From what I have read, their tunnels even have ventilation systems:

Apparently, one of Trump's specifications is that the wall has to go six feet under ground, partly to discourage tunnelling and partly because a deep foundation is the only way to keep it stable. That said, I don't think there'll be that much keeping them from digging deeper, unless there's a level of bedrock by the Mexico-US border that's really that shallow, which is unlikely, given that people from the Smithsonian have said the loose soil at the surface of many stretches of the border makes it difficult to pull off.

How likely do you think it is that the mariachi bands at the border know this song?

Trump alone? No. Trump and his supporters? He could probably become a warlord in a couple minutes. Probably turn it into a real-life Kekistan. And, with no Congress to balance out his bullshit, it will almost immediately become clear why such a place exists only in the fevered imaginations of right-wing 4channers.

Bear in mind, my hypothesis hinges on the cultish devotion of Trump's base (which Tizheruk suggested go with him) to him. By himself, he's powerless. With them, I can certainly see him becoming Immortan Joe.
