Put a 10% tax on wire transfers to Mexico to fund construction. Reduce the tax to 2% to pay for maintenance when the wall is complete.
Remember what we learned from Obamacare - a program with a dedicated funding source can’t be repealed through the annual appropriations process.
Although it may take a while to finish a fence we can set up mine fields on our side of the border while we build the fence. It’ll give us breathing room and force everyone to go through monitored and controlled border crossings rather than letting everyone through.
Yeah, because those tens of millions of third world immigrants changed it. One of the main reasons we "can't" build a fence is because there are so many millions of Hispanics here now who would be "offended" and scream racism. The problem that they caused is now the very reason we can't end it.

I think it should somehow involve corridors and rotating knives:
Mr. Wiggin: This is a 12-story block combining classical neo-Georgian features with the efficiency of modern techniques. The tenants arrive here and are carried along the corridor on a conveyor belt in extreme comfort, past murals depicting Mediterranean scenes, towards the rotating knives. The last twenty feet of the corridor are heavily soundproofed. The blood pours down these chutes and the mangled flesh slurps into these...
Client 1: Excuse me.
Mr. Wiggin: Yes?
Client 1: Did you say ‘knives’?
Mr. Wiggin: Rotating knives, yes.
Client 2: Do I take it that you are proposing to slaughter our tenants?
Mr. Wiggin: ...Does that not fit in with your plans?
Client 1: Not really. We asked for a simple block of flats.
Mr. Wiggin: Oh. I hadn’t fully divined your attitude towards the tenants. You see I mainly design slaughter houses.
You’re going about this all wrong.
All we need to do is put up a six foot Chain Link Fence and hang The Battle Flag of the Northern Virginia Democrat Confederates on it facing Mexico.
I’m sure with the Fear and Loathing the Flag has received, the Mexicans will be too afraid to touch it on the way in.
You're missing my point. I'm not against building a fence. I'm in favor of building it AND having it backed by a mine field, and troops with orders to open fire on invaders.

My biggest concern is the river, I have friends and family who have ranches with river front access. They’re livestock use that river daily and any fence would restrict that. My suggestion would be to put troops on the border, I can’t think of a better place for training young recruit’s and get a double benefit from it. On the ground, in the water, in the air, all movement across that border could be shut down except through ports of entry.
