Perspective:
The USA - Mexico border is 1,954 miles long. That's 10.3 million feet. A large portion of the border is out in the middle of nowhere. To try and get construction crews out there would cost a fortune. Now lets assume the wall has to be pretty high, pretty solid, and topped with some nasty stuff. Otherwise you could just break through it or climb over it.
Ok, between labor, materials, transportation, etc. let's figure a minimum cost of $50 a foot to construct Trump's wall. That's over a half a billion dollars. And he's going to get Mexico to foot the bill?
