Since we will all die my corpse will serve a useful purpose.  Will you come get it and put it in the wall when I croak?  That'll be nice of you.

Quote: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.

That's a dumb idea because of blizzards.

Checked your profile which says you are from the US. Why are you against border security?

Well, here's some of the essential points as to why a border wall would be a dumb idea.





And here are his sources. It should cover every point made in the video, plus a good number of points from the rest of the episode.

Simply put, the drawbacks, such as... :

• Being the biggest and most expensive architectural boondoggle in American history, a project of such magnitude that has only been pulled off once in recorded history; and it will cost even more than $20 million when you take into account staffing and maintaining it so the work of enforcing it can actually happen.
  
• Having to span 2000 miles, which includes everything from mountains and rivers to villages and people's homes and even splitting a college campus in two. You really don't think this is going to cause serious trouble, especially given that Mexico clearly doesn't want to play ball?
  
• A surprisingly high number of illegal immigrants coming in with methods that would not be affected, from the cartels' tunnels to simple visa fraud and arriving by airplanes. Last time I heard, not even Trump expects to be able to make it high enough that planes can't fly over it.
  
• Its being unpopular, particularly along the border, with 72% of Americans at the border (and more on the Mexican side) being against it. How likely is it that it won't come up with a lot of resistance, from both Mexicans and Americans who don't like it?
  

... Outweigh any benefits, especially given that this is an extremely shitty time, since that actual border crossings are actually a lot lower than they have been; the fact that the only border between two nations that aren't officially killing each other that's more militarised than US-Mexico border today is the border between North and South Korea.

Also, if you opposed Obamacare mainly because you were afraid we'd still be paying for its implementation generations from now, you have no business being for this shit, since this would be worse in every way, more money for even less return.

Really, regardless of what you may think of illegal immigration or border security, building a wall is actually a very, very stupid idea and the practical flaws alone (even disregarding any moral problems) demonstrate this.

How is Trump's Wall not a bad way to approach border security with all this in mind?

Having the wall will make me feel better and that's very important.

Well holy fuck, you're right. I never even thought about snow storms. After all they might shut down a mag-lev train line.

Guess we better scrap all the plans for airports, traditional train lines and the interstate fucking highway system. After all, those can be closed by blizzards as well.

Seriously, your best argument against a mag-lev line is blizzards?!?

So not "fucking starving" now means "take in everyone" and "completely open borders"?

Forgive my chuckling, but you've got a lot of thinking to do -- and catching up on your English comprehension. Spend your time wisely.

Guess what. Trump spelt backwards is Pmurt. Which rhymes with Butthurt.

Some anagrams for Donald Trump:

Land Dump Rot
Land Turd Mop
Damn Turd Pol

Tell me that ain't funny.

More include:

Mad Lord Punt
Damp Old Runt
And, my favorite: Odd Mr Nut Lap

The only idiots are people who want them here.

Do you really think Brazilians are that large a proportion of illegal immigration, or were you just hoping that no one would take the time to look that up and find out how full of shit you are?

(I mean, I already knew how full of shit you are ... but it's always nice to build the foundation stronger. )

The population density isn't great enough in America to justify  such a system. Plus it would cost a fortune to gain the right-of-ways.  And if you have to make stops for one or two passengers you will bleed money and lose too much time, defeating the purpose of having such a system.
