What are we going to do.
Since we have plenty of anti-Hillary threads, we need far more anti-Trump threads. Both candidates suck major amounts of stinky ass.
