TIJUANA, Mexico (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump’s wall is far from built but towering concrete and steel prototypes in San Diego are making Mexicans living just south of the border feel his campaign pledge has turned them into “pariahs.”

Eight samples as high as 30 feet (9 meters) were completed last week near the Otay Mesa border crossing, the first tangible sign of Trump’s vow to build a wall from California to Texas for some $21.6 billion.

You’d have to deport 7500 per day for four years to remove the lowball eleven million illegals. Unless the country puts on its big boy pants and performs a full gestapo style nationwide sweep, get used to the country drowning in them long after Trump has left office. They won’t “self deport” and they breed faster than they are arrested.

I imagine they would be, because they think they should be able to ignore our laws and borders anytime they want.
We would not need a wall if Mexicans respected us.

...The worst thing is, it’s being built by Latinos themselves...

How ironic.

The only thing that would be better than the wall would be the catapult to fling wetbacks over the wall and back into mexico.

I think you’re getting Tijuana and Juarez mixed up. But your analysis is spot on with either

Yes. I was stationed north of both when I was working as a Hawk Missile radar repairman down there. The Sergeants in charge of both companies warned us not to visit those places. Nothing but trouble, and it wouldn’t look good on our records.
