Trump orders wall to be built on Mexico border

[Ravenshire]

If American workers are hired to build it, this would be a great investment to put Americans to work and the money would be reinvested in the local economies. Or Mexico could build it and put their citizens to work to help build their local economy. This is just the start of infrastructure spending and putting citizens back to work and building local economies.

It's ironic because Mexico is building their own wall to keep migrants from traveling through Mexico into the US, so not only would our wall help the US, it would help Mexico. It's a win win situation!

To clarify, are you saying then that the wall is a good idea only because it would give people a job while they build it? If so, is it reasonable to pay billions to build useless things only so that people will get paid doing it?

I've got a much better idea for all that money. It'll provide construction jobs for decades and maintenance and operation jobs for much, much longer. Build a mag-lev train line from L.A. to N.Y. (with plenty of N/S spurs) to help reduce the country's dependence on fossil fuels and increase security against terror attacks. A kind of modern "New Deal."

Somehow, I don't think Daffy is that forward thinking.
