Opinion | Finally, a good argument for the wall
Can you imagine what will happen with the Wall, even if Congress appropriates $25 billion? It will instantly be in court. Start with environmental challenges. It will of course interrupt the migration path of the Eastern Arizona accelerati incredibilus. It will disrupt holy native lands and archeological sites. Heck, infrastructure has to pass cost benefit tests, and good luck with that one. The contracting was improperly done. State attorneys general busy suing the Trump administration will quickly add to this one.
As with solar cells, as with the second avenue subway, as with the high speed train, as with the Keystone pipeline, good luck building any infrastructure in America today — and especially good luck building one that makes little sense and is a highly politicized hot potato.
If they gave the President all he wanted, tomorrow, this thing would not be out of court for decades, long after a democratic congress or administration kills it. … Even $25 billion of waste to fix immigration would not be a bad tradeoff. The waste to our country in the current immigration system is on the back of my envelope orders of magnitude greater than that.
