Sorry, you are badly misinformed. The "Wall" bill has already been introduced, passed, and approved, and even largely funded. It just hasn't been built due to no executive willing to do so.

Sorry, you are badly misinformed. It was only 700 miles, and you knew it. It stopped in the courts pursuant to environmental treaties.

The Secure Fence Act, signed by President George W. Bush in 2006, promised 700 miles (1,126 kilometers) of fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border; however, lawsuits and protests from citizen groups halted construction. The Sierra Club and Defenders of Wildlife filed a lawsuit challenging the ability of the Bush administration to waive important environmental regulations in order to build the wall on the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area in Arizona. These regulations include the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. In October 2007, a U.S. district court sided with the organizations and stopped construction. SourceA great example of how a chief executive makes a constitutional end run around congress is the Panama Canal. Read the history of how that was done, how congress's own commission didn't accomplish anything, and how TR singlehandedly got the whole project working.

I take it you admire dictatorship and benevolent despotism. I prefer the Constitution.
