On the cost issue, Trump has repeatedly said that he will force Mexico to foot the bill for the construction of his hypothetical border wall. But a spokesperson for Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto threw cold water on that idea last month, saying, it “reflects an enormous ignorance for what Mexico represents, and also the irresponsibility of the candidate who’s saying it.”.....................Well I guess that settles it...

Why is he so concerned about us ‘wasting our time and money’?

People coming in on a visa are required to promise they will leave when their visa is up. Based on their representation that they will leave, they are let into this country for a defined length of time. Anyone who overstays, upon detection by law enforcement (there’s a laugh) needs to be fined, kicked out of the country summarily, and never, ever allowed to return. Period.

building the wall will cost $16 million per mile

That's peanuts. Houston's Metrorail's latest stretch cost $181,250,000.00 a mile.

A physical wall is so Roman Empire. Emporer Hadrian would be proud.

All we need is disguised motion activated cameras, drones, ATV with armed agents and a command and control system. We could be doing this next month for a fraction of the cost. Apprehendees would be finger printed and deported on the spot. If returned, then internerned for a year.

Eventually a trickle.

Dig 2 trenches. Fill them with barbed wire.

Jorge is a hypocrite and a bigot. He doesn’t speak out against Mexico’s OWN stance against illegal immigrants entering their country.

According to an estimate calculated by The New York Times,
NYT being the experts at construction costs and all...

Maybe they did their estimates using NY City public employees to build the wall.

I dont like the wall idea either.

2 rows of 20ft high electrified fence with topped with razor wire and 1000’s of armed robotic sentries bewteen them programmed to shoot on site anyone who tries to breach the border.

Do it across Canada too.

It’s only pointless because you think it is, but then again, your not important so your opinion doesn’t matter.....

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.

I actually watched the press conference. I consider my memory and comprehension as excellent.
Being a retired Engineer, and being familiar with all the multiple ways of lying, after reading this first sentence I chose not to waste my time reading the remainder.

Parsing and editing and distorting seems to have become the standard with the "progressive" gang.

Maybe someday we can show Jorge why the wall around his million dollar mansion is pointless.

Send every Mexican home and charge a 25% tariff for everything that comes from Mexico.

That Wall has a ONE MONTH ROI.

Anyone who hears anything at all sensible in what Ramos has been spewing lately obviously knew what they wanted to hear beforehand.

It is amazing to me all of these people who are so upset about a plan that they are 100% sure won’t work. If they are so sure, why do they care?

They are upset precisely because they know it will work.

I mst be missing something, I haven’t seen hoards of Chinese people hanging out at Home Depot.

11 million illegals? That is a joke. It’s more like 60 million.

“...citing a survey that found nearly 40% of undocumented immigrants come into the country by plane...”

I cannot think of any endeavour where a 60% improvement would not be considered worth it.

I think the Israeli barrier was closer to $2 million per mile. It looks to be substantial, not just barbed wire. Perhaps land purchase pushes up the US version.

Even at $20 billion on a budget of 3.5 Trillion does not seem that frightening. As others have pointed out would likely quickly pay for itself (assuming defending a culture was not enough).

Build the wall.
But since it would likely take ten years; first shut the border.
That can be done on day two of Ted Cruz’s inauguration as President.
Guard troops could work with Border Patrol and seal it tight as a drum in a few days.

Also once the border is sealed; people will quit coming and it would take less man power.

You don't have to deport them. Simply criminalize employing them, enforce it, and the vast majority will go back to Mexico on their own.

I just viewed BOR’s interview w/this clown. As much as I don’t like the blustery BOR I had to laugh when he over-pronounced Jorge and it came out real fine-” WHORE-HAY”
I watched the whole clip and I can’t believe what a frikkin’ flaming a$$hole Ramos is. I had to laugh tho, the intensity of his replies and him constantly circumventing the interviewer to continually hammer his point home-right or wrong was baffling to witness.

He would do better in quitting his job at Univision -get into metrosexual rentboy mode and peddle his perfumes and clothing lines on QVC.

good grief he is flaming a$$hole
