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!
Mexico builds its own wall against migrants
Pressure builds for measures to stem flow of refugees from the south heading for US

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.
