I think what Mr. Trump wants is a wall that looks more like Israel’s:

Now this, this is a WALL:
And this is what it will take. Serious, no fooling around substance
You got it! That is the type Mr. Trump is talking about!
Despite my bad knees, I could get down and crawl under that fence.
He makes some reasonable points. We probably don’t need much in areas where the terrain itself is an effective barrier. But no doubt there’s still a lot that could be done to beef up or extend the wall in other areas to make it more effective. Do this plus tighten up our immigration policy and we’ll be in better shape.
You know Obama’s alligator moat may not be such a bad idea. Put a few alligator in the Rio Grand. Ranchers may lose a few cows but they could water elsewhere and save money without the illegals vandalizing their property. I’m just talking off the top of my head.
Or maybe just push it over!
Quite apart from this wall, there are some heavy-lifting issues that must be addressed.
We all know full well that an army of immigration attorneys and the ACLU will file a confetti of lawsuits and injunctions to stop the Donald in his tracks and they will have the support of obliging lower federal courts.
He needs to tell us:
1. How does he plan to identify, apprehend, and deport all illegals?
2. Dreamers will claim that they have been provided “vested rights” and it is unconstitutional to retroactively take this away from them.
3. K-12 education is a constitutional interpretation.
4. Birthright citizenship is a constitutional interpretation.
5. Right to medical treatment, even no-essential medical care, is a constitutional interpretation.
Simply declaring that he plans to move mountains (albeit a good start) is simply an illusion without specifying realistic methods and means to achieve this.
Good point.
I think right now, just mentioning Mr. Trumps name would even have the so-called ACLU peeing in their paints.
LINE THE BORDER WITH NUCLEAR WASTE!!!
Saw the pictures... that’s a wall?
NO, it isn’t and it isn’t effective... we all know that by simple inspection of what we see.
The author of this fluff piece is just that... fluffy headed.
Before we do these things we have to say we’re going to do these things.
The rest of the candidates won’t even use the word “deport”.
And it is not just enough to spot them entering, you must get people there to intercept and apprehend them.
Has this guy ever owned a horse? Try keeping one in a pasture where the fence is 90% complete. Get ready to lose your horse, moron.

I suggest this as addition to an 18ft wall.. and maintenance facility’s... also new branch of the Coast Guard.. “landshark” division..
