During his press conference in New York on Thursday, Donald Trump reiterated his dedication to building a massive wall along the entire southern border of the United States with Mexico. Univision anchor Jorge Ramos thinks this idea is not merely absurd but also a “complete waste of time and money.”
“As you can imagine, for the last few days, I’ve been thinking a lot about Donald Trump and his plan to deport more than 11 million undocumented immigrants from the United States,” Ramos said in a segment for his Fusion show America, following his confrontation with the GOP frontrunner a week ago.
Ramos proceeded to use a white board to literally illustrate everything that is wrong with Trump’s plan. According to an estimate calculated by The New York Times, building the wall will cost $16 million per mile for a total of about $20 billion. Ramos noted that the larger border between the U.S. and Canada would remain “completely open” (assuming Scott Walker is not elected president).
“This wall would be a complete waste of time and money,” Ramos continued, citing a survey that found nearly 40% of undocumented immigrants come into the country by plane and overstay their visas (this is where Chris Christie’s FedEx-like tracking program comes in handy).
On top of that, Ramos noted that more immigrants are coming into the country from China than are coming from Mexico. “Go figure,” he said.

What does Mexico represent? Utopia for Spanish speakers?
Gee.
And to think we couldn’t build a transcontinental railroad using picks, shovels, and black powder. We couldn’t build the Eire Canal, Panama Canal, and the French couldn’t build the Suez canal.
Bet we couldn’t have won WWII either.
It’s not that hard to imagine making Mexico pay for the wall. Cut off remittances until they do so.
I’m beginning to think Jorge is pointless.
NUKE MEXICO!!!!
The government owned Mexican Museum in Mexico City has a huge mosaic map of what the government believes the real Mexico should look like; yep, it includes all the territory Mexico lost when we fought them and then paid them money, and forgave Mexico its international crimes against U.S.citizens.
I am not ignorant of what Mexico represents. The Mexican government is made up of criminals.
Ramos the one trick burro.
Meheeco better start saving up, they have a big bill coming.
Oh, and FU whore hay.
So if we send 11 million people back to Mexico. the Liberals will have a field day - with massive deaths, starvation and daily the MSM will flash dying children on the screen and state look what trump has done - killing babies. The UN will get involved and Odumbass will come as the savior - Watch and see - I betcha I will be right a Humantarian Crisis
If Mexico can build a strong secure fence along their Southern border, they can certainly build another along their Northern border, as well. (Obviously, we know why they refuse. Their main source of income is the USA.)
As mentioned in related threads, not only will the cost of the wall pale in comparison to the massive, unconstitutional debt that the Washington cartel has put the nation into, but the wall would probably eventually pay for itself with respect to illegals no longer receiving unconstitutional federal welfare benefits.
Bumping to the MOON, sir!
Just wait a little while, Trump will have a whole new plan on this.
So if you can’t catch all the rapists, you should not catch any???? This is what passes for reasoning? Fallacy is too good a word for this kaka.
Sounds like a disorganized mess. Is Jorge bipolar? Or on drugs? Or just too full of himself?
12 million unemployed blacks who’s jobs these illegals took will pack up for them and drive them to the border so they can get work when the Illegals are gone.
Americans First.
First it’s fascinating to see a “journalist” giving a political presentation.
Next, the wall will “only” stop 60%, sounds good to me.
I don’t think Jorge can convince me the Mexicans will just use the unguarded Canadian border.
Rather obvious when these leftists tell you something won’t work - then what are they worried about?
