The Absolute Absurdity of Building A Wall


I'm going to be completely frank on this post.  Because truthfully we shouldn't even be talking about this.  This really shouldn't even be a thing.  At all.  Period.  The fact that this is an actual discussion speaks to just how unforgivably ridiculous American society has become.  What am I talking about?  I'm talking about President Donald J. Trump's absurd and absolutely laughable plan to build a wall along the Mexican border.  It's outrageous to the point of being cartoonish.  It would be comedic if it wasn't so ridiculous.  In fact, I don't know who is more outrageous: Donald Trump for proposing the idea or us for entertaining it.

I mean what part of this plan ISN'T absurd?  It's logistically impossible.  The cost of trying to build a wall is through the stratosphere.  It's not going to deter undocumented immigrants from entering the country.  It's kindergarten level foolishness.  Yet here we are entertaining this as if it's even possible, much less feasible.  It's as if our minds have be muddled to the point of where we cannot think clearly.  Why is no one challenging the new President on this?  Why are we pretending this is a thing?  Why are we not calling this out for being the unforgivably brazen fuckery that it is?

I want to say Americans cannot be this uneducated.  But apparently we are.  Either that or we hate Mexicans so much that we'll entertain any nonsensical rubbish from any nonsensical clown(my money is on both if I must be honest).  Because this is clown level foolishness people.  We all know it too.  There is no way to build a wall along the entire border of Mexico.  It's ridiculous to even suggest.   Maps are your friends people.  It's just not possible.  I don't know why anyone would think for a moment that it is. 

Then there is the cost.  Mexico isn't paying for a wall.  Hello, McFly.  Anyone home?  Any effort to build one is coming out of American tax payers pockets.  Period.  We know it.  Hell even Trump himself knows it.  His attempts to bully Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto is cringe worthy.  It's not going to happen.  Trump has even casually threatened a 20% import tax on Mexico.  A move that will not only hurt the American economy, but should it hurt the Mexican economy it will only result in MORE people coming to the States.  It's mind boggling how stupid this is.

Want more?  Let's pretend you COULD build a wall along the Mexican border.  Less than half of the undocumented immigrants in the country are Mexican nationals.  Most undocumented immigrants are here on overstayed visas.  They did not run across the border of Mexico.  So what in God's name is a wall supposed to do?  How does a wall even BEGIN to address the issue of illegal immigration? It's like a child came up with all this.

There is no part of "build a wall" that isn't ridiculous. Not one part.  It's absurd from the word go.  The question we need to start asking is why no one is calling this what it is?  Where is the media?  Where are politicians who know better?  Who is going to have the stones to call this nonsense out for what it is?  Am I the only one that sees how racist, pathetic, and outlandish this is?  I can't be...

Anyway thanks for reading.  You know how we do...
