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?
Oh it will produce a lot of jobs. Some will be wall washers to shine up and polish the gold plating of this glorious wall. Others will be put to work building large catapults and Trebuchets which will be used to fling illegals over the wall into Mexico. I envision a new national holiday called the day of purge where illegals are rounded up and and put on parade floats complete with candy to be thrown to children, with the parade route leading over to the catapults and trebuchets and then flung over the glorious gold plated wall.
haha just kidding. Seriously it will be good for national and economic security on all levels.

As I said some months ago. Building public shitters would be more useful and there would actually be a return on investment with everyone dropping a dime to use the loo.

It will prevent illegals from coming into the country. At least until they invent something to go over the wall. Like I don't know... maybe something made of wood. With maybe steps. It could be long, and then maybe they could climb it. Something like a ladder, but for walls.

Don't you think ppl will still be able to get in here illegally regardless of the wall though?

You do realize that the US taxpayers give Mexico just shy of a $Billion a year in foreign aid. All the US has to do is simply keep that money and apply it to the wall's cost. So in any case the US taxpayer will pay for the wall but by cutting off foreign aid we'll cut out the middleman.
Now if people still get in we'll just have to build some concentration camps. We have a lot of experience in doing that. Heck, we might even have to build some ovens.
