SO what is your answer to the question? Do we invade mexico and build the wall on their side, cutting them off from the river? Do we build an impassable wall on our side of the river, cutting off our people, along with all the animals that require the water, from the river?
Or do you think we’ll build an impassable wall right down the middle of the river, creating two rivers separated by concrete?
We build the wall on our side and use irrigation techniques developed 4,000 years ago enhanced with modern pumps and pipes..
Build the wall on our side. Ranchers are not exactly bereft of other ways to water their animals.
How about option #4:
build the wall outside the river’s flood plain, with gates every few miles with a manned guardpost to let the cattle ranchers get to and fro when they need access to the river?
Building the wall down the
middle would create some
construction difficulties,
but it is certainly doable.
Locks, bridges, dams,and canals
built to date have had to deal
with the control and flow of water.
It may cost a little more, but
Mexico is going to pay for it.
