If your dream is Mexico, I guess. Although that may only be the start of the walls. It's in fashion to quote it now, but 1984 talks already about the walls of the mind, and how exactly they can be built.

I've been listening to the audiobook of 1984 recently. Strange piece of literature. The main character's romantic relationship with the female character is just bizarre. Upon seeing her, he imagines raping and killing her. When he tells her he wanted to rape and kill her, she laughs.

The Trump wall is in essence a great idea, only it has not been thought through to the end. Not only should he have a wall built between Mexico and the US but also between the US and Canada, while not forgetting to put up walls along the eastern and western coastlines. Then he could have a roof put on top of those walls, thus allowing him to freely mess about his "backyard", while the rest of the world would be save from his rantings and ravings and the ensuing (very possibly dire) consequences.

And no, I am not kidding.

I have a feeling that this whole "wall" thing, is all about people's psycology. Like when you see open borders you often get tempted to cross them, but when you got walls and fences... You will think twice.

Maybe? Because if we're talking about the current situation of how illegal immigrants end up in the country, the wall is going to do little to nothing. Reforming the way we handle passports, visas, and green cards and other forms of legal yet limited immigration is going to do much more than an overly expensive wall.

Besides being beyond too expensive, that just wouldn't practically work. We live in thw 21st century; walls haven't been good defense against anything since the invention of artillery. Look at Byzantium's incredible walls that were easily taken down by the Ottomans. Also, how would we get sunlight? And if we didn't get sunlight, plants would die and how would we get food?

Simply, building more walls will put us in greater debt and is totally an impractical idea.

but minus the idea of build a wall between usa and canada, mexico wall would be good. It doesnt need to be very tall or super thick

Yeah well, the wall itself wont do much as we know that "desperate mans" find desperate ways to enter a country. Constant control and check of visas, passports etc might help but that is not 100% sure again.

It would do more than a wall since the majority of illegal immigrants come into the country through legal methods and overstay. You're building something that I'd more symbolic than an actual solution.

You're essentially building a tall fence with a tall gate but you have keys laying around outside that let people enter regardless.
