John McSween The wall was only a part of the reason he was elected to be President. Russia also wanted the sanctions lifted off of them and as such, helped Trump get elected to be President.
But:
a. How many of the massive 'invading' caravan got through the border? Not many if any as far as I know. So, the border security must be doing something right already. It's certainly not a national emergency.
b. Take a look at the actual geography of the southern border from sea to sea. Anybody who even thought of a concrete wall from sea to sea was delusional and even lately Trump claiming now it will be steel bars from sea to sea, is still delusional. Electronic borders and nature itself makes up a large part of the border already, with about 650 - 700 miles of actual border already in place.
c. If Mexico and/or the US and/or Canada don't ratify the new trade deal, then the new trade deal doesn't go into full effect. So, how is Mexico going to pay for the wall as Trump not only promised would occur, but even guaranteed would occur? Trump is a lying scumbag and can't get out of the office of the President of the USA soon enough. Trump has alienated our allies and emboldened our enemies, exactly opposite of what he should be doing.
d. And Trump claims he wants to keep America safe. So then, why does he have the Coast Guard risking their lives and not being paid for doing so? Why does he have the TSA who is trying to keep the flying public safe not get paid? And what leader of a great nation shuts down the IRS during tax season? And again, the shutdown started even BEFORE the Democrats took over the Congress.
