Pres. Trump makes some progress in building the southern wall to stop illegal immigration from south-America.

However, he now faces court challenges for using some of funds assigned for Defence to build the Mexican wall.
Trump could tell Mexicans they must pay for the wall by giving away Mexican oil at $35/barrel, next 10 yrs, to permit controlled immigration of talented Mexican labor into America. There are no other rich neighbors, other than the US, in the region to buy Mexican oil.
The world in general and oil producers, in particular, continue to navigate in cheap crude availability. Mexico is trying to get ahead of the game — and potentially reap a big reward in the process. Mexico is home to oil reserves of at least 10 billion barrels according to U.S. Energy Information Administration figures. Mexico has traditionally done very well by hedging oil in global markets.
Mexico has traditionally done very well by hedging oil in global markets. Let it be sold to US and let US store all that oil in newer strategic storage caverns underground since it does not need so much oil right now
60% of US Oil comes now either from local production or by imports from Canada, Mexico, Venezuela… all within the Canada-North Ameria-South America region (so-called ‘Americas’ region.) US is happy with this ‘Americas’ coming together.
Some people are suggesting a ‘Panama Canal’ type… wide & sufficiently deep water-canal… filled with sea-water, with shipping routes on the canal that is easy to monitor by naval border patrol where feasible. Such canal building will create jobs on either side of the border for next 10 years (at least.)
There are some mountain and rocky areas where such canal is not feasible and the physical wall in such places can be: monitored-fence, steel/concrete wall, also monitored.
Trump wants 5 billion USD to begin work on Wall; it will take at least a decade (if not more,) to complete the Wall;

Thanks Sureshji- I checked the link you asked me to. I don’t remember if I had read it earlier when the issue was burning. Maybe, seen form that perspective of unskilled- uneducated labour force pouring in from the Central America entering unchecked in to America being stopped, maybe he has a point, but can America do without that cheap labour? As far as I think, such cheap labour force is essential to his goal of making America do without depending on the Chinese products? Will building a wall stop the influx? He is making it difficult for the Indians ( may be other foreigners too) from entering America, with the hope that the home grown talent will be able to replace the intellectual force from abroad making main work force in educated class. What do you think of that? Can that happen? Whatever little I have got exposed to the America, my reading is that a common American is pretty dumb as compared to his Indian or Chinese counterpart and at managerial levels of course there is no match because to begin there aren’t many American who wish to or can afford to pursue education after school level.
Ofcourse America can do without illegal migrants coming from anywhere in the world.
In last 20 years, average daily wages in America has increased from about $10/hr (1980) to about $25/hr (2020) for skilled laborers.
Skilled and certified daily wage earners in America do work, and live today in USA at $25/hr doing jobs in infrastructure-upgrade, retail-trade and self employment (road-labor, retail-store, self employed carpenter/smith/fitter etc jobs.)
Such labor do get free medi-help medi-care; send their children to government schools up to 12th grade.
Unemployment rate is about 9%, varies from season to seaon; US economy is growing at around 2.75% and The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the United States was worth 21427.70 billion US dollars in 2019, according to official data from the World Bank. These projections are from Trading Economics
The GDP value of the United States represents 17.65 percent of the world economy today.
Can you say all this about INDIA or HONDURAS, BELIZE and GUATEMALA in Centeral AMERICA?
If and when the border with Mexico and Southern America is fully controlled and sealed with the proposed WALL… there will be watch towers with police and military controling illegal migration over the land stretches from Mexico and Southern America.
Certified and Self Employed Plumbers and Electricians… make around $32/hr. Many buy own houses in about 10 to 15 years of such work and live happily.
He is obsessed with the thought and I believe that with his obsession of keeping all foreigners out has done more harm than good to America. I don’t think wall is going to make any difference even if it comes up after wasting colossal amount of money, but well I don’t think Joe Biden will be able to beat him. To me he seems like someone who doesn’t have the drive to hold the demanding office.
Navneet;
You are wrong on this issue. Pres.Trump is not against all foreigners (those from south of the borders included;) he is only against illegal migrants coming through the porous land borders between Mexico and N-America, especially untrained, unskilled from as far as Central America… from countries like Honduras, Belize, Guatemala and so on.
