That will go over about as well as a lead balloon...
It seems to be topping the charts of at least two Russians news aggregators that I know of, despite its ridiculous objective insignificance (5 thousand signatures is like chump's change on the Internet). And, since all media sites in Russia are, obviously, controlled by the government...

If Russia had any interest in doing something with Mexico, they probably would have tried something already. Though yeah, an invasion would not go over well.

Couldn't the Wall actually help Mexico if it slows the passage of drugs northward and guns southwards?

They'll just find some way around it, whether under* or over, don't underestimate human ingenuity.

*That depends on what measures we take, if any, to make it harder to tunnel under it. The dorfian method would of course, be magma.

Err, isn't by this point pretty clear that the wall was a dumb, unworkable idea to begin with?

And yet they're planning on trying to build it anyway :P

Eh, no. They're backpedaling. Because it cannot be done in any reasonable fashion. It was simply too stupid to do.

They changed it to mostly fence, but whether it's a fence or a wall, they're going to build something.

RAISE FENCE just doesn't have quite the same xenophobic sheen as BUILD WALL, I'm afraid. Please turn in your meme card.

It's a chicken wire wall, not a fence. Newspeak to the rescue.

isn't he using retail price for concrete tho? it is missing the cost for leveling out the whole thing and prepare the ground, so I'm gonna guess it's a tall order anyway.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

We can work to make it easier to get in legally by all means but its hardly xenophobic for people to think the border should be secure, especially considering the human traficers and drug cartels.
