FRACK! I can't count. Should be $33 Billion, not $33 Trillion.

That might be true, but a very very expensive wall may not be the best answer. More aliens fly into the US then cross the border at Mexico. Also, Mexicans may no longer make up the majority of illegal aliens in the US.

No one is saying you can't police your borders. What I am trying to point out is:
- A wall separating Mexico and the US is a ridiculous idea.
- It won't solve all / most / half / of illegal immigration problems. It probably serves Trump's ego more than anything else.
- $33 Billion is still a low-ball estimate. It'll probably cost alot more
- He forgot about the US-Canada border. No, we won't pay for his fucking wall either.
- He said Mexico would pay for it. I thought the US had a $20 Trillion dollar debt - how will the US pay for it?

What message exactly? And regardless of the message, isn't there a cheaper way to send it?
Come on dude, in all seriousness. If Trump came to you and asked you to solve the illegal immigration problem and said you could keep whatever was left over from $33B IF it was truly effective, don't you think you could come up with a better idea than a wall?
