Why Trump's Proposed Border Wall Is A Dumb Idea!

With Americans spending over $100,000,000,000 annually on illegal drugs, the drug cartels of Mexico will find a way to get past any wall, hermetic seal, force field or yellow police tape to share in that profit.  Human smugglers and to a lesser extent, humans, wanting a better life, will also find a way, whether oceanic, through the sky or underneath any physical wall or barrier.

Since the 90's U.S. authorities have discovered at least 181 tunnels under the border or border wall, some with electricity, even track rails.  In 2010 a sophisticated tunnel was discovering between a house in Tijuana, Mexico and two warehouses in San Diego, California.

The proposed Trump border wall, planned for the 1,989 mile U.S./Mexico border, across desert, mountains and native american sovereign nations, is a 50's style solution for a 2017 problem. Litigation alone, from the Tohono O’Odham Nation, whose reservation measures 2.8 million acres in southern Arizona and northern Mexico, could take years.  

Funding the wall, said to cost $12 to $15 billion, will also be problematic.
