I agree the wall will NEVER be built.
People simply do not understand the issue
“I agree the wall will NEVER be built. People simply do not understand the issue.”
I agree with your first sentence. But people understand the issue just fine. There is too much power and money riding on leaving the border open. D’s want voters. Chamber of Commerce R’s want cheap labor.
Trump would have to get funding for the wall through congress over massive lobbying by those two groups. Not to mention all the NGO’s. All they have to do is get 40 votes in the Senate and the wall is done.
Congress may head fake a wall again. But they will quietly defund it a year later ala McCain when he was running for Senate.
The only exception I will allow to this is if Trump wins a landslide election over the D. He will have some time (6 months maybe) where he might have the political capital to push the wall through in principle and in appropriation. But then he will have to fight for eight years to actually make it happen.
