The biggest issue is that in the end no wall will keep people out if they really want in. They will find a new way in, maybe not at the same pace, but they will still come in. The wall is a red herring, and it really always has been. It is a tangible idea that his followers can get behind, but in the end congress would never fund it and it won't happen even if he is elected.

Stopping free trade with Mexico would actually help us financially according to many Macro-Economists (at the absolute worst; it would hurt mexico much more than us).  Mexico has benefited greatly from NAFTA and now export about $1 Billion dollars a day. We had a $54 Billion trade deficient with Mexico in 2013, so using your logic the wall would cost them about 2 month's worth of trade to the US.


I'm sure Dino will appreciate these facts.
