The "big, beautiful wall" promise is just like his "birther" movement. He telegraphs his punches. He's said all along that if he tells a lie and acts like he believes it and keeps repeating it, people will believe it. He knew what he needed to tap into, and he did. Thanks for posting this.

(25,816 posts)I've been here since '78. There used to be quite a few crossers, but not any more.
I've never had a problem with crossers. In fact, I've given some work, water, food, clothing and rides.
Once I walked out early (I have 40 acres), and saw a line of crossers, moving in silence in the shadows.
A young woman with a baby. They looked at me and saw that I was not a menace.
The video is excellent, but it doesn't address the environmental effects, like the leopards that
cross as well. Or the eminent domain issues, which would tie things up for years in court.
The wall will never happen. There are a few miles of fence in nearby Naco, but all they need
to do is go a little further and walk around it.
I love our Mexican neighbors. My ex (the kids' mom) is half Hispanic, making my kids a quarter.
Edit to add: Would Spanky build the wall in the middle of the river? Or just cede the Rio Grande
to Mexico? Ranchers and farmers won't go for that.

(515 posts)this dumb wall would be tied up in court for decades, most of it is private property. This guy never voted before (33yrs old) ...the wall drove him out to the polls.
