There are those who are upset that the border wall between Mexico and the United States is not yet built. I have to laugh at this, do people actually think there is going to be an instant wall made of concrete in a few months? Really?
There are huge mountains and canyons that have to be crossed with this wall, the challenges are enormous.
Maybe their just not finished! "Big beautiful walls" take time to design and then build. Trump has not been in an entire term yet, there hasn't been enough time to build a wall.
Looking at the terrain for a thousand miles on the border tells me it would be a huge challenge to build a wall, there must be engineering design involved. Do people actually think its going to take a couple of years to build. It takes years. Also it makes sense that the dangerous areas wouldn't even need a fence, just a fence up to those places.
The great wall of China took more than 200 years to build, its about a thousand miles long. So to think that a border over a thousand mile long can be thrown up in a few months is child like thinking.
A big beautiful wall takes many decades to build. The design of it takes years alone, then comes the challenges of construction.
I don't know if that wall will be built, but I know it will take a long time for the design let alone the actual construction. Some of that land along the border is private land, they may have to get permission, that takes time too.
Patience is not a virtue of the American people anymore. We are so "fast food" oriented culture that expects things to happen quickly. To expect a wall to be built in one presidents administration or even two administrations is silly at best.
Even if Trump were able to begin the wall, which is unlikely, since design work often takes years before the building can start, those that come after him would have to be on board with the building also.
Just because someone says they are going to built the wall, does not mean that it will get done. Those who come next can and probably will thwart the process. I don't think our president is a stupid man, he knows that things don't get built that quickly. He also knows that he can promise something, claim it will be done and blame others when it doesn't happen.
Trump can work toward the building of the wall, but most likely knows that those that come after him will not finish it. He has been in business all his life, he knows how these things work.
We don't even know if there is a contract with designers and builders right now. Or at least I don't know. Does anyone else?
