TIJUANA, Mexico (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump’s wall is far from built but towering concrete and steel prototypes in San Diego are making Mexicans living just south of the border feel his campaign pledge has turned them into “pariahs.”

Eight samples as high as 30 feet (9 meters) were completed last week near the Otay Mesa border crossing, the first tangible sign of Trump’s vow to build a wall from California to Texas for some $21.6 billion.

Once built we should plant land mines and position automatic machine guns to take care of the few who manage to get through.

I guess they know how people in Guatemala feel now, huh? I bet they hypocritically love that particular border wall.

Dear border Mexican Pariahs. Your government had MANY DECADES to fix this problem and did nothing but intentionally make it worse. Too bad for you. Enjoy the new view.

"and a long walk even for a Texan.)"

Well let's put that in prospective.

If you were to divide the State of Alaska in to two parts / states, Texas would be the 3rd largest state.

Now if you really want to see a Texan, blow steam out of his ears, just tell that if you wait for "Low Tide," and divide Alaska into thirds, Texas would then be the fourth largest state.

Alaska, the last frontier. :-)

You can actually build a “wall” for less than a buck.

A single bullet through the head of an intruder would send the message to all that the border is enforced.

Illegal immigration would come to an immediate halt.

We, as a nation, are much too sophisticated for a simple solution, even one that has been proven to work in many nations. Try sneaking into Mexico, for instance, and see how you like it.

Simply put, a person in the U.S. illegally is an outlaw, that is one who is outside the law. Citizens have rights, illegal aliens have none. NONE! They are outside the law. Put a bounty on them, problem solved. Unfortunately, too simple for our over-educated, can't-change-a-tire ruling class.

There was a movie a couple years back that had an ice age hit the US so American refugees streamed into Mexico and “welcome arms”. I think I laughed out loud in the theatre because the Mexicans would probably machine gun down a hoard of US citizens if they descended upon them.

It should be pointed out over and over again that Mexico has very strict immigration laws, They don’t tolerate “undocumented” aliens.
