We pay for the wall and MX will pay us back.  Now we find out that will be done via this 20% tariff.  Companies won't eat that cost, they'll pass it on to us.  So we get to pay a second time.

don't buy their products

Then we don't get directly paid back, so we'll have to stretch and maintain that the intent of the 20% was actually to increase business activity here and that's how we're being paid back.

Employ Americans to make products here instead of exploiting labor elsewhere. Basically balancing the trade imbalance. Not sure if I disagree with what he is doing although it does start a tarrif war so our exports will simply be unaffordable. It could backfire terribly. 

That is the main danger. I also agree with Jay about exempting food items. It's not like we are overrun with places to grow things that require a tropical climate.

Has anyone here even mentioned how long it would take to build the wall, how it will be built given environmental circumstances in certain areas, the land that the government will have to seize to build it, how effective it would even be if completed, and the fact that illegal immigration across the border has been trending down the last four years already?

Yes

Ok, just checking. 

Carry on.

I said I thought it would take about 20 years.  I assume I'm probably wrong, but it seems like it would take a long ass time. 

Hell, it's taking CA about 50 years to build a train that no one will ride.

Talked about this at lunch with a buddy yesterday. He's convinced it'll be an electronic wall more than bricks & concrete (or whatever materials they're planning to use).

Dang it, Adam Ruins Everything

And this is the best idea I have heard in a while.

Maybe they could convince Trump that it's like Arckimedes Death Ray.

I'm pretty sure if you believe the wall is a bad idea, you're now considered an antisemite.

Wow.  Before, we were just sucking Israel's cock.  Now we're taking it full in the ass, no lube or condom.

Electronic wall?  Well, I guess Barron will be building it because he's the best at cyber.

What the hell is an electronic wall?

It isn't too far fetched that Mango would get his ideas from Tommy Boy, in addition to Fox News and Brietbart.

Yes, seriously.  Semantics not aside, there is a distinct difference between electric and electronic.  Semantics aside, is it similar to an electric fence?

[Blarg]

It's similar to the difference between lightning and the lightning bug.

6) imports won't go to zero.

n) the purpose of the 20% tax IS to increase business activity here and to motivate corporations to operate their businesses here.
