I doubt it will be 1900 miles, more likely 1200 miles.
I believe he himself has said it would be a wall from El Paso to San Diego. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
Don’t forget Canada and their poutine fries.
It's a start.
Maybe the extra mileage is to wall off California, since they want to secede.......
“I believe he himself has said it would be a wall from El Paso to San Diego. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.”
Only place this is feasible, there will never be a wall on the Texas border.
I think it will be the entire length.
Trump can put out a call for volunteers—with travel trailers & campers, etc. Help deliver food supplies & potable water. Buy whatever supplies they can as locally as possible, but alot of that border is really remote. You can bring in those Tide trailers for laundry & I would bet that many women would volunteer with their mates to do cooking, etc. This is NOT impossible.
8000 volunteers—paid supervisors—NOT ‘union wages demands’—and GIT ‘ER DONE!!!
I have ridden horseback across some pretty remote parts of the west. Rode the Pony Express Trail in 2001. IT absolute is doable. Might even need pack animals to bring some of the supplies into the worst terrain-—but it CAN be done.
It would be done before we cook a turkey for 2017 Thanksgiving.
Well, either that, or from Tucson to Tucumcari.
The wall has to be 1900 miles so it can loop around the soon-to-be independently impoverished People’s Republic of California.
Everything east of El Paso is the riverbed of the Rio Grande River. Building a wall down the center of a river is not impossible, and would have other benefits if it was built in sections with locks to retain water on the northern side. Imagine improving the grazing and arable land all along the Texas border. Using the locks to move cargo via barges is cheap transport.
Let the Mexico side continue to be a bare trickle while the Texas side is a long swim for any attempted crossings. A web of electric eye beams along the surface of the water to trigger fast response boats could be very effective.
A less expensive barrier for the middle of a river would be military link fencing which could be laid in no time at all via boats and military trucks in shallow/dry stretches. It would not interfere with water rights sharing across the border and would be tougher to climb than a fence on dry land, but not ideal to my mind.
