9 Things That Could Happen If Trump Builds "The Wall!"
 

So what exactly would happen if President Donald Trump actually built "The Wall"?! Learn all about the possible effects of a giant wall separating the United States and Mexico

fuck the wall... sanction employers

#10 - Walls end up being used to keep people IN not OUT. When an empire reaches end of life, historically, they overextend their ability to manage their territory and run up excessive debt. This always leads to the collapse of the empire.

As overextended empires collapse, they increasingly rely on their most productive (richest) citizens to finance their debt. This is done by increasing the taxes on these productive citizens, and taxes don't get collected if the rich citizens can freely leave the empire.

As taxes go up, the incentive to leave goes up. As I recall (cite needed), every major empire in history ultimately forbade and prevented its citizenry from fleeing - even as the empire imposed increasingly totalitarian laws upon those citizens. Walls were frequently erected to further the goal of forcing productive citizens to stay and service the debt of the empire.

At a time when Mexican immigration into the US is at all time lows, the purpose of this wall seems suspect to me. The fact that US debt is already far beyond the country's ability ever to repay, I would be wary of a wall that could easily be converted from its stated purpose of stopping immigration, to it's fairly obvious objective - stopping emigration.

one word... aeroplanes

More tunnels added to the their existing border wall tunnel network

There are laws on the statute books that make hiring illegal immigrants a crime. Are the not prosecuted or not caught often enough to deter the practice? This has happened under lots of Presidents who are ignoring what Americans want.

That wall is a good old macguffin . . .

This has been explained to you so many times here.

you also ignore the fact that Trump has gotten caught hiring illegals multiple times over the years including this year!

The dirty Little secret Republicans don't want you to know is that illegals are customers of their businesses as well.

Illegals buy cell phones

Illegals pay for cellphone service

Illegals buy gas

Illegals buy groceries

Illegals buy clothes

Illegals buy movie tickets

Illegals go to restaurants

Illegals buy cars

Illegals pay rent for housing

Etc. Etc. Etc.

The real reason Republicans are not tough on immigration.

#1 is the most likely. If it ever really gets going, it'll take years because it's an almost imposible feat of logistics, labor and red tape. Trump will be gone either this year or the next and even if his successor has only a single ounce of common sense and rationality the project will be trashed.

Paul. Serious question. Do you read any of our responses?

Trump isnt building a wall... Trump equals do nuffins president. The only thing he can successfully do is fuck shit up..

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Even more delusional than Crockett & Bladewire!!! LOL!!!

So you're in favor of violent drug cartels and child sex traffickers operating freely?

:1orglaugh

Currently Trump is not paying CBP, TSA, or Coast Guard, all of whom are supposed to protect your borders. So I'd guess that you're in favor of violent drug cartels and child sex traffickers operating freely? cos there all operating on a dwindling min staff.

Dipshit. That wall is never going to be built. The Republicans don't want it...and they'll play along with Trump until they grow some nuts.

there are a few in my state that have went to prison! they need to do a random police to check business

So you are saying Americans want to pay more for everything? American businesses want to pay more for labor, and Americans want to pay more for their food?
