My personal view is that this F***king wall is NEVER going to happen.
Congress will never pay for it.

However, Texas doesn't want it to screw up Big Bend country or the big park there and NM doesn't want the fucking thing, at all, so it'll be mostly AZ and San Diego that will "benefit."

(5,822 posts)I've said it before but Pence scares me more than Trump
Trump is a baffoon and self limiting with his laziness and self inflicted drama.
Pence is a true believer is his religious right zealotry. He would spend every waking moment ramming through his agenda via EO and agency directions.
If Trump goes down, we absolutely need Pence to go down with him.

(54,176 posts)Appropriate enough money to make headlines but not nearly enough to accomplish anything real, get a photo op signing it, get another photo op "breaking ground" then let the project stagnate and say it will take years to complete.
Stupid policy, cheap theatrics. The m$m will eat it up.

(60,731 posts)maybe even throw up a couple of miles of wall somewhere, let Trump wield his golden shovel, then bury it.

(960 posts)Very low chance they ever finish the highways to transport materials before dems kick republicans out of power and impeach Trump.

(6,344 posts)They have to build roads for the trucks in order to build it. Oh, this is never going to happen!

(53,061 posts)There are already miles and miles of physical barriers, some are walls some are fences.
Near El Centro the border is so close to the 8 that there are two fences to slow them down.

(42,785 posts)The Republican Party has its own agenda and will use Trump as their own Useful idiot, a rubber stamp for their programs. I bet many of the Republicans on Capital Hill secretly chuckled at the idea of some giant wall at the Mexican border. Their goal is to make money, and you don't make money keeping people from working for less than a few bucks a day picking fruit.
