The US-Mexican border is like 2000 miles long. From an engineering perspective, is building a wall along it even possible?

If so, how many years would it take and how much would it cost?

There is no physical or engineering reasons why you can't have a wall of nearly arbitrary length across land.

It would financially cost billions of dollars. Really dumb waste of money.

The idea is incredibly stupid and people would be able to circumvent it quickly almost regardless of how it was put together. Either up, through, or under. No wall is security on its own. Walls are just something to slow people down, not truly a solution to keep people out.

I guess my OP should have been more specific. I meant it is possible to build a 2000 mile long wall that actually works.

The "wall" would be penalties on employers that hire illegals.
Bam! Done.

They built the Great Wall of China, so I'm sure we could build the wall. Get a bunch of slave labor and we could do that poo poo in a few years.

great minds think alike

Maybe if we didn't have so many poor people it would be easier to identify undocumented immigrants once they were here.

This is what they said about getting on the Moon. The Great Mexican Wall (and round up) will be America's new cultural achievement of science and engineering.

Great Mexican Wall?

I don't know if it will get built, if it's economically feasible to build, how long it would take etc, but I do know one thing: It will be called the Trump Wall.

In Trump Wall tower defense you have to stop the invaders before they get across the border and a democrat hands them a voter registration card.
