I don’t see why not. Illegal aliens waltz across the border welcomed by corrupt politicians and corrupt businessmen.

True. If Congress give us it's blessing, great, I would be glad to have them aboard but if they do not, heck with them. I wonder what would happen if the industry and States would just start building the thing?

Re your question: “I wonder what would happen if the industry and States would just start building the thing? “

Already addressed this in a previous comment.

They would send lots of men with big guns to make you stop, and if you didn’t they would start blowing things up and killing people.

Try sending in the militia like Patriots did at the Bundy showdown and you’ll probably find out what almost happened to them.

The regime, IMHO, is not the least bit afraid of a “civil war”; I think they want one so bad they can taste it.
It would give them an excuse to do what they have longed to do to what’s left of our Republic for years now.

That may actually be what Ferguson is all about.
Stay tuned on that deal.
