Plans are underway to build North American/Mexican border wall

[Cushi]

Donald Trump has announced that plans to build the border wall are underway. Unlike what he claimed in the beginning, it will be paid for by American tax dollars and he claims Mexico will reimburse the US for the wall... we'll see... https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2017/01/25/politics/donald-trump-build-wall-immigration-executive-orders/index.html?client=safari

lol....  some are saying all the stuff he's gonna do is gonna be privately contracted... so much for trying to get people decent jobs. 

Just me being negative and pessimistic.

A wall to keep Americans in...hmm...

[Tortuga]

I wonder how many undocumented workers will get paid to work on the wall...

Oh by the way, the third brick from the left is loose...

Just watched a nature show on PBS that says the wall will decimate the populations of rare animals

that migrate back and forth between the USA and Mexico.  Desert cats and such.  

This talks about it too:

Trump's Border Wall Would Be a Disaster for Wildlife

Quote

In previous articles in this series we've looked at a some of the likely unintended environmental consequences of the gigantic border wall proposed by Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump, from the climate impacts of such a massive construction project to the wall's inevitable disruption of stream courses resulting in massive floods.

 

But some of the longest-lasting environmental consequences of the proposed border wall would result from the wall doing precisely what it's supposed to do: stop migration across the border. The wall will impede a lot more than just human beings from migrating. It will stop animals as well, and their genes, and even the plant species they disperse.

private contractor doesn't mean the contractors won't hire more people...

Congrats on your very first post, my dear shy Sister Shey!!! 

See...that wasn't so bad now, was it.

Can't wait to read and share more thoughts with you.

Me-----><-------You...when you're feelin' up to it, that is.

I have a feeling that if this system does last long enough he will somehow financially blackmail Mexico into paying for it...

That's how all jobs are.  They are either private sector or government jobs.  Privately contracted jobs could employ lots of people.

Someone should gift him a cement mixer. .. He would get a lot of use out of it

There's been plenty of footage of tunnels,  so I can't see this wall working. Shame about the wildlife as well.
